REST API (Beta)
Overview
The REST APIs provided by OME allow you to query or change settings such as VirtualHost and Application/Stream.
The APIs are currently beta version, so there are some limitations/considerations.
- Settings of VirtualHost can only be viewed and cannot be changed or deleted.
- If you add/change/delete the settings of the App/Output Profile by invoking the API, the app will be restarted. This means that all sessions associated with the app will be disconnected.
- The API version is fixed with v1 until the experimental stage is complete, and the detailed specification can be changed at any time.
By default, OvenMediaEngine's APIs are disabled, so the following settings are required to use the API:
Setting up for using the APIs
Port
Set the
<Port> to use by the API server. If you omit <Port>, you will use the API server's default port, port 8081.

Host and Permissions
<Host> sets the Host name and TLS certificate information to be used by the API server, and <AccessToken> sets the token to be used for authentication when calling the APIs. You must use this token to invoke the API of OvenMediaEngine.1

<VERSION>/<API_PATH>
<OME_HOST>
This means the IP or domain of the server on which your OME is running.
<API_PORT>
This means the port number of the API you set up in
Server.xml. The default value is 8081.<VERSION>
Indicates the version of the API. Currently, all APIs are v1.
<API_PATH>
