Return List of Videos From Channel (Playlist)

What do I need to do to get the list of all videos from a specific channel (playlist)? I've got the `/channels/videos/list?channel_key=XXXXXXXX` endpoint. Then I found this page (https://developer.jwplayer.com/jw-platform/reference/v1/authentication.html) which talks about adding an api_key, api_timestamp, api_nonce, and api_signature to the request as well. I did that, but am now getting an invalid signature response.

Here's a sample of my code.

```
$api_key = 'XXXXXXXX';
$unix_timestamp = time();
$api_nonce = mt_rand(10000000, 99999999);
$api_signature = sha1($api_key . $unix_timestamp . $api_nonce);

$videos = $botr_api->call("/channels/videos/list?channel_key=XXXXXXXX&api_key=" . $api_key . "&api_timestamp=" . $unix_timestamp . "&api_nonce=" . $api_nonce . "&api_signature=" . $api_signature);

echo "<pre>";
print_r($videos);
echo "</pre>";
```

Can you point me in the right direction?

The best way to get the videos in the playlist is to make a request to the content service via the http://content.jwplatform.com/feeds/<channel_key>.rss (or .json) url. Documentation is available at: http://developer.jwplayer.com/jw-platform/reference/v1/urls/feeds.html

Okay, so I realized I wasn't following all of the directions on the page. Went back through and fixed that up, but it's not working with the PHP API that I downloaded from the site, I have to use this:

http://api.jwplatform.com/v1/

What is the "best" way for me to get a JSON response in PHP of only the videos that are in a certain playlist?

Alright! Figured it out. No documentation specifically on this though.

Didn't need to do any of that complicated stuff, just this with the PHP API.

$botr_api->call("/channels/videos/list", array('channel_key' => 'XXXXXX'));

Might want to throw that in the documentation somewhere, either that or I couldn't find it.
