    <format>
        <output>[OutputFormat]</output> <!-- required-->
        <nielsen_file_destination>[DestinationURL]</nielsen_file_destination>
        <!-- format params -->
    </format>
</query>

{
    "query": {
        "userid": "<<id>>", // required
        "userkey": "<<key>>", // required
        "action": "[Action]", // required

        "format": {
            "output": "[OutputFormat]", // required
            "nielsen_file_destination": "[DestinationURL]"
            // format params
        }
    }
}

Parameter	Description	Allowed Values	Default Values
nielsen_file_destination	Destination for Nielsen zip file with encode result metadata, decode output, signature, encode status, additional media metadata.	Valid Destination URL It may contain such placeholders: <SID>, <StartTIC>, <TS> If destination file name isn't specified, we will use this pattern: <SID>_<StartTIC>_<TS>.zip	none

Scaling Parameters
