Wowza live_streams API

Operations related to live streams. A live stream is a single, linear video broadcast. You broadcast a live stream by receiving encoded source video into the Wowza Video service and letting Wowza Video transcode the stream and deliver it to viewers. A live stream is essentially a one-stop method for creating a transcoder, output renditions, stream targets, and associated players.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Wowza live_streams API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
