Overview
Constructs a service interface object. Each API operation is exposed as a function on service.
Service Description
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.
<p> <b>Allowed Header Values</b> </p> <ul> <li> <p> <code> <b>Accept:</b> </code> application/json</p> </li> <li> <p> <code> <b>Accept-Encoding:</b> </code> gzip, deflate</p> </li> <li> <p> <code> <b>Content-Type:</b> </code>application/json</p> </li> </ul> <p> <b>Resources</b> </p> <p>The following resources contain information about your IVS live stream (see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ivs/latest/userguide/getting-started.html"> Getting Started with Amazon IVS</a>):</p> <ul> <li> <p>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. </p> </li> <li> <p>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. <i> <b>Treat the stream key like a secret, since it allows anyone to stream to the channel.</b> </i> </p> </li> <li> <p>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.</p> </li> <li> <p>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.</p> </li> </ul> <p> <b>Tagging</b> </p> <p>A <i>tag</i> is a metadata label that you assign to an Amazon Web Services resource. A tag comprises a <i>key</i> and a <i>value</i>, both set by you. For example, you might set a tag as <code>topic:nature</code> to label a particular video category. See <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws_tagging.html">Tagging Amazon Web Services Resources</a> for more information, including restrictions that apply to tags.</p> <p>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 <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_tags.html"> Access Tags</a>). </p> <p>The Amazon IVS API has these tag-related endpoints: <a>TagResource</a>, <a>UntagResource</a>, and <a>ListTagsForResource</a>. The following resources support tagging: Channels, Stream Keys, Playback Key Pairs, and Recording Configurations.</p> <p>At most 50 tags can be applied to a resource. </p> <p> <b>Authentication versus Authorization</b> </p> <p>Note the differences between these concepts:</p> <ul> <li> <p> <i>Authentication</i> is about verifying identity. You need to be authenticated to sign Amazon IVS API requests.</p> </li> <li> <p> <i>Authorization</i> is about granting permissions. You need to be authorized to view <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ivs/latest/userguide/private-channels.html">Amazon IVS private channels</a>. (Private channels are channels that are enabled for "playback authorization.")</p> </li> </ul> <p> <b>Authentication</b> </p> <p>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.</p> <p>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 an IAM user account that has the <code>ivs:PutMetadata</code> permission.</p> <p>For more information:</p> <ul> <li> <p>Authentication and generating signatures — See <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/sig-v4-authenticating-requests.html">Authenticating Requests (Amazon Web Services Signature Version 4)</a> in the <i>Amazon Web Services General Reference</i>.</p> </li> <li> <p>Managing Amazon IVS permissions — See <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ivs/latest/userguide/security-iam.html">Identity and Access Management</a> on the Security page of the <i>Amazon IVS User Guide</i>.</p> </li> </ul> <p> <b>Channel Endpoints</b> </p> <ul> <li> <p> <a>CreateChannel</a> — Creates a new channel and an associated stream key to start streaming.</p> </li> <li> <p> <a>GetChannel</a> — Gets the channel configuration for the specified channel ARN (Amazon Resource Name).</p> </li> <li> <p> <a>BatchGetChannel</a> — Performs <a>GetChannel</a> on multiple ARNs simultaneously.</p> </li> <li> <p> <a>ListChannels</a> — Gets summary information about all channels in your account, in the Amazon Web Services region where the API request is processed. This list can be filtered to match a specified name or recording-configuration ARN. Filters are mutually exclusive and cannot be used together. If you try to use both filters, you will get an error (409 Conflict Exception).</p> </li> <li> <p> <a>UpdateChannel</a> — 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.</p> </li> <li> <p> <a>DeleteChannel</a> — Deletes the specified channel.</p> </li> </ul> <p> <b>StreamKey Endpoints</b> </p> <ul> <li> <p> <a>CreateStreamKey</a> — Creates a stream key, used to initiate a stream, for the specified channel ARN.</p> </li> <li> <p> <a>GetStreamKey</a> — Gets stream key information for the specified ARN.</p> </li> <li> <p> <a>BatchGetStreamKey</a> — Performs <a>GetStreamKey</a> on multiple ARNs simultaneously.</p> </li> <li> <p> <a>ListStreamKeys</a> — Gets summary information about stream keys for the specified channel.</p> </li> <li> <p> <a>DeleteStreamKey</a> — Deletes the stream key for the specified ARN, so it can no longer be used to stream.</p> </li> </ul> <p> <b>Stream Endpoints</b> </p> <ul> <li> <p> <a>GetStream</a> — Gets information about the active (live) stream on a specified channel.</p> </li> <li> <p> <a>ListStreams</a> — Gets summary information about live streams in your account, in the Amazon Web Services region where the API request is processed.</p> </li> <li> <p> <a>StopStream</a> — Disconnects the incoming RTMPS stream for the specified channel.

Sending a Request Using IVS
var ivs = new AWS.IVS();
ivs.batchGetChannel(params, function (err, data) {
if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
else console.log(data); // successful response
});
Locking the API Version
In order to ensure that the IVS object uses this specific API, you can
construct the object by passing the apiVersion
option to the constructor:
var ivs = new AWS.IVS({apiVersion: '2020-07-14'});
You can also set the API version globally in AWS.config.apiVersions
using
the ivs service identifier:
AWS.config.apiVersions = {
ivs: '2020-07-14',
// other service API versions
};
var ivs = new AWS.IVS();

Property Details
Method Details
batchGetChannel(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Performs GetChannel on multiple ARNs simultaneously.
batchGetStreamKey(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Performs GetStreamKey on multiple ARNs simultaneously.
createChannel(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Creates a new channel and an associated stream key to start streaming.
createRecordingConfiguration(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
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.
createStreamKey(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
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.
deleteChannel(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
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 was changed from Live to Offline), then call DeleteChannel. (See Using EventBridge with Amazon IVS.)
deletePlaybackKeyPair(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
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.
deleteRecordingConfiguration(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
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.
deleteStreamKey(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Deletes the stream key for the specified ARN, so it can no longer be used to stream.
getChannel(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Gets the channel configuration for the specified channel ARN. See also BatchGetChannel.
getPlaybackKeyPair(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Gets a specified playback authorization key pair and returns the arn
and fingerprint
. The privateKey
held by the caller can be used to generate viewer authorization tokens, to grant viewers access to private channels. For more information, see Setting Up Private Channels in the Amazon IVS User Guide.
getRecordingConfiguration(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Gets the recording configuration for the specified ARN.
getStream(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Gets information about the active (live) stream on a specified channel.
importPlaybackKeyPair(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Imports the public portion of a new key pair and returns its arn
and fingerprint
. The privateKey
can then be used to generate viewer authorization tokens, to grant viewers access to private channels. For more information, see Setting Up Private Channels in the Amazon IVS User Guide.
listChannels(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Gets summary information about all channels in your account, in the Amazon Web Services region where the API request is processed. This list can be filtered to match a specified name or recording-configuration ARN. Filters are mutually exclusive and cannot be used together. If you try to use both filters, you will get an error (409 ConflictException).
listPlaybackKeyPairs(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Gets summary information about playback key pairs. For more information, see Setting Up Private Channels in the Amazon IVS User Guide.
listRecordingConfigurations(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Gets summary information about all recording configurations in your account, in the Amazon Web Services region where the API request is processed.
listStreamKeys(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Gets summary information about stream keys for the specified channel.
listStreams(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Gets summary information about live streams in your account, in the Amazon Web Services region where the API request is processed.
listTagsForResource(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Gets information about Amazon Web Services tags for the specified ARN.
putMetadata(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
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.
stopStream(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Disconnects the incoming RTMPS stream for the specified channel. Can be used in conjunction with DeleteStreamKey to prevent further streaming to a channel.
streamKey
attached to the channel. tagResource(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Adds or updates tags for the Amazon Web Services resource with the specified ARN.
