    1. API Description

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

    This API is used to create a task to pull streams from video files or an external live streaming source and publish them to a specified destination URL.
    Notes:

    1. By default, you can have at most 20 stream pulling tasks at a time. You can submit a ticket to raise the limit.
    2. Only H.264 and H.265 are supported for video. If the source video is in a different format, please transcode it first.
    3. Only AAC is supported for audio. If the source audio is in a different format, please transcode it first.
    4. You can enable auto deletion in the console to delete expired tasks automatically.
    5. The pull and relay feature is a paid feature. For its billing details, see Relay.
    6. CSS is only responsible for pulling and relaying content. Please make sure that your content is authorized and complies with relevant laws and regulations. In case of copyright infringement or violation of laws or regulations, CSS will suspend its service for you and reserves the right to seek legal remedies.

    A maximum of 50 requests can be initiated per second for this API.

    VodRefreshType No String The behavior after the source video files (SourceUrls) are changed.
    ImmediateNewSource: Play the new videos immediately
    ContinueBreakPoint: Play the new videos after the current video is finished playing (the remaining videos in the old playlist will not be played).

    This parameter is valid only if the source before the change is video files.
    CallbackUrl No String A custom callback URL.
    Callbacks about pull and relay events will be sent to this URL.
    ExtraCmd No String Other parameters.

    VodLocalMode No Integer Whether to use local mode when the source type is video files. The default is 0.
    0: Do not use local mode
    1: Use local mode
    Note: If you enable local mode, MP4 files will be downloaded to local storage, and the local files will be used for push. This ensures more reliable push. Pushing a local file will incur additional fees.

    3. Output Parameters

    Parameter Name Type Description
    TaskId String The task ID.
    RequestId String The unique request ID, which is returned for each request. RequestId is required for locating a problem.
