Welcome - Amazon IVS

Welcome

The Amazon Interactive Video Service (IVS) broadcast software integration API is intended for software developers who want to implement client support for multitrack video. The API is REST compatible, using a standard HTTP API. JSON is used for both requests and responses, including errors.

Key Concepts

  • Capabilities — Client characteristics such as hardware and software features.

  • Ingest endpoints — Endpoints for communicating with IVS using the RTMP protocol.

  • Limits — Limits imposed by client software or IVS; for example, maximum number of audio tracks.

  • Preferences — Preferences set by the user; for example, output resolution or frame rate.

  • Service — A video service or platform like IVS.
