Overview

Use the Media Services API to access various media-related services without the need for an interface.

Media Services Stream Packaging combines the best features of both Adobe® Flash® Platform, Live (HD Flash 1.0) and Media Services Live (HLS), allowing for an RTMP ingress stream and egress streams in either Adobe® HDS output, Apple® HLS output, or HD Flash 1.0 output.

Media Services: HLS Ingest allows you to stream live media to appropriate devices running iOS version 3.0 or higher.

Purge HD content lets you refresh specific cached objects or remove all objects by URLs, ARLs, or content provider codes (CP codes) across the Akamai edge network. You can use this when you need to correct mistakes in your published content or when you want to upload content under the same filename.

Who should use this API

Developers and architects can use this API to access and provision media streaming using customized interfaces.

Getting started

To configure the Media Services API for the first time:

• Review Get Started with APIs for details on how to set up client tokens to access any Akamai API. These tokens appear as custom hostnames that look like this: https://akzz-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.luna.akamaiapis.net.

• To enable this API, choose the API service named Media Services, and set the access level to READ-WRITE.

• If you need help, provide feedback to the Akamai developer community, or contact your Akamai representative for support.

Note the following:

• Currently, the API supports only Akamai HD for the Adobe® HTTP Dynamic Streaming and Apple® HTTP Live Streaming.

• The API mirrors the functionality available in Akamai Control Center.

• The event functionality works only for the stream packaging streams. It does not work for HLS ingest streams.

Dual data formats

Media Services Live Stream Packaging and HLS/HDS/DASH ingest APIs support only XML. However, MSL RTMP Streaming supports JSON.

Create a domain

Creates a new configuration with the assigned domain, initialized at version 1. Domains are either based on a Stream Packaging configuration or an HLS, HDS, and DASH Ingest configuration. See the Domain object for details on each type.

Before you can create new Stream Packaging streams, you must create at least one Stream Packaging configuration to establish parameters for packaged streams, such as the CP code and hostname. NetStorage is used with Media Services Live as your stream archive’s storage location. Therefore, you must have a NetStorage CP code set up and dedicated for use with Media Services Live, or you will be unable to create configurations. You can create as many configurations as you have CP codes available, depending on how you would like to have your streams being reported on and billed.

CPCode

CP code resources enable you to specify the Content Provider code associated with the stream. A Content Provider code is necessary to track all web traffic handled by Akamai servers. It is supplied to you when you purchase a product, and you need it to activate any associated properties. You can generate additional CP codes, typically to implement more detailed billing and reporting functions and assign to custom properties.

Sample CP code configuration:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

JSON Data

This section provides details on the JSON-based data types the API’s RTMP operations exchange. See XML Data for information on the XML-based data the API’s other operations exchange.

Download the JSON schemas for this API.

The data schema tables below list membership requirements as follows:

Configuration

Before you can create new streams, you must create at least one RTMP configuration to establish parameters for RTMP streams, such as the CP code and hostname. NetStorage is used with Media Services Live as your stream archive’s storage location. Therefore, you must have a NetStorage CP code set up and dedicated for use with Media Services Live, or you will be unable to create configurations. You can create as many configurations as you have CP codes available, depending on how you would like to have your streams reported and billed.
