LiveAPI

Skip the guesswork and get your broadcast online in minutes. With LiveAPI you choose how to send video: push from OBS or your hardware encoder using the provided key, or drop a file to publish on-demand or run as a scheduled premiere. From the dashboard, create a stream input, set a title, pick latency and DVR options, then start when you’re ready. Prefer code? Call the REST endpoint to spin up an input, return credentials, and begin ingestion from your server. While you focus on content, LiveAPI handles transcoding into adaptive renditions, records the session, and keeps assets in secured storage.

To place video on your website, grab the embed snippet and add it to any CMS or page builder. The player adapts to screens automatically and supports captions, thumbnails, and chapter markers. For apps, initialize the iOS or Android SDK to render the same stream with tokenized URLs and offline config. Gate viewing with signed links, single-use tickets, or SSO; add geo or referrer rules if needed. Non-technical teams can still manage everything with presets for privacy, player style, and playback behavior, so creators can launch content without waiting on engineering.

Reach audiences where they already watch by enabling simulcast. Connect your YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch accounts once, then toggle destinations per event; LiveAPI fans out the feed while keeping your origin stable. Schedule events with a start time and a poster frame, or trigger ad breaks and slates via API. Use webhooks to post “go-live” alerts to Slack, create entries in your CMS, sync program guides, or kick off captioning jobs. After the show, clip highlights in the browser or by submitting timestamps in code, publish reels to social, and archive the full recording for replays.

Quality and delivery are automatic. Viewers get the best rendition their network can handle, up to high-definition, with fast start and instant seek. Real-time analytics show concurrent viewers, watch time, locations, device mix, and errors so you can react during a broadcast. Storage policies let you archive raw inputs, manage versions, and purge when retention ends. A global delivery network, resilient ingest, and instant failover keep streams steady. Whether you’re shipping a tutorial, an esports final, a town hall, or a product reveal, the workflow stays the same: set up the input, stream or upload, embed, publish, and review the results.
