How Do I Use It?

These guides are step-by-step API flows. Host is https://developer.dacast.com. Every call needs X-Api-Key and X-Format: default. JSON bodies also need Content-Type: application/json.

If you do not have a key yet, start with Obtain API Keys, then Make Your First API Call.

Guides

• VOD Upload - create a VOD, sign the upload, POST the file to storage
• Create Live Streams Channels - POST /v2/channel, then read encoder settings from config
• Embed codes - JavaScript or iframe snippet for a VOD, channel, or playlist
• Splash Screen/Thumbnail - set your own images on content that already exists
• Playlists - create a playlist and replace its content list

Also

• Common Issues - headers, ajax upload, playlist vs playlists, embed escaping, and other gotchas
