stream.details
Stream details returns a list of information regarding an active stream. Details include: stream name,
whether the stream is being recording, encoder connect and publish times, audio and video codec, transcoder
data, pushpublish sessions, and other metadata that has been sent to the stream.
Example Code (PHP)
$request = array(
'command' => 'stream.details',
'api_key' => 'APX4GKLM0RKQLSP2FBO1ROPKSSW47DZE',
'timestamp' => time(),
'cdn' => 158,
'app' => 'demo-origin',
'inst' => 'live',
'stream' => 'my_live_stream',
'origin_url' => 'jb-origin.secdn.net', // optional
);
//Create request signature
$json_request = json_encode($request);
$sig = base64_encode(hash_hmac('sha256', $json_request,
'8fc8c48da81e6a2a06a9556379bf798af508dc0792497c678b4c3532ba8b637f', true));
$request['signature'] = $sig;
$json_request = json_encode($request);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://api.scaleengine.net/stable/'); // Set the URL
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true); // Perform a POST
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); // If not set, curl prints output to the browser
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false); // If set, curl returns headers as part of the data stream
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array('json' => $json_request)); //'Json' string or 'PHP' serialized return
//If your PHP host does not have a proper SSL certificate bundle, you will need to turn off SSL Certificate Verification
//This is dangerous, and should only be done temporarily until a proper certificate bundle can be installed
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false); // Turns off verification of the SSL certificate.
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); // Turns off verification of the SSL certificate.
$response = curl_exec($ch); //Execute the API Call
if (!$response) {
die('Failed to connect to ScaleEngine API');
}
//Decode the response as an associative array
$arrResponse = json_decode($response, true);
if ($arrResponse) {
//Operation completed successfully
//TODO Add work here
print_r($arrResponse);
} else {
//Operation failed
echo 'An error occured processing your request:';
print_r($response);
