Streamroot was a Paris-founded video-delivery company (backed by Partech and Techstars) that built a peer-to-peer / multi-CDN "Mesh Delivery" and DNA SDK to offload live and on-demand video traffic onto a hybrid CDN+WebRTC peer mesh, reducing bandwidth cost and improving scale for broadcasters and OTT platforms. The developer surface was a client-side (browser and native player) delivery SDK distributed as video-player plugins (video.js, Clappr, hls.js, AVPlayer) rather than a server-side REST API. Streamroot was acquired by CenturyLink — now Lumen Technologies — in 2019 and folded into Lumen's CDN / Mesh Delivery product line. The standalone streamroot.io website and developer docs are offline; the surviving public assets are the (now Lumen-operated) GitHub organization and a set of official but deprecated npm player-plugin packages.
Streamroot is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Infrastructure Saas, Video, Streaming, and CDN.
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 could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/streamroot: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
