Periscope

Periscope was a consumer live video streaming application (pscp.tv) that let people broadcast and watch real-time video from their mobile devices, later operated by Twitter. The service was discontinued in March 2021 and the site (https://www.pscp.tv/) now serves only a farewell notice with archived past broadcasts; it publishes no API, developer portal, or documentation. This profile was surfaced as a portfolio-lead stub (backers: bessemer-venture-partners, gv, menlo-ventures) in the API Evangelist network. Enrichment confirms there is no active API surface to catalog.

Periscope is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Consumer, Live Streaming, Video, and Mobile.
