API Requests

So far I was able to get only MP4 and M4A files from my streams, but I also need all separate tracks for video and audio. Especially the MKVs (which I would prefer were MP4s out of the box, so that I would not have to convert them).

I want a webhook & API functions that can send live reports and other data in our restream account. This very helpful to manage our expectation and reporting for our bussiness growth.

Hey Team, A lot of people in the tech community host virtual conferences with multi tracks. It could be a user error, but appears the platform can only host one live event on YouTube at once. It would be nice to have unique APIs to multistream like what you can do with OBS.

I know this has been asked here as well, but I just wanted to detail what I've been working with using Claude Code and some of the things I've been able to do and what's still missing. It might be helpful to understand some of the key components that we need in order to make the scheduling workflow more effective for API developers. What works today for me via API: - Create an event with title and full description pre-filled - Event sits as an unscheduled draft ready for you to open in Restream What requires manual steps in Restream UI: - Setting the date and time (clicking Schedule on the draft) - Adding channel destinations (YouTube, LinkedIn, etc.) - Ticking "Create an event page on social platforms" What's missing from the Restream API: 1. Update endpoint — no way to edit an existing event (date, title, description) once created 2. Mainstream social channel destinations — event-destination-add only supports custom RTMP and niche platforms, not YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, or X 3. "Create event page on social platforms" flag — not exposed as an API parameter at all; only available during the UI scheduling flow 4. Thumbnail upload — no endpoint to attach a thumbnail to an event via API

For /events/new it would be amazing to have it return inviteLink as an attribute alongside id. Id is fine for anything API related, but as data it is pretty much useless at the moment. I can do all sorts of GET functions with it, for which I have no need in any automation I do. /events/{eventId}/destinations does not support the destinations I stream to, so also irrelevant. Furthermore, with the duplicate event feature I requested in another post, I would not have to use the event Id at all, because most things would come preconfigured in the duplicate.

This function already exists in the UI. As I run a live stream with repeatable elements, it would be amazing to instead of creating an event, duplicate a template event. This solves a lot of setup problems, especially if you have an event that is already preconfigured, with all the scenes, predefined backgrounds, etc. The request payload could be: title, string, optional; new title of the event description, string, optional; new description of the event If those values are not given, or no payload is given, the description is copied from the original event, and the event name is done exactly like in the UI function. The reponse payload could be: eventId, string inviteLink, string (link for guests joining the stream - for scheduling automation eventId is useless, because I cannot use it to invite anyone to studio. I need a studio invite link to put it into an email or calendar invite)

AS per https://developers.restream.io/events/event-destination-add - I still can't schedule a Restream streaming event that would automatically create scheduled events on LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook ( the only three I ever use). My ideal scheduling flow via API would be this: 1) I create a scheduled Restream event from a particular DRAFT / Template in Restream 2) I can also send the coverURL to the event (for the thumbnail) 2) That event automatically creates Li, YT, FB links to scheduled events with my full titles, descriptions (and also the shorter title+description for LinkedIn - I have it prepared in advance) 3) As soon as the links are created, I am able to pull those links into my app via API At the time of writing this, I've been able to automate the full creation of my live video podcast announcement - but copying and pasting to Restream is now a manual bottleneck. Thank you for letting us use the API so far; I'm looking forward to upgrades and improvements.
