Parsec

Parsec is a high-performance, low-latency remote desktop and interactive video streaming product, now a Unity company, used to access graphics-intensive and latency-sensitive applications from anywhere across any device. Its peer-to-peer architecture streams in silky-smooth high definition and is used by game studios (EA, Ubisoft, Blizzard, Square Enix), film/TV, animation, broadcast and architecture teams. Parsec for Teams adds organization-wide administration, and the Parsec for Teams API exposes that admin surface — managing members, groups, team machines (computers), time-limited guest access, application rules, relays, and the team audit log — authenticated with an API key presented as an HTTP Bearer token and governed by a granular team permission model.

Parsec publishes 8 APIs on the APIs.io network, including App Rule API, Audit Log API, Group API, and 5 more. Tagged areas include Company, Remote Desktop, Cloud Gaming, Streaming, and Virtual Desktop.

Parsec’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, changelog, and 27 more developer resources.
