This section describes the conceptual objects you deal with when interacting with this API, and provides pointers to where you can learn more.
-
Stream. A URL for a live streaming event. You can create a stream, get a list of streams, retrieve stream details, and edit or delete a stream. See the Stream object type for details.
-
Origin. The source location for your live streaming media. You can directly push
content from encoders into the origin through the Akamai ingest server, then pull the content through a CDN. See the Origin object type for details. -
Contract. Contains information about MSL contracts for your account. See the Contract object type for details.
-
CDN providers. Returns a list of CDN providers. See the CDN object type for details.
-
CP codes. Displays the CP codes tied to the MSL contract. A CP code is a unique identifier for reporting, billing, and monitoring traffic served over the Akamai network. See the Cp codes object type for details.
-
Keys. Shared keys with partners enable authentication between
the Origin Shield and the Adaptive Media Delivery (AMD) configuration. See Generate a key for details. -
Authentication. If you enable HTTP digest authentication for your stream, you can update the
usernameandpasswordcombinations to prevent unauthorized access to your streaming media content. You're limited to two authentication keys for a given stream, only one of which will be active. Before deleting a previous authentication set, ensure that you update your encoder to avoid inadvertently making your stream inaccessible. See Rotate HTTP digest authentication settings for details.
