Hello Team,

Is there any way to call REST API of Wowza Streaming Engine Server inside a **Custom Module** generated by Eclipse? Is there any way to simulate REST API of REST API of Wowza Streaming Engine Server using libs related with the Wowza core? In other words, can I use java methods to create “_Applications_”, create “_Startup Streams_”, list “_Incoming Videos_”, etc? Because I want to create a new **Custom Module** where I would like to use REST API of Wowza Streaming Engine Server.

Regards

Wowza’s REST API is a regular API, so you can use it from any Java application, and thus from a wowza module as well. All you need to do is open a http connection from the module and send appropriate data (json is probably the best choice) and parameters.
