Push Templates

This example will use the News template found in the Public Templates folder:

Click the template, and add it to your media:

Now send this media to your active playlist:

You’ll need to find your group id, API key, media id, and player id.
Click here at the top right of the page:

For example, QuickCast Media’s group section looks like this.
The group id is 1 and the push data key can be obtained by pressing “Get New Key”.

You’ll need the media id of the template. Check the id on the media page by pressing the edit button:

Next, you’ll want to find out the player id that you’ll be targeting.
Go to the endpoints page and the id is displayed at the top of the selected endpoint:

You’ll need to set up a program to push your “News” to the screen.
A developer will be needed to pull your data from its source, and push this data into the system on a timed interval.
You should only be pushing a minimum of every 5 minutes.

A POST message to this address will allow you to send data down to your player:

https://push.pixyl.ca/api/push

The body of the message will look like this (change parameterData to suit your needs):

  "playerIds": [ 1 ],

}

The response code should come back as:

{"success":true,"errors":[],"messages":[],"id":null}

If it is deemed “success” then the data will flow out to the player screen within 5 minutes.
