LINQTV API - REST-based API Documentation

Here is what API means in practice, why it matters for developer tooling, and how to put it to work without rebuilding your stack from scratch.

What API really means

API gives developers APIs, SDKs and webhooks to automate and extend the platform. In streaming terms, developer tooling sits at the center of how audiences discover, watch and pay for your content.

What you gain

• REST APIs for content, users, entitlements and reporting
• Player SDKs for web, iOS, Android and TV with DRM hooks
• Prebuilt connectors for CMS, CRM and payment systems
• Token-based auth and staging environments
• Webhooks for uploads, payments and lifecycle events

The workflow behind API

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.

How LinqTV helps

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.

Running these capabilities on one platform lowers total cost of ownership and removes the integration debt of stitching separate vendors together.

Questions teams ask

How do I keep my systems in sync?

Webhooks notify your backend of events such as new content or completed payments in real time, avoiding fragile polling.

How quickly can we launch?

Most teams pilot in a matter of weeks by importing a representative content set, configuring a monetization model, and testing playback on their top devices, then expand from there.
