100ms

100ms is a live video and audio infrastructure company headquartered in Bengaluru, India that provides developer SDKs and a REST control plane for embedding video conferencing, interactive live streaming (HLS), RTMP ingest/egress, recording, real-time chat/messaging, polls, whiteboard, and AI-powered transcription into applications. The company was acquired by Disney+ Hotstar (JioCinema/JioHotstar) in 2023 and continues to operate as an independent commercial SaaS — the same infrastructure powering some of the largest live cricket audiences in the world (IPL on JioCinema/Hotstar). The platform exposes a single Server-Side REST API at api.100ms.live/v2 plus client SDKs for Web (JavaScript/React), iOS (Swift), Android (Kotlin), React Native, Flutter, and a Node.js server SDK, with public OpenAPI specs generated from the docs and a Postman collection.

Solid contracts, transparent operations, and an easy start — typically complete on four or five facets with one clear soft spot.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles 100ms the way a machine reads it — 32 machine-readable artifacts across 12 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — 100ms scores 63.5/100 (strong), with a separate agent-readiness read of 48/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile 100ms

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for 100ms. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 12

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

100ms Active Rooms API

In-session control of running rooms and connected peers.

100ms Analytics API

Query webhook events, track events, recording events, errors, and peer quality.

100ms External Streams API

Push the room feed to YouTube / Twitch / Facebook via RTMP.

100ms Live Streams API

HLS live streams driven from a 100ms room.

100ms Policy API

Templates, roles, and recording configuration.

100ms Polls API

Real-time polls and quizzes inside a room.

100ms Recording Assets API

Output assets (mp4, mp3, transcript, chat) produced by recordings.

100ms Recordings API

Composite and track-level recordings of sessions.

100ms Room Codes API

Short codes used by client apps to join a room.

100ms Rooms API

Persistent containers for a live session.

100ms Sessions API

Historical sessions inside a room.

100ms Stream Keys API

Per-room RTMP ingest stream keys.

Open Collections 1

Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.

GraphQL 1

Where a provider ships GraphQL, the schema is the contract. We profile it alongside the REST surface so the whole interface is legible in one place.

GraphQL schemas published by this provider.

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Cost, billing, and metering signals for API financial operations.

Semantic Vocabularies 1

JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.

JSON-LD contexts and semantic vocabularies used across these APIs.

JSON Schema 3

Standalone JSON Schema definitions describe the data models behind the API. We profile them so the shapes are validatable on their own — useful long after a single request is forgotten.

Examples 3

Real request and response payloads are what turn a spec from abstract into obvious — and they're one of the twelve things an agent needs to call an API correctly on the first try.

Example request and response payloads for these APIs.

Security Posture 4

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
