Validate Stream
Utilities
Validate Stream
Validate a stream URL and return rich metadata.
Returns detailed information about the stream including platform, title, channel, thumbnail, and viewer count.
POST
Validate Stream
Checks whether a stream URL is valid and currently live, and returns stream metadata plus a parsed playback URL when available.
Use this before starting expensive monitoring jobs when you want early feedback on bad URLs.
Typical flow
- Validate with
POST /streams/validate. - Use
parsed_urlfrom the response for frontend playback/preview if needed. - Start Check Once, Live Monitor, or Live Digest.
Notes
- Main monitoring endpoints can still validate internally.
- Explicit validation is useful for better UX and pre-flight checks.
