Reverse Lookup steps

Entertainment Discovery Services (EDS) Reverse Lookup is supported for all Video media types (MediaItemType.Movie, MediaItemType.TVSeries, MediaItemType.TVEpisode, MediaItemType.TVSeason, and MediaItemType.TVShow), as well as MediaItemType.Unknown.

Reverse lookup requires 4 parameters to be passed:

  • idType=ScopedMediaId
  • ids= the provider media ID
  • ScopeIdType=Title
  • ScopeId= the provider title ID

Usually the reverse lookup requires 2 steps:

  • Retrieve provider media id (for example, from a details call) if it's not available.
GET /media/en-us/details?ids=4eeaf5b4-9af2-56e4-a738-68b48e954494&desiredMediaItemTypes=Movie&desired=Providers
  • Issue the call for reverse lookup using the ProviderMediaId field from the previous response:
GET /media/en-us/details?ids=047d19ca-3a7d-462c-bdbb-163543125583&idType=ScopedMediaId&desiredMediaItemTypes=Movie&fields=all&ScopeIdType=Title&ScopeId=0x5848085B

If the ProviderMediaId field has not been retrieved from EDS then the field must be URL-encoded to be passed correctly to EDS.
