What it carries

A titled list of up to twelve points arriving one by one, in pages of up to six, marked by bullets, numbers, ticks or icons, each with an optional second line. metaData is the post's title, descriptions and hashtags and is never drawn.

Field	Type	Required	Limit	What it is
clipData	group	yes		Clip data: Everything drawn: a kicker, the title, how the points are marked, the points with their second lines, the source and the look.
clipData.kicker	text		up to 20 characters	Kicker: A word above the title, such as NEW or EXPLAINED.
clipData.title	text	yes	up to 80 characters	Title
clipData.marks	enum		bullets, numbers, ticks, icons	Marks: How each point is marked. Icons uses each point's own icon.
clipData.items	list	yes	at least 1, up to 12	Points: Shown one by one, in this order, up to six on a page; each point adds three seconds, so twelve run about 40 seconds.

clipData.items[].detail	text		up to 90 characters	Second line: A line under the point that explains it.
clipData.source	text		up to 70 characters	Source: Where the content comes from, shown small at the foot. Drawn exactly as written: write its label too, such as Source: at the start, as the template adds no word of its own.
clipData.styleWords	group			Style words: The few words some styles write into their own frame, each drawn exactly as written, in the language you write it in. A word left out is not drawn: no template adds a word of its own. The same keys in every format of the collections; each style draws only its own.
clipData.styleWords.live	text		up to 16 characters	Live marker (Broadcast news): Written beside the light in Broadcast news' channel bug, such as LIVE. Left out, the light stands alone.
clipData.styleWords.byline	text		up to 12 characters	Byline (Editorial): Written before the presenter's name in Editorial, such as By. Left out, the name stands alone.
clipData.styleWords.functionKeys	list		up to 4	Function keys (Data terminal): Data terminal's row of keys F1 to F4, one word each, in order, such as HELP, DATA, CHART and NEWS; the second is drawn held down, and a key that does not fit the row is left out. Left out, no keys are drawn.
clipData.styleWords.functionKeys[]	text		up to 12 characters	Key
clipData.styleWords.commandKey	text		up to 10 characters	Command key (Data terminal): The key at the end of Data terminal's row, in the rise colour, such as GO. Left out, none is drawn.

clipData.styleWords.pictureLabel	text		up to 12 characters	Picture panel label (Data terminal): Written in the strip along the top of Data terminal's picture panels, such as IMG. Left out, the strip stays empty.
clipData.look	group			Look: How the clip looks and moves within its style. The same five switches in every format of the collections. Leave a switch out, or set it to the style's own, and the style decides.
clipData.look.theme	enum		auto, brand, light, dark, bold	Theme: The style's own choice; your brand's own colours and background; a light or dark page tinted with your brand colour; or your brand colour as the page.
clipData.look.pace	enum		auto, calm, standard, punchy	Pace: How things arrive: the style's own rhythm, calm fades, a standard rhythm, or punchy slams and cuts.
clipData.look.corners	enum		auto, square, soft, round	Corners: The shape of cards, panels and marks.
clipData.look.align	enum		auto, start, centre	Text alignment: Where the text lines up.
clipData.look.logo	enum		auto, free	Logo: The style's own: the logo on the style's plate (a card, a disc, a badge) so it reads on any page. As it is: the logo whole, with no plate, frame or crop, for a logo made to stand on the page, such as one with a transparent background. As it is, make sure your logo reads on the page of the theme you choose.
clipData.look.logoSize	enum		auto, small, large	Logo size: Standard is the style's own size. Small draws the logo a fifth smaller, with its plate. Large draws it a quarter larger wherever the style has room for it, and at the standard size where it has none.
metaData	group			Meta data: Everything about the post that is never drawn in the clip: its title, its description in four lengths, one per kind of platform, and its hashtags. Reelwire adds the brand's description, link and hashtags after it. Left out, the post text is generated from the clip data.
metaData.title	text		up to 100 characters	Title: Used where the platform has a title of its own: Facebook Feed, LinkedIn, Pinterest and YouTube. Up to 100 characters, which every one of them takes.
metaData.captionTiny	text		up to 200 characters	Tiny description (Pinterest, Threads, X): Up to 200 characters. The brand's description, link and hashtags follow it within the platform's limit.
metaData.captionShort	text		up to 500 characters	Short description (Telegram, Threema, WeChat, WhatsApp): Up to 500 characters. The brand's description, link and hashtags follow it within the platform's limit.

metaData.hashtags[]	text		up to 60 characters	Hashtag

locales carries other languages: under each language code, the parts of clipData and metaData that differ, laid over the default, so a language with no copy still renders.

A picture is always a file from your media library: media:// followed by its id or its name. Anything the table does not list is refused, and so is anything over its limit, with a 400 schema_validation error that names the field.

Ask Reelwire for the whole JSON Schema, the document this feed is checked against, without signing in:

curl "https://app.reelwire.io/v1/formats/feed/fd_bd7adf0f123a"

Which template draws a feed is Reelwire's decision and can change, so a producer asks by the feed, as above, rather than by its template.
