Frequently Asked Questions
What is content integration (platform integration) for licensed content?
Content integration—also called platform integration—is the process of delivering CARAVAN’s licensed content inside an organization’s existing app, website, portal, or digital experience. CARAVAN provides flexible content integration methods and supporting metadata so content appears natively within a partner’s platform, branding, and user journeys rather than as a separate destination.
What integration and delivery options does CARAVAN support?
CARAVAN supports four main content integration options based on an organization’s technical setup: API integration for real-time, programmatic access; MP4 files to download and self-host; embed codes to embed content with minimal effort; and a fully branded, CARAVAN-hosted experience. Metadata feeds can accompany any option to power search, filtering, and recommendations.
How do I embed CARAVAN content on my website or app?
To embed CARAVAN content, you can add a simple embed code to your website or app with no developer work required, or use CARAVAN’s API to embed and update content programmatically. Embedding content this way places licensed videos, articles, and other resources natively within your platform, branding, and user experience.
Is there an embed code to add content without developer work?
Yes. CARAVAN provides a copy-paste embed code that adds content to your site or app like a widget—no engineering effort needed. Teams that want deeper control can use CARAVAN’s API to embed content and manage updates programmatically, so both no-code and developer-led paths are supported.
What content formats can I embed or integrate?
You can embed or integrate CARAVAN’s expert-led videos, short-form videos, articles, infographics, recipes, audios, and structured programs. The same content integration methods—API, MP4, embed code, or a branded hosted experience—work across web and mobile platforms.
How does CARAVAN handle metadata, taxonomy, and search within our platform?
CARAVAN can provide structured metadata—titles, descriptions, topics, formats, languages, and tags—so integrated content maps into an organization’s existing taxonomy and search experience. This lets partners organize, filter, recommend, and surface the right resources within their own user journeys instead of a standalone library.
Can integrated content be delivered in multiple languages?
Yes. CARAVAN offers multilingual content across more than 20 languages, and language metadata is included with integrated content so partners can filter and present resources by language within their platform.
How is integrated content kept up to date?
CARAVAN manages ongoing content research, review, and production, and delivers updates through the chosen integration method. With API integration and metadata feeds, updates and new content can flow to a partner’s platform automatically; with downloaded or embedded content, CARAVAN coordinates a refresh process so libraries stay current.
How does CARAVAN support security, accessibility, and data governance during integration?
CARAVAN works with each partner’s technical, privacy, and data-governance requirements when configuring an integration, and content is developed with accessibility in mind, including captions and alignment with ADA and WCAG standards. Specific security and data-handling details are confirmed with each organization based on the selected delivery method and platform.
