Retrieve HLS stream URL by video_key

I want my editors to upload videos to JW Platform. In the CMS for our web, iOS and Android app editors can specify videos from JW platform and other sources, to be displayed in all front-ends. So after editors have uploaded video to JW Platform they can easily grab the video key. That can be used to retrieve information about the video via the platform API (https://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/questions/14609098-jw-platform-support-for-hls-dash-). Can the .m3u8 HLS streaming URL be retrieved via the platform API?
I cannot imagine having to instruct my editors to follow these instructions (which actually work) to achieve our goal: https://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/questions/14609098-jw-platform-support-for-hls-dash-

Hello,

All playable sources including HLS and other information like metadata and thumbstrip tracks are available from the content server //content.jwplatform.com/feeds/<video_key>.json endpoint. Your site or application can use some or all of that information to build any embed you would like. For the easiest embed option, I would recommend our single-line embeds, they automatically include all information and editors would only have to know the video key and player key that they want to embed with. //content.jwplatform.com/players/<video_key>-<player_key>.js

Please let us know if this addresses your need; and, if it doesn’t, where it falls short,

Thank you, //content.jwplatform.com/feeds/<video_key>.json is what I would need then. I cannot rely on embedding because I am using the mobile sdk as well.
