EDS Reverse Lookup for Video

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.
