WebRTC is one of 26 APIs that [Realtime](https://apis.io/providers/realtime/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include WebRTC, Peer-to-Peer, Video, Audio, and Data Channel. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

A peer-to-peer realtime communication framework for audio, video, and arbitrary data channels, standardized by the W3C and IETF. WebRTC defines an SDP-based offer/answer signaling model, ICE/STUN/TURN for NAT traversal, SRTP for media, and SCTP-based data channels. It powers video conferencing (LiveKit, Daily, Agora, Twilio Video, Zoom Web), live audio rooms, and low-latency game streaming.
