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

   RubyGems

   gem install livepeer
   

   Gemfile

   gem 'livepeer'
   
3. Initialize the SDK

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

   require_relative livepeer
   
   lpClient = Livepeer::SDK.new
   
   lpClient.config_security(
     security=Shared::Security.new(
       api_key="", # 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.

   require_relative livepeer
   
   
   lpClient = Livepeer::SDK.new
   
   lpClient.config_security(
     security=Shared::Security.new(
       api_key="",
     )
   )
   
   req = Shared::NewStreamPayload.new(
     request=Shared::NewStreamPayload.new(
       name="test_stream",
     ),
   )
   
   res = lpClient.stream.create(req)
   
   if ! res.data.nil?
     # handle response
   end
