Red5 provides real-time streaming infrastructure for live video and audio delivery at scale. The Red5 Pro platform includes a media server, Stream Manager 2.0 for autoscaling cloud deployments, the Brew Mixer for composite stream production, a Restreamer for pushing live streams to social media and RTMP destinations, and WebRTC and native SDKs for browser and mobile integration. Red5 APIs enable programmatic management of streams, mixers, restreaming, cluster orchestration, and node monitoring. Use cases include live events, sports broadcasting, interactive video, gaming, surveillance, and enterprise communications requiring ultra-low latency streaming.
Red5 publishes 17 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Pro WebRTC SDK, Admin API, File Restreamer API, and 14 more. Tagged areas include Live Streaming, Media, Real-Time, RTMP, and Streaming.
The Red5 catalog on APIs.io includes 2 event-driven AsyncAPI specifications, 1 JSON-LD context, and 3 Spectral governance rulesets.
Red5’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, pricing, engineering blog, changelog, sandbox, code examples, and 49 more developer resources.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it
carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts
themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already
holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in
front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created.
Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet,
not penalised by it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Show this score on your site.
It updates itself when the score changes. Paste this where you link to your API docs:

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
MCP Server+12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
Idempotency+9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
A2A Agent Card+8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Delegated User Identity+6 pts — a served discovery document listing authorization_code in grant_types_supported (served), else an oauth2 authorizationCode flow or openIdConnect declared in an OpenAPI (documented)
Documented Reversibility+6 pts — a reversal operation in the contract, graded up when a window is documented too
6 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.
Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market:
its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted:
not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted.
Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
