Player Services Regional Endpoints

The player services always returns the global endpoint by default. However, you can choose to override the global endpoint value and use a regional endpoint instead. For more information, see Global and Regional CMOD Endpoints.

There are three available playerservices endpoints for global geographic regions. For best results (quicker listener connection, etc.) use the one that is closest to the location of most of your listeners. (Note that the examples in this article all use the playerservices endpoint.)

Endpoint	Region
playerservices	North America, South America.
ap-playerservices	Asia-Pacific.
eu-playerservices	Europe, Africa.
