How this service works
Real-time analysis of live streams (HLS/DASH/RTMP/SRT) with ASR, vision, and embeddings. Supports URL-based streams and agent chunked upload. Agent-only endpoint. Payment via USDC on base.
Output
Returns a stream_id, a WebSocket URL (events_ws) to receive real-time analysis events (transcripts, detections, OCR, embeddings), and — if using agent_capture mode — an upload_url to POST media chunks to. Events arrive continuously over WebSocket as the stream is processed.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Start analyzing this live HLS stream at https://example.com/live.m3u8 in real time — enable ASR and vision features, target under 1000ms latency, and send events to my webhook at https://myapp.io/hook.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://cnvrt.ing/api/convertliveWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, low-latency analysis of an actively live stream (HLS, DASH, RTMP, SRT, Twitch, TikTok, YouTube Live) rather than a static file. It is ideal when you need multiple simultaneous perception modalities (ASR + vision + OCR + embeddings) in a single session with WebSocket event delivery. For pre-recorded or static file transcription, use CNVRT's file upload or URL transcription endpoints instead.
Side effects
- VOD or static URL submitted instead of a live stream — request rejected with error
- Unsupported stream protocol or unreachable stream URL — session fails to initialize
- Invalid feature names in features array — unknown features ignored or error returned
- Agent_capture mode without using upload_url — no data received, session times out
- WebSocket connection dropped — real-time events lost, reconnection required
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance — 402 response, no session created
