1. API Description

Domain name for API request: vod.intl.tencentcloudapi.com.

This API is used to query the download address of playback statistics files.

  • You can query the download links for playback statistics files from the past one year. The time span between the start date and end date cannot exceed 90 days.
    VOD analyzes and processes the CDN request logs of the previous day to generate playback statistics files.
  • The playback statistics file contains statistical information such as the number of plays and total traffic of media files.
  • Playback count statistics description:
  • HLS file: The number of plays is counted when an M3U8 file is accessed, but not when a TS file is accessed.
  • Other files (for example, MP4 files): If the playback request includes the range parameter and the start parameter of range is not equal to 0, the number of plays is not counted. In other cases, the number of plays is counted.
  • Statistics of playback devices: If a playback request includes the UserAgent parameter and the UserAgent contains identifiers such as Android or iPhone, it is counted as a mobile playback count. Otherwise, it is counted as a PC playback count.
  • Playback statistics only target VOD domains, excluding EdgeOne domain name distribution.

A maximum of 20 requests can be initiated per second for this API.
