I’m working with the Wowza cloud API. My workflow needs to have the wowza streams started and start pushing video then, just after the streams become avilable. I’m calling to:

[https://api.cloud.wowza.com/api/v1/live\_streams/1234abcd/start/](https://api.cloud.wowza.com/api/v1/live_streams/1234abcd/start/)

Then checking that the stream is started by waiting to the “started” response from:

[https://api.cloud.wowza.com/api/v1/live\_streams/1234abcd/state/](https://api.cloud.wowza.com/api/v1/live_streams/1234abcd/state/)

However, if I push the rtmp after getting the latest response, it happens that sometimes the RTMP session can’t be established. It works if I retry after a few more seconds but it looks like the API calls doesn’t allow to synchronize the flow based on the streams state. Need a way to synchronize the video pushing after the stream startup.
