Control Panel — API Documentation

This API updates an existing playlist's configuration. A Playlist can be configured to play through its list once, to loop continuously, or to fallback to a previous playlist after it has finished. A playlist that is active can be disabled, or rescheduled.

Updating your Google Anayltics key will cause all playlists that run on the same channel to have their GA keys updated as well.
