For precise API, SDK, and product behaviour, prefer the routed pages in this section over older community tutorials. External resources still exist in the knowledge hub, but the internal guides below are the maintained path.
Choose a Guide Path
Start with the section that matches the outcome you need.Setup Paths
Compare the AI, video, and contributor starting points before you commit to a build path.
AI Quickstart
Get an API key, make your first AI request, and understand the next build steps for application integrations.
Transcoding Quickstart
Ship a first video workflow for livestreaming, playback, and asset processing.
Contributor Quickstart
Move into protocol, tooling, and ecosystem contribution paths if you are building beyond app integrations.
AI Guides
Task-focused pages for authentication, hardening, and production-readiness.Authentication
Set up API authentication safely and understand where keys belong in application architecture.
Production Checklist
Review the operational checks to complete before you move an AI integration into production traffic.
Troubleshooting
Work through the most common request, model, and environment issues when AI jobs fail or degrade.
SDK Integration Guide
Pick the SDK and integration pattern that matches your app, runtime, and infrastructure model.
Video Guides
Step-by-step implementation pages for core video workflows.Create a Livestream
Create stream objects, manage ingest, and connect broadcasters to Livepeer video infrastructure.
Playback
Configure playback paths for generated streams and assets, then embed them in an application experience.
Upload an Asset
Ingest video files for transcoding, storage, and downstream delivery.
Access Control
Apply playback restrictions and distribution controls to protected video experiences.
Webhooks
Wire event-driven processing into your app when streams and assets change state.
Monitor Stream Health
Monitor lifecycle and delivery signals so you can detect ingest and playback issues quickly.
Video Quickstart
Use the compatibility quickstart if you are arriving from older links while migrating to the canonical video flow.
Tutorials
End-to-end build examples that combine multiple Livepeer capabilities.Build an AI Agent on Livepeer
Build a multi-step application flow around Livepeer AI capabilities.
IPFS Video Integration
Connect Livepeer video workflows to decentralised storage and delivery patterns.
Token-Gated Video
Implement controlled access patterns for premium or gated video experiences.
Opportunities and Resources
Use these sections when you need contributor routes, exact reference material, or curated ecosystem resources.Builder Opportunities
Explore grants, RFPs, open-source contribution paths, and reward-aligned ecosystem work.
SDKs
Look up the current SDK families and how they map to Livepeer product surfaces.
APIs
Find the API surfaces relevant to video, AI, and infrastructure integrations.
Pricing and Rate Limits
Review pricing-sensitive and throughput-sensitive constraints before you ship production traffic.
PyTrickle
Understand the Python tooling surface and where it fits relative to the other SDK and API options.
Knowledge Hub
Continue into curated ecosystem resources when you need adjacent projects, examples, and external references.
