1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer instructions stored thereon that are capable of being executed by a computer system to cause operations comprising:
- storing a plurality of content delivery objects, each content delivery object including at least a respective identification of corresponding content and a location of the corresponding content, wherein the content delivery object allows one or more users to access the corresponding content;
storing respective metadata for at least one of the plurality of content delivery objects;
receiving a call, via an application external to the computer system, to an application programming interface (API) for access to a subset of the content delivery objects, wherein the call includes one or more parameters associated with the subset;
performing a query of the respective metadata using the parameters included in the call by searching for the subset of the content delivery objects that meet the parameters included in the call;
generating a report that includes a viewable list of the subset of the content delivery objects that include metadata that corresponds to the parameters included in the call; and
sending the report to the external application.

8. A method, comprising:
-
storing, by a database system, a plurality of content delivery objects, each content delivery object including at least a respective identification of corresponding content and a location of the corresponding content, wherein the content delivery object allows one or more users to access the corresponding content; storing, by the database system, respective metadata for at least one of the plurality of content delivery objects; receiving, by the database system from an application external to the database system, a call to an application programming interface (API) for access to a subset of the content delivery objects, wherein the call includes one or more parameters associated with the subset; performing, by the database system, a query of the respective metadata using the parameters included in the call by searching for the subset of the content delivery objects that satisfy filtering criteria included in at least one of the parameters included in the call; generating, by the database system, a report that includes a viewable list of the subset of the content delivery objects that include metadata that corresponds to the parameters included in the call; and sending the report to the external application. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method, comprising:
-
storing, by a database system, a plurality of content delivery objects, each content delivery object including at least a respective identification of corresponding content and a location of the corresponding content, wherein the content delivery object allows one or more users to access the corresponding content; storing, by the database system, a value for respective fields for one or more of the plurality of content delivery objects; receiving, by the database system from a first application external to the database system, a call to an application programming interface (API) for access to a subset of the content delivery objects, wherein the call includes one or more parameters associated with the subset; performing, by the database system, a query of the respective fields using the parameters included in the call, at least one of the parameters including filtering criteria for selecting the subset of the content delivery objects; and generating, by the database system, a report that includes a viewable list of the subset of the content delivery objects that include values for the respective fields that corresponds to the parameters included in the call. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
