Steps

  1. Call POST https://livepeer.studio/api/stream with an API key in the Authorization header and a body containing at least a name field.
  2. Read streamKey and playbackId from the response — streamKey is the secret used to broadcast (RTMP or WebRTC WHIP), playbackId is the public identifier safe to give viewers.
  3. Broadcast via RTMP ingest, or via WebRTC WHIP for in-browser publishing, using the streamKey.
  4. For VOD, call POST /api/asset/request-upload with the asset name to get back a direct-upload url (PUT) and a tusEndpoint for resumable/chunked upload, plus an asset object (id, playbackId, status).
  5. Upload the file to either the direct url or the tus endpoint, then check the asset's status by id — processing is asynchronous, so the asset is not immediately playable right after upload.
