Linear program groups

Note: Only BeBanjo accounts configured for Planning will expose linear program groups in the API.

The linear program group resource represents a planned series to be emitted in a given channel.

This is how a Linear program group looks through the API:

Valid attributes

  • id (read only): BeBanjo internal identifier of the linear program group.

  • name (read only): the name of the linear program group.

  • episodes-selection-type (read only, optional): if series link is present, the selection kind of catalogue series episodes. Can be all, except or only.

  • episodes-selection (read only, optional): if series link is present, string defining the sequence of selected programs based on the episodes_selection_type and the selected catalogue series.

  • start (read only): timestamp representing when the linear program group starts.

  • frequency (read only): string defining how the program group is scheduled. Can be daily, weekly or monthly.

  • sequence (read only, optional): if series link is not present, string defining the sequence of repetitions assigned to the linear program group.

  • repeats (read only, optional): how the program repeats for weekly or monthly frequency. For weekly frequency, it’s a list of week days (separated by commas), from 0 (for Sunday) to 6 (for Saturday). For monthly frequency, it’s a list of days (separated by commas), from 1 to 31. For daily frequency it’s not present.

  • ends-on (read only, optional): date limit for the linear programs repetition pattern. It is mandatory when the max-occurrences value is not defined.

  • max-occurrences (read only, optional): integer defining the maximum number of linear programs generated by the program group. It is mandatory when the ends-on value is not defined.

  • notes (read only, optional): plain text with notes added to the linear program group.

  • marked-as-problem (read only): boolean defining if the linear program group was marked as a problem.

  • tags (read only, optional): list of tags assigned to the linear program separated by commas.

  • option-name (read only, optional): the option name where the linear program group belongs. It belongs to the Main option when it is empty.

  • program-count (read only): the number of linear programs generated by the program group.

  • created-at (read only): timestamp representing when the linear program group was created.

  • updated-at (read only): timestamp representing when the linear program group was updated for the last time.

  • channel: The linear channel the linear program belongs to.

  • series: The catalogue series the linear program belongs to. This link is optional.

  • category: The linear category the linear program group belongs to. This link is optional and it is only present when a category is associated.

  • linear_programs: The linear programs that belong to the linear program group.
