SDKs overview

Server and client SDKs for the Livepeer Studio API: TypeScript, Go, Python, and React.

Use the Livepeer Studio SDKs to call the API and build playback or broadcast UIs with less boilerplate.

Server-side SDKs

Install the SDK for your language and initialise with your API key. Use them from your backend only.

Language	Package	Docs
TypeScript / JavaScript	Livepeer	npm, Livepeer Studio docs
Go	livepeer-go	pkg.go.dev
Python	Livepeer	PyPI

Example (Node):

const livepeer = new Livepeer({ apiKey: process.env.LIVEPEER_API_KEY });
const { data } = await livepeer.stream.create({ name: "my-stream" });

React components

@livepeer/react provides:

• Player - Composable playback (livestream and VOD, WebRTC + HLS/MP4 fallback). See Player and embed.
• Broadcast - In-browser WebRTC broadcasting. See Livestream from browser.

Use with your existing React app; the components work with the Livepeer Studio API and optional Studio provider.
