Use the Video Live Streaming API to create and manage your RTMP live streams. This includes managing outputs as well as manually starting and stopping streams. See the live streaming guide for information on how to use the Live Streaming API to stream video to your users.
Note: The Live Streaming API is currently in development and is available as a Public Beta, which means we value your feedback, so please feel free to share any thoughts with us.
The API supports Basic Authentication using your Cloudinary API Key and API Secret (which can be found on the Dashboard page of your Cloudinary Console).
