Don't reinvent the wheel.
We invented cloud-native live streaming production and our global architecture has been honed with the world’s largest partners.
Leverage our expertise so you can focus on your customers, product, and growth.
API.stream is...
API.stream is a well-honed, complicated, global live video architecture made easy to use through 3 main interfaces:
Live API, Layout API, and Studio Kit.
01
Live API
Video ingest, routing, compositing, and streaming out is all handled via the Live API. It handles thousands of streams a day and millions a year. Throw anything you need at it.
02
Layout API
Design and produce custom layouts and scenes blending motion graphics, web-based animations, and any kind of video.
03
Live API
Studio Kit is a language agnostic set of UI components, guides, animation libraries, and more. Lay your design language on our framework to build a custom studio with only the features your creators need.
AKA Build your own white-labeled Lightstream Studio or Streamyard in days.
Discover our developer resources
API.stream is built by the same engineering team that invented and patented cloud-native browser-controlled live streaming. We aspire to provide the developer experience we have wanted throughout our careers.
Build your ideal workflow
Send video sources via multiple protocols from any geography.
The API.stream global ingest network is ready to receive and route to one or multiple compositing engines.
The API.stream proprietary livestreaming engines receive layout instructions from your users or follow your programmatic automation.
The output is encoded and delivered via webRTC, RTMP, RTMPS, or SRT.
Deliver to one or multiple destinations based on your requirements.
Endless possibilities & usecases
Use Studio Kit to build a live-streaming studio right into your platform. Empower your users to easily go live more often without 3rd-party tools.
Mixing remote video sources or multiple formats (WebRTC, RTMP, etc)? Want to avoid on-prem switching? Utilizing data sources to switch cameras? Our APIs make production infinitely flexible.
Add a custom graphics package to every stream from your users. Check out what we did with Happs to learn more!
Use our API to send one production to multiple destinations. Or go beyond and send custom versions to each destination with added promo graphics or alternate languages.
