Prerequisites
To get the most out of this guide, you’ll need to:
2
Install the SDK
Get the Livepeer Javascript SDK.
npm install livepeer
3
Initialize the SDK
The first step is to initialize the SDK with your Livepeer Studio API key.
import { Livepeer } from "livepeer";
const livepeer = new Livepeer({
apiKey: "<api-key>", // Your API key
});

Use the SDK
Now that you have the SDK installed and initialized, you can use it in your app. Let’s create a stream.
import { Livepeer } from "livepeer";
const livepeer = new Livepeer({
apiKey: "<api-key>",
});
const main = async () => {
const { stream } = await livepeer.stream.create({
name: "Hello from JS SDK!",
});
console.log(stream);
};
main();
