getContentList (v1.5)

This API provides the list of contents under the URI. For example, this API returns external inputs by indicating "extInput:*" as the URI.

If the number of contents is too large to be retrieved in a single request, the 'stIdx' and 'cnt' parameters should be used to retrieve partial lists. To get the complete list, multiple requests are to be made by adjusting the 'stIdx' and 'cnt' parameters. There is a maximum limit on the number of contents that can be retrieved in a single request. This limit is device specific. The 'cnt' parameter also has the same maximum limit.

For details on how to get content information, see Getting content information.
