POST

/streams/scheduledplaylist/{streamid}/transcode

POST

Base URLstring

Target server for requests. Edit to use your own host.

API Key (header: X-API-Key)

X-API-Keystring

Required

API key (sent in header)

Stream ID

The media type of the request body

Options: application/json

vprofilesarray

Video transcoding profile IDs to apply, from the GET /streams/settings/profiles list. All selected profiles must share the same video codec (h264 or h265) — mixing codecs is rejected. In per-profile billing mode, a maximum of 5 profiles is allowed, further capped by the account's available SD/HD/UHD profile slots; per-minute billing mode has no profile-count limit. Send an empty array for no additional video transcoding.

aprofilesarray

Audio transcoding profile ID to apply, from the GET /streams/settings/profiles list. Single-select — send at most one profile ID in the array, or an empty array for no audio transcoding.

filtersarray

List of transcoding filter IDs to apply, from the GET /streams/settings/filters list.

ltcinteger

ID of the Live Transcoder Core (LTC) tier to allocate for this stream — for example 1 = LT1C @ $0.06/hr, up to 16 = LT16C @ $0.96/hr. The selectable range is further capped by the number of LTC cores currently available on the account; tiers above that count are out of stock and rejected.

Min: 1 • Max: 16

autostopinteger

Controls when the transcoder automatically stops after the source goes offline. -1 = Always Run (keeps running and is billed hourly until manually stopped); 0 or null = Stop After Event Ends (recommended default — stops at the end of the current event or billing hour); 1-48 = stop that many hours after the source goes offline (custom).

Min: -1 • Max: 48

Response will appear here after sending the request

Authentication

header

X-API-Keystring

Required

API Key for authentication. Provide your API key in the header.

Path Parameters

streamidstring

Required

Stream ID

Example:

1001

Body

application/json

vprofilesarray

Example:

["12345"]

aprofilesarray

Audio transcoding profile ID to apply, from the GET /streams/settings/profiles list. Single-select — send at most one profile ID in the array, or an empty array for no audio transcoding.

Example:

["12345"]

filtersarray

List of transcoding filter IDs to apply, from the GET /streams/settings/filters list.

Example:

[]

ltcinteger

Example:

5

autostopinteger

Example:

0

Responses

resultstring

Status of the API response.

messagestring

Human-readable message describing the result.

streamobject

Stream object containing configuration and status details.
