JWT keys

JWT keys

If you have a video whose privacy is set as authenticated then a valid cookie or JSON Web Token (JWT) is required to be sent along with the request for its landing page, embed code or HLS manifest.

Please see our guide on making a public and private key, along with the expected structure of the JWT: How do I use a JWT to authenticate private videos.

Manage your JWT keys by making the following requests:

GET /jwt_keys

curl \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR-API-KEY"  \
