Create a clip
Bearer authentication header of the form Bearer <token>, where <token> is your auth token.
The playback ID of the stream or stream recording to clip. Asset playback IDs are not supported yet.
The start timestamp of the clip in Unix milliseconds. See the ClipTrigger in the UI Kit for an example of how this is calculated (for HLS, it uses Program Date-Time tags, and for WebRTC, it uses the latency from server to client at stream startup).
The end timestamp of the clip in Unix milliseconds. See the ClipTrigger in the UI Kit for an example of how this is calculated (for HLS, it uses Program Date-Time tags, and for WebRTC, it uses the latency from server to client at stream startup).
The optional friendly name of the clip to create.
The optional session ID of the stream to clip. This can be used to clip recordings - if it is not specified, it will clip the ongoing livestream.

Body
The playback ID of the stream or stream recording to clip. Asset playback IDs are not supported yet.
The start timestamp of the clip in Unix milliseconds. See the ClipTrigger in the UI Kit for an example of how this is calculated (for HLS, it uses Program Date-Time tags, and for WebRTC, it uses the latency from server to client at stream startup).
The end timestamp of the clip in Unix milliseconds. See the ClipTrigger in the UI Kit for an example of how this is calculated (for HLS, it uses Program Date-Time tags, and for WebRTC, it uses the latency from server to client at stream startup).
The optional friendly name of the clip to create.
The optional session ID of the stream to clip. This can be used to clip recordings - if it is not specified, it will clip the ongoing livestream.
Response
Type of the asset.
video, audio The playback ID to use with the Playback Info endpoint to retrieve playback URLs.
URL for HLS playback. It is recommended to not use this URL, and instead use playback IDs with the Playback Info endpoint to retrieve the playback URLs - this URL format is subject to change (e.g. https://livepeercdn.com/asset/ea03f37e-f861-4cdd-b495-0e60b6d753ad/index.m3u8).
The URL to directly download the asset, e.g. https://livepeercdn.com/asset/eawrrk06ts2d0mzb/video. It is not recommended to use this for playback.
Whether the playback policy for a asset or stream is public or signed
public, jwt, webhook ID of the webhook to use for playback policy
User-defined webhook context

url URL from which the asset was uploaded.
Gateway URL from asset if parsed from provided URL on upload.
unverified Developer-managed ID of the user who created the resource.
Name of the NFT metadata template to export. 'player' will embed the Livepeer Player on the NFT while 'file' will reference only the immutable MP4 files.
file, player Additional data to add to the NFT metadata exported to IPFS. Will be deep merged with the default metadata exported.

Phase of the asset storage
waiting, processing, ready, failed, reverted Current progress of the task updating the storage.
Error message if the last storage changed failed.
ID of any currently running task that is exporting this asset to IPFS.
ID of the last task to run successfully, that created the currently saved data.
ID of the last task to fail execution.
