To verify a stream is running, you can fetch the stream status by sending a
GET request to https://livepeer.com/api/stream/ with the stream object id
appended. You received the id in the response when you
created a stream object.
Here is an example request:
curl -H 'authorization: Bearer {api_key}' \"https://livepeer.com/api/stream/{streamId}"
This is an example response:
{"name":"test_stream","profiles":[{"bitrate":2000000,"fps":30,"height":720,"name":"720p","width":1280},{"bitrate":1000000,"fps":30,"height":480,"name":"480p","width":854},{"bitrate":500000,"fps":30,"height":360,"name":"360p","width":640}],"id":"2d10f1fd-dbf7-495b-8aef-08916507fcce","createdAt":1596118509635,"lastSeen":1596119750455}
lastSeen represents when the stream was last observed by the monitoring
system. The time is reported in Unix epoch time. If the stream is running, the
epoch will be close to the current time.
