Create Playlist - Plugixa Video for WordPress

Create Playlist - Plugixa Video

POST /pvx/v1/playlists

Create a playlist owned by the caller, optionally with its first video.

Any signed-in user (signed in with an Application Password or the login cookie). Signed out, it answers 401. Needs the Playlists app on in Plugixa Video -> App manager; with it off, this route answers 404.

Note. A user can own at most 100 playlists. A video_id that cannot be added (a draft, or no such video) is skipped without an error: the playlist is still created, empty.
