Go

Learn how to create your first stream using the Livepeer Go SDK.

1. Prerequisites

   To get the most out of this guide, you’ll need to:

   • Create an API key
2. Install the SDK

   Get the Livepeer Go SDK.

   go get github.com/livepeer/livepeer-go
   
3. Initialize the SDK

   The first step is to initialize the SDK with your Livepeer Studio API key.

   package main
   
   import (
   	"context"
   	livepeer "github.com/livepeer/livepeer-go"
   	"github.com/livepeer/livepeer-go/models/components"
   	"log"
   )
   
   func main() {
   	lpClient := livepeer.New(
   		livepeer.WithSecurity("<YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN_HERE>"),
   	)
   }
   
4. Use the SDK

   Now that you have the SDK installed and initialized, you can use it in your app. Let’s create a stream.

   package main
   
   import (
   	"context"
   	livepeer "github.com/livepeer/livepeer-go"
   	"github.com/livepeer/livepeer-go/models/components"
   	"log"
   )
   
   func main() {
   	lpClient := livepeer.New(
   		livepeer.WithSecurity("<YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN_HERE>"),
   	)
   
   	ctx := context.Background()
   	res, err := lpClient.Stream.Create(ctx, components.NewStreamPayload{
   		Name: "test_stream",
   	})
   	if err != nil {
   		log.Fatal(err)
   	}
   	if res.Stream != nil {
   		log.Printf("Stream created successfully")
   	}
   }
   
   
5. Try it yourself
