Wowza is a Denver, Colorado-based video streaming infrastructure provider that has been simplifying live and on-demand streaming since 2007. The platform spans three flagship products — Wowza Streaming Engine (a self-hosted, on-prem/cloud/edge media server supporting RTMP, RTSP, SRT, WebRTC, HLS, and MPEG-DASH), Wowza Video (a fully managed, cloud-based streaming platform with a v2.0 REST API for live streams, transcoders, stream sources, stream targets, schedules, real-time streams, videos, categories, viewer analytics, ingest data, engagement, popularity, and quality-of-experience monitoring), and Wowza Flowplayer (a commercial-grade HTML5 video player with iOS, tvOS, and Android SDKs, DRM, ad insertion, and 30+ modular plugins). Wowza powers over 200,000 streaming instances across 140 countries, serving security and surveillance, law enforcement, government and defense, sports and live events, smart cities, industrial monitoring, healthcare, and OTT customers. Developer surface includes a public OpenAPI 3.0 specification for Wowza Video, a Swagger-derived OpenAPI 3.0 specification for Wowza Streaming Engine's REST API (default base http://localhost:8087), a Java API for extending Streaming Engine via plugins, a Wowza IDE, Postman collections, and a large public WowzaMediaSystems GitHub organization of plugins, modules, sample apps, and language SDKs.
Wowza publishes 48 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Advanced Token Authentication API, Analytics Engagement API, Analytics Ingest API, and 45 more. Tagged areas include Video, Streaming, Live Streaming, Video-on-Demand, and Transcoding.
The Wowza catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
Wowza’s developer surface includes pricing, authentication, developer portal, documentation, API reference, signup flow, developer console, and 31 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)
Typed Event Surface+6 pts — AsyncAPI document, OR webhooks/callbacks objects in the as-published OpenAPI, OR common[].type includes Webhooks
8 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.

name: Wowza Advanced Token Authentication API
description: "Operations related to using advanced token authentication, known in Wowza Video as a default playback token\
\ behavior option, with videos. \n\nUse token authentication when distributing valuable or sensitive video content to\
\ audiences to ensure that only authorized users can access the content within the intended application. This allows for\
\ protection of intellectual property, compliance with regulations, and the ability to maintain control over content distribution.\
\ The token is embedded in the videos' embed URLs. \n\nThrough the <a href=\"https://www.wowza.com/docs/video-details-page-in-wowza-video\"\
\ target=\"_blank\">UI</a> or <a href=\"https://developer.wowza.com/docs/wowza-video/api/video/current/tag/videos/#tag/videos/operation/patchVideo\"\
\ target=\"_blank\">Wowza Video API</a>, you can choose one of the following options for token authentication of a video:\n\
\ \n - **NO_TOKEN** - Video files are accessible and can be downloaded and played by anyone at any time. This is the default.\
\ \n - **BASIC_TOKEN** - The platform automatically creates tokenized video URLs. This setting makes it hard for a viewer\
\ to extract the video URL and store it for usage in unintended applications over time since the embed URL, which has\
\ the token as part of the URL, will only be playable for 48 hours. The token auto renews after 48 hours when used in\
\ the intended application. \n - **ADVANCED_TOKEN** - You add the stream's JS embed code (Share Stream) and a token to\
\ your site to provide tokenization. The protections are similar to those for the Basic Token option except you customize\
\ the time limit, geographical limits, etc. during token creation. \n - **FOLLOW_DEFAULT:** - The token behavior is based\
\ on the **Default Playback Token Behavior** setting you selected for your Wowza account. See the <a href=\"https://www.wowza.com/docs/org-setting-page-in-wowza-video\"\
\ target=\"_blank\">Org Settings page in Wowza Video</a> article for where to set this configuration. \n\n **Note:**\
\ You'll use the <a href=\"https://developer.wowza.com/docs/wowza-video/api/video/current/tag/videos/#tag/videos/operation/patchVideo\"\
\ target=\"_blank\">/videos endpoints</a> to update and review the token authentication enums bulleted above.\n\nBefore\
\ selecting to use the **ADVANCED_TOKEN**, you must, first, either: \n\n - Generate a key id via the Wowza Video API,\
\ then customize and generate a token via the Wowza Video 2.0 API to add to your site. You'll need the key id to create\
\ and sign the token. \n - Generate a key id and key via the Wowza Video 2.0 API, then customize and generate a standard\
\ common access token (CAT) through the means you usually use to create tokens to add to your site. You'll need the key\
\ id and key to create and sign the token. \n\n\n After you have your playback token, you add the video JS-embed and\
\ the playback token to your site if you're going to use the **ADVANCED_TOKEN** option. The JS-embed code automatically\
\ adds the player and related video to your site. See the section on <a href=\"<a href=\"https://developer.wowza.com/docs/wowza-video/api/video/current/tag/videos/#tag/videos/operation/patchVideo\"\
\ target=\"_blank\">how to embed the player and video</a>\"."
