Important Note

API calls are subject to the whims of internet connectivity, and may throw an exception for any number of reasons:

• The Brightcove API may be down or not functioning correctly.
• Network connectivity may be lost between your application and Brightcove.
• Invalid parameters passed to the API may result in an error message in the response JSON. The message will be wrapped in a BrightcoveApiException and thrown so that it may be handled via normal .NET error handling mechanisms.

Although the examples shown here do not include try/catch blocks, in order to ensure that your app is as robust as possible make sure to try/catch all API calls.
