    1. API Description

    Domain name for API request: live.tencentcloudapi.com.

    This API is used to create a recording task that starts and ends at specific times and records videos according to a specific recording template.

    • Prerequisites
    1. Because recording files are saved in VOD, you must first activate VOD.
    2. Storage and playback traffic fees are charged for storing and playing the videos recorded. For details, see Purchase Guide.
    • Notes
    1. If streaming is interrupted, the current recording will stop and a recording file will be generated. When streaming resumes, as long as it’s before the end time of the task, recording will start again.
    2. Avoid creating recording tasks with overlapping time periods. If there are multiple tasks with overlapping time periods for the same stream, the system will start three recording tasks at most to avoid repeated recording.
    3. Task records are kept for three months by the platform.
    4. Do not use the new CreateRecordTask, StopRecordTask, and [DeleteRecordTask] APIs together with the old CreateLiveRecord, StopLiveRecord, and DeleteLiveRecord APIs.
    5. Do not create recording tasks and push streams at the same time. After creating a recording task, we recommend you wait at least three seconds before pushing streams.

    A maximum of 20 requests can be initiated per second for this API.

    We recommend you to use API Explorer
