Cloudflare Stream

Cloudflare Stream is the video streaming, hosting, and live-video product from Cloudflare - a single REST API for uploading, storing, encoding, and delivering on-demand and live video across Cloudflare's global network. It handles direct and TUS resumable uploads, copy-from-URL ingest, live inputs over RTMPS and SRT (with simulcast outputs and WebRTC/WHIP/WHEP beta), a built-in adaptive-bitrate player and HLS/DASH manifests, AI-generated and uploaded captions, signed-URL access control, per-account webhooks, and viewing analytics. This entry documents the Cloudflare Stream product specifically, not the broader Cloudflare platform. The API is served under https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/{account_id}/stream and authenticates with a Bearer API token. Billed at $5 per 1,000 minutes of video stored and $1 per 1,000 minutes delivered.

Cloudflare Stream publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Analytics API, Captions API, Live Inputs API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Video, Streaming, Live Streaming, Media, and Video Hosting.

Cloudflare Stream’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, pricing, engineering blog, and 9 more developer resources.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Cloudflare Stream, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
