Get Stream Stats

How to get stream online status, duration, bitrate, codec and more

Overview

The stream statistic can help you monitor if there's any anomaly during the streaming session and troubleshoot the problems that occurred. LiveAPI provides the GET /v2/live_streams/{id}/stats endpoint to help you easily grab the stream's stats in real-time.

No stats returned when stream offline

You should only call the endpoint when your stream's status is online, otherwise, it'll return an error.

Sample response when getting the stats of an offline stream:

{
    "statusCode": 404,
    "error": "Not Found",
    "message": "Stream not found in upstreams."
}
