This endpoint returns detailed information about a specific live stream registered on the Panda Video platform. It allows you to monitor the status of the broadcast in real time or retrieve comprehensive data after the live session has ended. The response includes data such as the title, status, start and end times, playback URLs (HLS and embed player), as well as streaming credentials (RTMP and stream key). You’ll also receive information about the generated VOD, view metrics, video resolution, and additional settings such as DVR and latency type. This endpoint is especially useful for tracking the live stream lifecycle, displaying relevant data on your application’s front end, or integrating with systems that need to follow the full journey of a live — from scheduling to the final recorded content.
