Instead of restarting the application, I need the reset stream’s operation API

**And I need to get the rest API for stream status like active or wating for stream and reset stream**

Try this to restart just the stream (I have **streamName** as example of what I called the stream).
curl -X PUT --header ‘Accept:application/json; charset=utf-8’ [http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/streamName/actions/restart](http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/globo-drm/actions/restart)
Using the REST API, you should be able to get the status of a stream using the following endpoint:
### `[/v2/servers/{serverName}/vhosts/{vhostName}/applications/{appName}/instances/{instanceName}/incomingstreams/{streamName}](http://mediastreamtech.com/rest/#!/applications/getIncomingStreamConfig)`
In order to access the REST API documentation, where all the available REST API endpoints are described, you can follow this article:

Instead of restarting the application, it’s a reset stream operation

If we use the name **testlive** as an example of an application name, you can restart a single application like this:
```auto
curl -X PUT \
-H 'Accept:application/json; charset=utf-8' \
http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/testlive/actions/restart
```
