Fully automatic and periodic mass distribution with our interface  
 
As a business, music publishing, television, magazine, Computer Journal, producer of video tutorials, travel, community, etc. ... You may have hundreds or thousands of videos you want for marketing purposes on a regular basis and use again and again online. That means even using the free version of VideoCounter.com a lot of work. 


 

With the VideoCounter.com API you ensure that your web films are uploaded to the video portals automatically. Manual activities are entirely dispensed with. To this end, we would agree on an interface with you, e.g. in XML/RSS format.




We look forward to hearing from you!
