Documentation

Welcome to IVA Documentation!

Our documentation pages provide you with the information you need to get the most from our service. The menu on the left of this page points to articles on every facet of putting trailers on your site. Use the menu to jump quickly to the subject you need.

There are two basic steps to putting trailers onto your site. First, get the data about the title you want along with its Published ID. Next, use our Video API to to access one of our many video formats that can be streamed through the player of your choice.   Use our Getting Started guides to choose the service and implementation path that will best fit your needs.  If you still cannot decide on which way is best, have one of our experts guide you through the documentation and all of our services.
