The MetaService exposes 2 methods that you can use to find webcasts and retrieve their metadata.
You'll need to explain to the MetaService which data you're after, and below is the list of input parameters that you can do that with.
Typically a client would call WebcastSearch to retrieve WebcastSummaries, which give some basic info about the webcasts that match the search parameters. A client would then use elements from a WebcastSummary as input parameters for a call to WebcastGet. WebcastGet returns a Webcast object, which contains detailed information about a single webcast, in a single language.
