API Reference / Authentication

Authentication

The Livepeer.com API uses API keys to authenticate most requests, including all requests associated with creating and retrieving a stream or session object.

The Livepeer.com API uses Bearer authentication. You or the client must send an API key in the Authorization header when making requests to protected information:

Authorization: Bearer <api-key>

All API requests must be made over HTTPS. API requests without proper authentication will fail.
