Castr Video Hosting and VOD API

openapi: 3.0.3

  title: Castr API
  description: >-
    Castr is a live video streaming, multistreaming, and video-hosting (VOD)
    platform. This OpenAPI describes Castr's documented, self-serve REST API at
    https://api.castr.com/v2 for managing live streams and their multistream
    platform destinations, sub-second (WebRTC) streams, video hosting folders and
    uploads, live-to-VOD recordings, activity logs/events and stream stats, and
    webhook endpoints. Requests are authenticated with an API token issued from
    the account settings API section and sent in an authorization header.


    Endpoint paths, methods, and resource groupings are taken from Castr's
    published developer reference and its machine index (developers.castr.com,
    including llms.txt). The request/response schemas here are honestly modeled
    from the documentation rather than copied from a Castr-published OpenAPI file;
    verify property-level detail against the live reference.
