LinqTV Developers - LinqTV Developers
We strive to be developer-friendly, offer a wide variety of tools and support services to help you in building any kind of video/audio solutions.
Below is a practical overview of Developer, written for product, engineering and content leaders who need to ship a dependable streaming experience.
Developer, explained
Developer lets engineering teams integrate streaming into their own products and workflows. In streaming terms, developer tooling sits at the center of how audiences discover, watch and pay for your content.
Key benefits
- REST APIs for content, users, entitlements and reporting
- Player SDKs for web, iOS, Android and TV with DRM hooks
- Webhooks for uploads, payments and lifecycle events
- Token-based auth and staging environments
How it works
Authentication uses tokens, integrations are tested in staging, and prebuilt connectors shorten the path to common CMS, CRM and payment systems.
REST APIs manage content, users and entitlements; webhooks push events such as new uploads or payments to your systems; and player SDKs embed premium playback with DRM and analytics into web, mobile and TV apps.
Building this on LinqTV
LinqTV transcodes your sources into adaptive H.264, HEVC and AV1 ladders and packages HLS and DASH automatically, with per-title encoding to control cost.
Teams typically start with a focused pilot and expand once core metrics are stable, rather than rebuilding plumbing from scratch.
Frequently asked questions
