SaaS-based podcast and streaming solutions innovator StreamGuys announced a comprehensive new Application Programming Interface (API) for the company’s SGrecast live stream repurposing and podcast management system. The new API gives developers programmatic access to SGrecast’s extensive stream recording, content publishing, media player creation and rebroadcasting functionality, thus enabling broadcasters and content providers to seamlessly integrate StreamGuys’ services into their existing enterprise systems.

 

StreamGuys will highlight the integration possibilities enabled by the new API at the upcoming IBC2019 exhibition, taking place September 13-17 in Amsterdam. StreamGuys will co-exhibit with technology partner ENCO in stand 8.A59 at the event.

 

The comprehensive, cloud-based SGrecast platform lets broadcasters record, repurpose, replay and rewind their live streams to improve audience experiences and effortlessly create revenue-expanding side channels and podcasts. The new API enables clients to programmatically manage recordings; create new content in the system via uploads; edit content and metadata; list and view all content in the system; generate embeddable content players; request content-related information such as metadata and delivery URLs; and much more.

 

As a RESTful API with OAuth 2.0 authentication, the SGrecast API is standards-based and aligns perfectly with enterprise customers’ development expectations. StreamGuys will also introduce new APIs for its analytics and monitoring tools in the coming months, including the SGmon real-time listener and bandwidth metrics service and the SGreports logging and analysis service. Longer-term, APIs for additional solutions in StreamGuys’ end-to-end SaaS suite for producing, managing, monetizing, and delivering live and on-demand streaming media will be introduced based on customer demand.
