Question: Can the Embed API retrieve Table of Contents (Chapters) data?

in API
Hello Panopto team,
We are currently embedding Panopto videos into our web service (both PC and mobile).
Our business requirement is to display a Table of Contents (Chapters) next to the video player, and allow users to click an item to jump to the corresponding timestamp.
Could you please clarify the following:
- Is there any way, via the Embed API or Public API, to retrieve the chapter (Table of Contents) data for a given video?
- If available, can this data be used to build a custom UI (e.g., a chapter list on the side) and enable time-based navigation when a user clicks a chapter?
- If this is not currently supported, is there a roadmap for supporting it, or any alternative approaches you can recommend?
Thank you for your guidance.
Best regards,
Hyoyoung Im

Hi Hyoyoung,
Unfortunately this feature is not exposed through the API.
You can request this to be added to the API in the Feature Requests section.
Thanks,
