Destinations represent a location where content should be pushed to- we refer to this as a Target and it is enumerated consistently throughout the system.

Destinations generally contain information relating to API access, and identifying information for where on the Target platform the content is being pushed to. For example, a Facebook destination will have a ResourceId which relates to the Facebook page or timeline where the content will exist.

Custom Destinations are an exception in that they do not always determine a consistent location. It is possible for two publications to share a Custom destination, but push to completely separate platforms.

Destination Object

A Destination will contain the following:

{
    "id": "2fd62eed-24ea-4feb-a409-a1fe1704cc86",
    "name": "Example Destination",
    "target": 5,
    "configJson": "{...}",
    "client": "vualto-example",
    "active": false,
    "link": "...",
    "destinationProperties": []
}

The configJson property will vary between Target types and is used by the system to manage API access. Please refer to the below for details on required data.

---

Destination Metadata

There are a set of permitted values querying the API for Metadata. See query Target metadata and query Destination metadata.

Metadata:

• YouTubeRegions
• YouTubeVideoCategories
• YouTubePrivacyStatus
• YouTubeLicense
• YouTubePlaylists
• FacebookPages

Some data requires or supports extra data sent in the request, if providing the DestinationId this can be pre-populated from the existing data. This is as follows:

    YouTubeVideoCategories - requires `?youTubeRegions=X` to be specified, unless providing DestinationId.
