IvsRealTimeClient
The Amazon Interactive Video Service (IVS) real-time API is REST compatible, using a standard HTTP API and an AWS EventBridge event stream for responses. JSON is used for both requests and responses, including errors.
Key Concepts
Stage — A virtual space where participants can exchange video in real time.
Participant token — A token that authenticates a participant when they join a stage.
Participant object — Represents participants (people) in the stage and contains information about them. When a token is created, it includes a participant ID; when a participant uses that token to join a stage, the participant is associated with that participant ID. There is a 1:1 mapping between participant tokens and participants.
For server-side composition:
Composition process — Composites participants of a stage into a single video and forwards it to a set of outputs (e.g., IVS channels). Composition operations support this process.
Composition — Controls the look of the outputs, including how participants are positioned in the video.
For participant replication:
Source stage — The stage where the participant originally joined, which is used as the source for replication.
Destination stage — The stage to which the participant is replicated.
Replicated participant — A participant in a stage that is replicated to one or more destination stages.
Replica participant — A participant in a destination stage that is replicated from another stage (the source stage).

Tagging
A tag is a metadata label that you assign to an AWS resource. A tag comprises a key and a value, both set by you. For example, you might set a tag as topic:nature
to label a particular video category. See Best practices and strategies in Tagging AWS Resources and Tag Editor for details, including restrictions that apply to tags and "Tag naming limits and requirements"; Amazon IVS stages has no service-specific constraints beyond what is documented there.
Tags can help you identify and organize your AWS 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 Access Tags).
The Amazon IVS real-time API has these tag-related operations: TagResource, UntagResource, and ListTagsForResource. The following resource supports tagging: Stage.
At most 50 tags can be applied to a resource.
Functions
Creates an EncoderConfiguration object.
Creates a new IngestConfiguration resource, used to specify the ingest protocol for a stage.
Creates an additional token for a specified stage. This can be done after stage creation or when tokens expire. Tokens always are scoped to the stage for which they are created.
Creates a new stage (and optionally participant tokens).
Creates a new storage configuration, used to enable recording to Amazon S3. When a StorageConfiguration is created, IVS will modify the S3 bucketPolicy of the provided bucket. This will ensure that IVS has sufficient permissions to write content to the provided bucket.
Deletes an EncoderConfiguration resource. Ensures that no Compositions are using this template; otherwise, returns an error.
Deletes a specified IngestConfiguration, so it can no longer be used to broadcast. An IngestConfiguration cannot be deleted if the publisher is actively streaming to a stage, unless force
is set to true
.
Deletes the specified public key used to sign stage participant tokens. This invalidates future participant tokens generated using the key pair’s private key.
Shuts down and deletes the specified stage (disconnecting all participants). This operation also removes the stageArn
from the associated IngestConfiguration, if there are participants using the IngestConfiguration to publish to the stage.
Deletes the storage configuration for the specified ARN.
Disconnects a specified participant from a specified stage. If the participant is publishing using an IngestConfiguration, DisconnectParticipant also updates the stageArn
in the IngestConfiguration to be an empty string.

Stops and deletes a Composition resource. Any broadcast from the Composition resource is stopped.

Removes tags from the resource with the specified ARN.
Updates a specified IngestConfiguration. Only the stage ARN attached to the IngestConfiguration can be updated. An IngestConfiguration that is active cannot be updated.
Updates a stage’s configuration.
