Creates a new video player profile for the authenticated user
Create New Profile
The Create New Profile endpoint allows you to establish new video player configurations that can be applied to your videos. This endpoint is fundamental for setting up customized player experiences tailored to different audiences, campaigns, or use cases.
Overview
Creating a new profile establishes a baseline configuration that you can later customize with specific settings for player controls, colors, VSL features, save progress functionality, and advanced playback options. Each profile serves as a template that can be applied to multiple videos, ensuring consistent branding and behavior across your content.
What You Need to Provide
When creating a new profile, you need to specify:
- Profile Name: A unique identifier for your profile
- Exclusive Flag: Optional boolean indicating whether this profile has special access restrictions
The profile name serves as the primary identifier and should be meaningful for your organization's workflow. Many users employ UUID-style naming conventions for systematic profile management.
What You'll Receive
Upon successful creation, the API returns:
- Profile ID: A unique UUID that permanently identifies your new profile
- Profile Name: Confirmation of the name you assigned
- Success Message: Confirmation that the profile was created successfully
This response provides the essential information needed to reference and configure your new profile in subsequent operations.
