Hey! Here’s everything you need to know about the Livetran REST API. It’s designed to be simple and predictable. All endpoints are relative to your base URL and live under the /api/ prefix. Remember to include your LT-SIGNATURE header for POST requests!

​
POST /start-stream

This endpoint kicks off a new stream. You’ll need to provide a stream_id and optionally some webhook URLs to get status updates.

Example Request Body

{
  "stream_id": "your-unique-stream-id",
  "webhook_urls": [
    "https://your-server.com/livetran-updates"
  ]
}

​
POST /stop-stream

Use this to stop a stream that’s currently in progress. All you need is the stream_id.

Example Request Body

{
  "stream_id": "your-unique-stream-id"
}

​
GET /status

Want to check if a stream is live? Hit this endpoint with the stream_id.

Example Request Body

{
  "stream_id": "your-unique-stream-id"
}

​
GET /video/{stream_id}/{file}

This isn’t a typical REST endpoint, but it’s how you’ll get the actual video files. You can fetch the HLS playlist (.m3u8) and video segments (.ts) using this path. Example URL: /video/your-unique-stream-id/playlist.m3u8
