The Wowza Streaming Cloud REST API (application programming interface) uses the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to request data from Wowza Streaming Cloud servers through requests to API endpoints. You can use the Wowza Streaming Cloud REST API to add live streaming and playback functionality to your applications.
The REST API offers complete programmatic control over live streams, transcoders, stream sources, and stream targets. Anything you can do in the Wowza Streaming Cloud UI can also be achieved by making HTTP-based requests to cloud-based servers through the REST API.
