Cloud Slicer Live API

Use the Cloud Slicer Live (CSL) API, which is a versioned API, to perform the following tasks:

Category Description

Cloud Slicer Live Management

Manage your CSL slicers.

Tasks

Retrieve information about Cloud Slicer Live management tasks.

Ingest Points

Manage the ingest points to which an encoder must push a video feed.

Reference

Retrieve information that you may use when setting up a CSL slicer.

Monitoring

Retrieve information about the health of the link between the encoder and the CSL slicer.

Get Link Health

GET /managed-slicer/slicer/monitor/Slicer ID

The Cloud Slicer Live API uses our standard API authentication.

Workflow

Use the following workflow to use a CSL slicer to publish a stream:

  1. Identify the slicer version, protocol, and region where your CSL slicer will be created.

  2. Create an ingest point through the Create Ingest Point endpoint.
  3. Create a CSL slicer through the Create CSL Slicer endpoint using the information from step 1 and the ingest point created in step 2.
  4. Find out the CSL slicer's current status through the Get CSL Slicer endpoint. Wait until the CSL slicer's status is RUNNING.

  5. Add the CSL slicer to the desired live channel, live event, or failover group.
  6. From your encoder, push a video feed to the ingest point created in step 1.
  7. Point your player to your live channel or live event's playback URL.

Cloud Slicer Live Management

Manage your CSL slicers.

Tasks

A task is created whenever you create, update, or delete a CSL slicer or ingest point.

Ingest Points

An ingest point establishes a URL to which an encoder may push a video feed. Upon associating an ingest point with a CSL slicer, it will publish a stream based off of that feed.

Reference

Retrieve supplemental data that is useful when administering CSL slicers.

Monitoring

Retrieve information about the health of the link between the encoder and the CSL slicer.

Task States

A task tracks the progress for the creation, modification, or deletion of a CSL slicer or ingest point. Core task states are described below.
