We have a wordpress website for streaming community channels and need a way to account for stream usage for billing, I am thinking this is an Wowza API function so we may need a dev. Please advise. We need stream name / time / bandwidth used / duration.

Hi @harry grothjahn, for live stats, you can use the Wowza REST API. For history, you’ll have to parse the Wowza logs, or use your own log4j implementation, or develop a custom module that dumps the data to any other storage.

Email me to discuss further.

Sincerely,

Karel Boek

YES, we agree and that is why We need help developing that custom module which would report back to our word press admin console.
