Livepeer Studio is a hosted API platform for building **live streaming** and **video-on-demand** applications. It provides a REST API, TypeScript, Go, and Python SDKs, a React player and Broadcast component, and a dashboard for managing streams, assets, and billing.

Studio operates as a Gateway on the Livepeer Network, routing transcoding and delivery workloads to the decentralised Orchestrator pool.

<CustomDivider style={{margin: "-0.5rem 0 -2.5rem 0"}} />

## Key Features

* **Livestream** - Create streams, ingest via RTMP or WebRTC, play back with low-latency WebRTC or HLS, record sessions, and multistream to other platforms.
* **Video on demand** - Upload assets (TUS or PUT), transcode, and play back with the Livepeer Player or any HLS/MP4 player.
* **Access control** - Gate playback with webhooks or JWTs for subscriptions or token-gating.
* **Events and analytics** - Webhooks for stream and asset events, and a viewership API for engagement and performance metrics.
* **SDKs** - TypeScript, Go, and Python server SDKs, plus a React Player and Broadcast component.

## Get Started

Get started with Livepeer Studio by creating an account, an API key, and then using the SDK to play a video (e.g. An asset you uploaded in the dashboard).

<StyledSteps>
  <StyledStep title="Create an account and API key" icon="key">
    1. Go to [Livepeer Studio](https://livepeer.studio) and create an account.
    2. Open the **Developers** area and click **Create API Key**.
    3. Store the API key securely (e.g. In environment variables). Use it from your **backend** when calling the Livepeer Studio API.

    <Warning>
      **CORS-enabled API keys** are not recommended and will be deprecated. Make requests to the Livepeer Studio API from your backend and never expose your secret API key in the browser.
    </Warning>

    <Info>
      Use separate accounts or [projects](/solutions/livepeer-studio/docs/reference/managing-projects) for development and production to keep environments isolated.
    </Info>
  </StyledStep>

  <StyledStep title="Install the SDK" icon="download">
    This example uses the JavaScript SDK and the Livepeer React library:

    ```bash icon="terminal" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dark-plus"}}
    npm install livepeer @livepeer/react
    ```
  </StyledStep>

  <StyledStep title="Set up the client" icon="gear">
    Add your API key to environment variables, then create the Livepeer client (e.g. In a backend or server context):

    ```tsx icon="terminal" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dark-plus"}}
    import Livepeer from "livepeer";

    const livepeer = new Livepeer({
      apiKey: process.env.LIVEPEER_API_KEY,
    });
    ```
  </StyledStep>

  <StyledStep title="Get playback info" icon="circle-info">
    Use the client to fetch playback info for an asset (for example, one you uploaded in the dashboard). You need the asset’s **playback ID**:

    ```ts icon="terminal" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dark-plus"}}
    import { getSrc } from "@livepeer/react/external";

    const playbackId = "f5eese9wwl88k4g8"; // replace with your playback ID

    export async function getPlaybackSource() {
      const playbackInfo = await livepeer.playback.get(playbackId);
      return getSrc(playbackInfo.playbackInfo);
    }
    ```
  </StyledStep>

  <StyledStep title="Play the asset" icon="play">
    Use the Livepeer Player to play the video. Fetch the source on the server (e.g. In a React Server Component or API route), then pass it to the Player:

    ```tsx icon="terminal" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dark-plus"}}
    import { PauseIcon, PlayIcon } from "@livepeer/react/assets";
    import { getSrc } from "@livepeer/react/external";
    import * as Player from "@livepeer/react/player";

    export function DemoPlayer({ src }: { src: Src[] | null }) {
      return (
        <Player.Root src={src}>
          <Player.Container>
            <Player.Video title="Video" />
            <Player.Controls className="flex items-center justify-center">
              <Player.PlayPauseTrigger className="w-10 h-10">
                <Player.PlayingIndicator asChild matcher={false}>
                  <PlayIcon />
                </Player.PlayingIndicator>
                <Player.PlayingIndicator asChild>
                  <PauseIcon />
                </Player.PlayingIndicator>
              </Player.PlayPauseTrigger>
            </Player.Controls>
          </Player.Container>
        </Player.Root>
      );
    }
    ```
  </StyledStep>
