Vodpod API


Build your own video widget, or

Power a complete video community right on your site



The Vodpod API allows you to build custom video player widgets. By using the API you have complete control over all styling and video playback behavior. A custom widget provides a seamless mechanism for incorporating video into your site, while still using Vodpod for back-end management (tagging, thumbnailing, view tracking, broken video replacement and more). To help you get started, we've open sourced the code for our Gallery widget.


Power a complete video community

The Vodpod API allows you to programmatically add videos to any collection. This means you can power a complete video-collecting community on your site, using your existing user accounts.
