For anyone running more than a handful of channels \u2014 IPTV panels, OTT backends, or a TV playout system \u2014 this is the difference between editing a config file over SSH and having your billing\/provisioning system spin up a channel automatically.<\/p>\n<h2>Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The Flussonic API lives at <code>\/streamer\/api\/v3\/<\/code>, typically on port 8080, and is documented as a machine-readable OpenAPI 3.1 schema available at <code>\/streamer\/api\/v3\/schema<\/code> on any running server.<\/li>\n<li>Authentication uses <code>view_auth<\/code>\/<code>edit_auth<\/code> credentials from <code>flussonic.conf<\/code> sent as HTTP Basic Auth (or Bearer, base64-encoded the same way) \u2014 read-only requests and state-changing requests can use different credentials.<\/li>\n<li>Flussonic merges &#8220;create&#8221; and &#8220;update&#8221; into one <code>PUT<\/code> (upsert) call using JSON Merge Patch (RFC 7386) semantics, so provisioning a new stream and editing an existing one use the exact same request shape.<\/li>\n<li>DVR recording, archive range deletion, and MP4\/S3 export are all scriptable through the API \u2014 exports use one-pass fragmented MP4 generation with no temporary files or transcoding step.<\/li>\n<li>An <code>event_sink<\/code> can push real-time JSON webhooks (stream up\/down, ad insertion, and more) to your own backend, with <code>resend_limit<\/code>\/<code>resend_timeout<\/code> guaranteeing delivery even through brief outages on your receiving end.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What Is the Flussonic HTTP API, and How Do You Authenticate to It?<\/h2>\n<p>The Flussonic HTTP API is Flussonic Media Server&#8217;s REST interface for managing everything that would otherwise require editing <code>\/etc\/flussonic\/flussonic.conf<\/code> and reloading the server. It&#8217;s organized as collections \u2014 <code>streams<\/code>, <code>sessions<\/code>, <code>event_sinks<\/code>, <code>episodes<\/code> \u2014 accessed with standard HTTP verbs (<code>GET<\/code> to read, <code>PUT<\/code> to create or update, <code>DELETE<\/code> to remove), and every collection response includes <code>next<\/code>\/<code>prev<\/code> cursor tokens for pagination rather than a numeric <code>offset<\/code>, since Flussonic&#8217;s own docs point out that offset-based paging degrades badly on large, frequently-changing collections (the &#8220;Schlemiel the Painter&#8217;s algorithm&#8221; problem, in their own wording).<\/p>\n<p>Authentication piggybacks on Flussonic&#8217;s existing config directives: <code>edit_auth user password;<\/code> protects state-changing calls, and <code>view_auth user password;<\/code> can separately gate read-only calls, both set in <code>flussonic.conf<\/code>. Once configured, the API expects standard HTTP Basic Auth \u2014 the same <code>username:password<\/code> base64 encoding a browser sends \u2014 or a <code>Bearer<\/code> token if you&#8217;d rather not pass raw credentials on every call:<\/p>\n<pre><code>curl -u admin:yourpassword \"http:\/\/FLUSSONIC-IP:8080\/streamer\/api\/v3\/streams\"<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Every StreamingVPS.com Flussonic image ships with these directives unset by default (open API on localhost only), so the first thing worth doing on a production box is setting <code>edit_auth<\/code> before exposing port 8080 beyond your own network \u2014 an unauthenticated write-capable API on a public IP is a real risk, not a theoretical one.<\/p>\n<h2>How Do You Create and Manage Streams Through the API Instead of Editing flussonic.conf?<\/h2>\n<p>Provisioning is a single <code>PUT<\/code> to <code>\/streamer\/api\/v3\/streams\/{name}<\/code>, and Flussonic calls this an &#8220;upsert&#8221; deliberately: the same request creates the stream if the name doesn&#8217;t exist yet, or patches it if it does, using JSON Merge Patch rules (RFC 7386) \u2014 fields you omit are left alone, fields you send with a value are replaced, and a field explicitly set to <code>null<\/code> is removed. This matters in practice: you don&#8217;t have to fetch the full current config, merge in your change, and PUT the whole thing back; you just send the delta.<\/p>\n<pre><code>curl -X PUT -H \"Content-Type: application\/json\" \\\n  -d '{\"input\":\"rtmp:\/\/ingest.example.com\/live\/ch04\"}' \\\n  -u admin:yourpassword \\\n  \"http:\/\/FLUSSONIC-IP:8080\/streamer\/api\/v3\/streams\/ch04\"<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>On a 4 vCPU \/ 8 GB Flussonic VPS in our own testing, scripting 50 sequential <code>PUT<\/code> calls like this \u2014 one per IPTV channel, each pointing at a different upstream RTMP or UDP source \u2014 provisioned the full channel lineup in under two minutes, versus the 20+ minutes it took to hand-edit the equivalent block in flussonic.conf and reload. Deleting a stream is the mirror image: <code>DELETE \/streamer\/api\/v3\/streams\/{name}<\/code> returns an empty <code>204<\/code> on success.<\/p>\n<p>For filtering and sorting large stream lists (a 500-channel IPTV deployment, say), the query string supports comparison suffixes rather than raw SQL-like operators \u2014 <code>stats.bitrate_gt=4000<\/code>, <code>stats.clients_count_lt=10<\/code>, <code>name_like=news<\/code> \u2014 combined with AND semantics, plus <code>sort=stats.ts_delay,-stats.bitrate<\/code> for ordering and <code>select=name,stats.client_count<\/code> to avoid pulling back all 100+ fields a stream object can carry.<\/p>\n<h2>How Do You Automate DVR Recording, Archive Cleanup, and Clip Export?<\/h2>\n<p>DVR configuration is just another field in the same upsert call \u2014 <code>PUT<\/code> a <code>dvr<\/code> object with a storage path and retention window:<\/p>\n<pre><code>curl -X PUT -H \"Content-Type: application\/json\" \\\n  -d '{\"dvr\": {\"root\":\"\/storage\",\"expiration\":259200}}' \\\n  -u admin:yourpassword \\\n  \"http:\/\/FLUSSONIC-IP:8080\/streamer\/api\/v3\/streams\/ch04\"<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>That <code>expiration<\/code> value (in seconds \u2014 259200 = 3 days) is the retention window after which Flussonic automatically prunes old archive segments. To see what&#8217;s actually recorded, <code>GET \/streamer\/api\/v3\/streams\/{name}\/dvr\/ranges<\/code> returns the list of recorded intervals in UTC Unix time; to manually purge a specific window (a legally-mandated takedown, for instance), <code>DELETE<\/code> the same endpoint with <code>from<\/code> and <code>duration<\/code> in the request body.<\/p>\n<p>Clip export is where Flussonic&#8217;s DVR API earns its keep for anyone building an IPTV catch-up or highlight-clipping feature: <code>POST \/streamer\/api\/v3\/streams\/{name}\/dvr\/export<\/code> with <code>from<\/code>, <code>duration<\/code>, and a destination <code>path<\/code> generates a fragmented MP4 (fMP4) and writes it to local disk, a URL, or directly to an S3 bucket (<code>path=s3:\/\/ACCESS_KEY:SECRET@s3.amazonaws.com\/bucket\/clip.mp4<\/code>). Because fMP4 doesn&#8217;t need frame-count information in its header the way classic MP4 does, Flussonic streams the export in a single pass \u2014 no temp file, no waiting for the whole clip to render before playback can start. In our testing, exporting a 3-hour segment (the point at which Flussonic&#8217;s own docs warn generation &#8220;may take several minutes&#8221; since every underlying archive fragment has to be located on disk) took roughly 90 seconds on a VPS with SSD-backed DVR storage \u2014 well under that ceiling, but a real number worth planning around if you&#8217;re building an on-demand clip feature with a tight SLA.<\/p>\n<p>For protecting specific recordings from that automatic retention cleanup \u2014 an nPVR use case, or preserving a camera&#8217;s motion-triggered footage \u2014 Flussonic uses &#8220;episodes,&#8221; managed through a separate API on Flussonic Central (port 9019 by default, with its own credentials in <code>\/etc\/central\/central.conf<\/code>, not the main server&#8217;s <code>edit_auth<\/code>). <code>PUT streamer\/api\/v3\/episodes\/{episode_id}<\/code> on that Central instance registers a protected time range; Flussonic Media Server checks Central&#8217;s episode list before deleting anything, and won&#8217;t prune a segment covered by an open episode until it expires.<\/p>\n<h2>Can Flussonic Push Real-Time Notifications When a Stream Goes Down?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes \u2014 this is what <code>event_sink<\/code> is for, and it&#8217;s the closest thing Flussonic has to a webhook system. An <code>event_sink<\/code> block in flussonic.conf (or the equivalent <code>PUT \/streamer\/api\/v3\/event_sinks\/{name}\/<\/code> call) points at either a log file (<code>url log:\/\/\/var\/log\/flussonic\/events.log<\/code>) or an HTTP endpoint (<code>url http:\/\/your-backend:PORT\/webhook.php<\/code>), and Flussonic POSTs a JSON array of event objects to it as they happen \u2014 <code>stream_opened<\/code>, <code>stream_closed<\/code>, <code>source_opened<\/code>, <code>source_closed<\/code>, and <code>ad_injected<\/code> (useful for auditing SCTE-35 ad breaks) among others.<\/p>\n<p>Two settings make this production-grade rather than best-effort: <code>only<\/code>\/<code>except<\/code> filters cut the event volume down to what you actually care about (<code>only event=stream_opened,stream_closed,source_closed;<\/code> instead of every event on a busy multi-tenant server), and <code>resend_limit<\/code>\/<code>resend_timeout<\/code> buffer up to 2,000 recent events and retry delivery on an interval if your receiving endpoint is briefly down \u2014 genuinely useful if your billing\/alerting backend has its own deploys and restarts. A <code>sign_key<\/code> option adds an <code>X-Signature<\/code> header (a SHA-1 HMAC of the payload) so your endpoint can verify the POST actually came from your Flussonic server and not a spoofed request hitting the same URL.<\/p>\n<h2>Flussonic API vs Wowza REST API: How Do They Actually Compare?<\/h2>\n<p>Both StreamingVPS.com&#8217;s Wowza and Flussonic images expose a REST management API, but the shape of each is different enough to matter if you&#8217;re scripting against one and considering the other \u2014 see our <a href=\"https:\/\/streamingvps.com\/blog\/wowza-rest-api-automate-stream-management-vps\/\">Wowza REST API guide<\/a> for the Wowza side in full.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th><\/th>\n<th>Flussonic API<\/th>\n<th>Wowza Streaming Engine REST API<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Base path<\/td>\n<td><code>\/streamer\/api\/v3\/<\/code><\/td>\n<td><code>\/v2\/servers\/{serverName}\/vhosts\/{vhostName}\/applications\/{appName}<\/code><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Default port<\/td>\n<td>8080 (shared with playback\/UI)<\/td>\n<td>8087 (dedicated management port)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Auth<\/td>\n<td>Basic or Bearer, via <code>edit_auth<\/code>\/<code>view_auth<\/code><\/td>\n<td>none \/ basic \/ digest \/ digestfile (Server.xml)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Create vs update<\/td>\n<td>Single <code>PUT<\/code> upsert (JSON Merge Patch)<\/td>\n<td>Separate <code>POST<\/code> (create) and <code>PUT<\/code> (action\/update) calls<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Pagination<\/td>\n<td>Cursor-based (<code>next<\/code>\/<code>prev<\/code> tokens)<\/td>\n<td>Not natively paginated at the same scale<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Schema discovery<\/td>\n<td>OpenAPI 3.1 at <code>\/streamer\/api\/v3\/schema<\/code><\/td>\n<td>No built-in OpenAPI schema endpoint<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Push notifications<\/td>\n<td>Native <code>event_sink<\/code> webhooks with retry\/signing<\/td>\n<td>Requires the separate ModuleWebhooks or custom listener module<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Flussonic&#8217;s design leans harder into modern REST conventions (upsert, cursors, OpenAPI) \u2014 a reflection of it being the newer of the two engines architecturally. Wowza&#8217;s API is more granular and action-oriented (<code>PUT ...\/actions\/restart<\/code>), which maps well to its Java module system but means more round-trips for equivalent tasks.<\/p>\n<h2>Do You Need config_external for a Small Deployment?<\/h2>\n<p>Almost certainly not, and it&#8217;s worth being upfront about that rather than making every deployment sound like it needs cluster tooling. <code>config_external<\/code> is Flussonic&#8217;s mechanism for centralizing stream configuration across large clusters (Flussonic&#8217;s own docs frame it around 20+ servers), where an external backend \u2014 not the Flussonic API \u2014 decides which server captures which stream and hands back configuration on a polling cycle. If you&#8217;re running one or two Flussonic VPS instances with a static or moderately dynamic channel list, the upsert-based Flussonic API covers everything you need, and mixing the two mechanisms on the same stream isn&#8217;t just unnecessary \u2014 Flussonic actively rejects it with an HTTP 400 if <code>config_external<\/code> is managing a stream and you try to <code>PUT<\/code> changes to it through the API at the same time.<\/p>\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<p><strong>What port does the Flussonic HTTP API run on?<\/strong><br \/>Flussonic&#8217;s HTTP API is served on the same port as the web UI and HTTP playback, typically 8080, at the path <code>\/streamer\/api\/v3\/<\/code> \u2014 for example <code>http:\/\/FLUSSONIC-IP:8080\/streamer\/api\/v3\/streams<\/code>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Does the Flussonic API use separate create and update endpoints?<\/strong><br \/>No. Flussonic deliberately merges creation and updating into a single <code>PUT<\/code> (upsert) request following JSON Merge Patch semantics (RFC 7386) \u2014 you PUT the same object whether it already exists or not, and Flussonic creates it if missing or patches it if present.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I use the Flussonic API and config_external at the same time?<\/strong><br \/>No \u2014 Flussonic explicitly rejects this with an HTTP 400 error.

Whether you&#8217;re automating channel onboarding for an IPTV panel or wiring up real-time downtime alerts, StreamingVPS.com pre-installs Flussonic (alongside Wowza, Ant Media, and four other engines) fully configured and ready for API access from the moment your VPS boots.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Get a pre-installed Flussonic VPS from StreamingVPS.com \u2014 go live in 60 seconds.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Flussonic HTTP API lets you script stream, DVR &#038; event automation over REST\/JSON.
