introduction
Introduction
The Amazon Interactive Video Service (IVS) API is REST compatible, using a standard HTTP API and an Amazon Web Services EventBridge event stream for responses.
JSON is used for both requests and responses, including errors.
The API is an Amazon Web Services regional service. For a list of supported regions and Amazon IVS HTTPS service endpoints, see the Amazon IVS page in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.
- All API request parameters and URLs are case sensitive. *
For a summary of notable documentation changes in each release, see Document History.

resources
Resources
The following resources contain information about your IVS live stream (see Getting Started with Amazon IVS):
Channel — Stores configuration data related to your live stream. You first create a channel and then use the channel’s stream key to start your live stream. See the Channel endpoints for more information.
Stream key — An identifier assigned by Amazon IVS when you create a channel, which is then used to authorize streaming. See the StreamKey endpoints for more information. Treat the stream key like a secret, since it allows anyone to stream to the channel.
Playback key pair — Video playback may be restricted using playback-authorization tokens, which use public-key encryption. A playback key pair is the public-private pair of keys used to sign and validate the playback-authorization token. See the PlaybackKeyPair endpoints for more information.
Recording configuration — Stores configuration related to recording a live stream and where to store the recorded content. Multiple channels can reference the same recording configuration. See the Recording Configuration endpoints for more information.
tagging
Tagging
A tag is a metadata label that you assign to an Amazon Web Services resource.
A tag comprises a key and a value, both set by you. For example, you might
set a tag as topic:nature
to label a particular video category. See Tagging Amazon Web Services
Resources for
more information, including restrictions that apply to tags and "Tag naming
limits and requirements"; Amazon IVS has no service-specific constraints beyond
what is documented there.
Tags can help you identify and organize your Amazon Web Services resources. For example, you can use the same tag for different resources to indicate that they are related. You can also use tags to manage access (see Access Tags).
The Amazon IVS API has these tag-related endpoints: TagResource
,
UntagResource
, and ListTagsForResource
. The following resources support
tagging: Channels, Stream Keys, Playback Key Pairs, and Recording
Configurations.
At most 50 tags can be applied to a resource.
authentication-versus-authorization
Authentication versus Authorization
Note the differences between these concepts:
Authentication is about verifying identity. You need to be authenticated to sign Amazon IVS API requests.
Authorization is about granting permissions. Your IAM roles need to have permissions for Amazon IVS API requests. In addition, authorization is needed to view Amazon IVS private channels. (Private channels are channels that are enabled for "playback authorization.")
authentication
Authentication
All Amazon IVS API requests must be authenticated with a signature. The Amazon Web Services Command-Line Interface (CLI) and Amazon IVS Player SDKs take care of signing the underlying API calls for you. However, if your application calls the Amazon IVS API directly, it’s your responsibility to sign the requests.
You generate a signature using valid Amazon Web Services credentials that have
permission to perform the requested action. For example, you must sign
PutMetadata requests with a signature generated from a user account that has the
ivs:PutMetadata
permission.
For more information:
Authentication and generating signatures — See Authenticating Requests (Amazon Web Services Signature Version 4) in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.
Managing Amazon IVS permissions — See Identity and Access Management on the Security page of the Amazon IVS User Guide.
amazon-resource-names-arns
Amazon Resource Names (ARNs)
ARNs uniquely identify AWS resources. An ARN is required when you need to specify a resource unambiguously across all of AWS, such as in IAM policies and API calls. For more information, see Amazon Resource Names in the AWS General Reference.

Performs GetChannel
on multiple ARNs simultaneously.
Performs GetStreamKey
on multiple ARNs simultaneously.
Creates a new channel and an associated stream key to start streaming.
Creates a new recording configuration, used to enable recording to Amazon S3.
Known issue: In the us-east-1 region, if you use the Amazon Web Services CLI
to create a recording configuration, it returns success even if the S3 bucket is
in a different region. In this case, the state
of the recording configuration
is CREATE_FAILED
(instead of ACTIVE
). (In other regions, the CLI correctly
returns failure if the bucket is in a different region.)
Workaround: Ensure that your S3 bucket is in the same region as the recording configuration. If you create a recording configuration in a different region as your S3 bucket, delete that recording configuration and create a new one with an S3 bucket from the correct region.
Creates a stream key, used to initiate a stream, for the specified channel ARN.
Note that CreateChannel
creates a stream key. If you subsequently use
CreateStreamKey on the same channel, it will fail because a stream key already
exists and there is a limit of 1 stream key per channel. To reset the stream key
on a channel, use DeleteStreamKey
and then CreateStreamKey.
Deletes the specified channel and its associated stream keys.
If you try to delete a live channel, you will get an error (409
ConflictException). To delete a channel that is live, call StopStream
, wait
for the Amazon EventBridge "Stream End" event (to verify that the stream's state
is no longer Live), then call DeleteChannel. (See Using EventBridge with Amazon IVS.)
Deletes a specified authorization key pair.
This invalidates future viewer tokens generated using the key pair’s
privateKey
. For more information, see Setting Up Private Channels
in the Amazon IVS User Guide.
Deletes the recording configuration for the specified ARN.
If you try to delete a recording configuration that is associated with a
channel, you will get an error (409 ConflictException). To avoid this, for all
channels that reference the recording configuration, first use UpdateChannel
to set the recordingConfigurationArn
field to an empty string, then use
DeleteRecordingConfiguration.
Deletes the stream key for the specified ARN, so it can no longer be used to stream.
Gets the channel configuration for the specified channel ARN.

Inserts metadata into the active stream of the specified channel.
At most 5 requests per second per channel are allowed, each with a maximum 1 KB payload. (If 5 TPS is not sufficient for your needs, we recommend batching your data into a single PutMetadata call.) At most 155 requests per second per account are allowed. Also see Embedding Metadata within a Video Stream in the Amazon IVS User Guide.
Disconnects the incoming RTMPS stream for the specified channel.
Can be used in conjunction with DeleteStreamKey
to prevent further streaming
to a channel.
Many streaming client-software libraries automatically reconnect a dropped RTMPS
session, so to stop the stream permanently, you may want to first revoke the
streamKey
attached to the channel.
Adds or updates tags for the Amazon Web Services resource with the specified ARN.
Removes tags from the resource with the specified ARN.
Updates a channel's configuration.
This does not affect an ongoing stream of this channel. You must stop and restart the stream for the changes to take effect.
