RESTful API is the backend HTTP management interface for the Live Streaming Room SDK. Its main purpose is to provide developers with a simple management entry point. For security, RESTful API only offers HTTPS interfaces.

Prerequisites

To call the RESTful API, you must purchase or acquire the necessary Package bundles for LiveSdk.

Calling method

Request URL

The URL format of the RESTful API is as follows:
https://console.tim.qq.com/$ver/$servicename/$command?sdkappid=$SDKAppID&identifier=$identifier&usersig=$usersig&random=99999999&contenttype=json
The meanings and values of each parameter are as follows (both parameter names and their values are case-sensitive):
Parameter
Meaning
Fetching Value
https
Request protocol
The request protocol is HTTPS, and the request method is POST
console.tim.qq.com
Request Domain
Fixed as console.tim.qq.com
ver
Protocol Version Number
Fixed as v4
servicename
Internal Service Name, different servicenames correspond to different service types
Example: v4/live_engine_http_srv/create_room, where room_engine_http_srv is the servicename. For more details, refer to the RESTful API List
command
Command Word, used in combination with the servicename to identify a specific business feature
Example: v4/live_engine_http_srv/create_room, where create_room is the command. For more details, refer to the RESTful API List
sdkappid
Application Identifier obtained from the Chat console
Obtained when applying for integration
identifier
username, must be an App Administrator Account when calling RESTful APIs
Refer to App Administrator
usersig
password corresponding to username
Refer to Generating UserSig
random
Identifies the random number parameter for the current request
A 32-bit unsigned integer random number, ranging from 0 to 4294967295
contenttype
Request Format
Fixed value is json
Note:
When calling REST APIs, the App Server's identifier must be an App Administrator Account.
An App can generate a UserSig for the Administrator Account each time it calls a REST API, or it can generate a fixed UserSig for repeated use, but please pay special attention to the validity period of the UserSig.

HTTP Request Body Format

REST APIs only support the POST method, and the request body is in JSON format. For the specific body format, refer to the detailed description of each API. It's particularly important that the POST body cannot be empty. Even if a protocol doesn't require any information to be carried, an empty JSON object, namely {}, must be included.

HTTP return code

Unless a network error occurs (e.g., a 502 error), the invocation result of REST APIs is always 200. The real API invocation error codes and error messages are returned in the HTTP response body.

HTTP Response Body Format

The response body of the RESTful API is also in JSON format, and its format conforms to the following characteristics:
{
"ActionStatus": "OK",
"ErrorInfo": "",
"ErrorCode": 0,
"RequestId": "Id-70e312f1de024af5a36714b7b71da224-O-Seq-63504"
// Other response content of REST API
}
The response payload must contain the properties ActionStatus, ErrorInfo, ErrorCode, RequestId. Their meanings are as follows:
Field
Type
Description
ActionStatus
String
The result of the request processing. OK means success, FAIL means failure. If it's FAIL, ErrorInfo will provide the reason for failure
ErrorInfo
String
Failure
ErrorCode
Integer
Error code. 0 means success, others mean failure. You can refer to the Error Code Table for specific reasons
RequestId
String
Error code. 0 means success, others mean failure. You can refer to the Error Code Table for specific reasons

FAQ

Is there a chance that REST API requests timeout, receiving no response?

1. The timeout set for the Live backend REST interface is 3 seconds. The caller's timeout setting should be longer than 3 seconds.
2. telnet console.tim.qq.com 443 to confirm if the service port can be connected.
3. Use curl -I https://console.tim.qq.com to simply test if the status code is 200.
4. Confirm whether the machine's DNS server configuration is an internal DNS server or a public DNS server. If it is an internal DNS server, ensure that the DNS server's network egress and the region ISP of the machine's network egress IP match.
5. It is recommended for business callers to use the "Long Connection + Connection Pool" model.
Note:
Due to the high time consumption of establishing HTTPS short connections, every request incurs TCP and TLS handshake overhead. Therefore, it is recommended to access REST APIs with long connections.
Using the standard HTTP library scenarios: HTTP 1.0 requires specifying the request header Connection: keep-alive, HTTP 1.1 supports long connections by default. In scenarios where HTTPS requests are encapsulated based on TCP, you can reuse TCP connections to send and receive requests.
