The asset ID can be any ID unique to that asset for that type. The same ID must be used when storing and retrieving the assets. The API will not validate any ID provided, the client is responsible for making sure that the assets are retrievable by the same parameters as they were stored with. For recordings , it is recommended to use the recording ID. For catchup assetsand catchup, it is recommended to use the broadcast slot ID or EPG ID. If any other ID is used, it might not be possible to aggregate view counts, which may be necessary for some "most popular" APIs.
