Livepeer
Livepeer is the open, permissionless protocol for video transcoding, streaming, and AI video inference, coordinated on Ethereum mainnet and Arbitrum One via the Livepeer Token (LPT). The company commercializes the network through Livepeer Studio (a managed REST API for live streaming, VOD, multistream, recording, rooms, access control, and AI generate) and the Livepeer AI Network, where any GPU operator can serve text-to-image, image-to-video, live video-to-video, LLM, audio-to-text, text-to-speech, upscale, and segmentation pipelines for fees settled in ETH via probabilistic micropayments. The reference Go implementation (go-livepeer), official SDKs in TypeScript, Python, and Go, the React UI Kit, the AI worker, and the Gateway are all open source under the Livepeer GitHub organization.
Livepeer publishes 19 APIs on the APIs.io network, including accessControl API, asset API, Ethereum API, and 16 more. Tagged areas include Video, Live Streaming, Video On Demand, AI Video, and Decentralized Compute.
The Livepeer catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 3 Spectral governance rulesets.
Livepeer’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, pricing, engineering blog, changelog, signup flow, and 55 more developer resources.
