Go

Learn how to create your first stream using the Livepeer Go SDK.

1. Prerequisites

   To get the most out of this guide, you’ll need to:

   • Create an API key
2. Install the SDK

   Get the Livepeer Go SDK.

   go get github.com/livepeer/livepeer-go
   
3. Initialize the SDK

   The first step is to initialize the SDK with your Livepeer Studio API key.

   package main
   
   import(
   	"context"
   	"log"
   	"livepeer"
   	"livepeer/models/components"
   )
   
   func main() {
       lpClient := livepeer.New(
           livepeer.WithSecurity("") // Your API key
       )
   }
   
4. Use the SDK

   Now that you have the SDK installed and initialized, you can use it in your app. Let’s create a stream.

   package main
   
   import(
   	"context"
   	"log"
   	"livepeer"
   	"livepeer/models/components"
   )
   
   func main() {
       lpClient := livepeer.New(
           livepeer.WithSecurity("<api-key>"),
       )
   
       ctx := context.Background()
       res, err := lpClient.Stream.Create(ctx, components.NewStreamPayload{
           Name: "test_stream",
       })
       if err != nil {
           log.Fatal(err)
       }
   
       if res.Data != nil {
           // handle response
       }
   }
