We are building a social media site that allows users to upload videos. We would like to group by “most popular”, etc. One approach may be to make an api call for every video to get stats but we will be hosting many thousands of videos. Is there a more efficient way to get these stats?
Hello @bneesan and welcome!
Thank you for using api.video and for your question.
Unfortunately, video’s view count is not currently available from our public API, but we take your request into consideration.
You can think about a workaround for now, like track each time one of your users is playing a video.
Our Player SDK allows you to bind an event on firstplay to do this kind of tracking.
Feel free to reach us anytime!
