Livepeer
Livepeer is the open, permissionless protocol for video transcoding, streaming, and AI video inference, coordinated on Ethereum mainnet and Arbitrum One via the Livepeer Token (LPT). The company commercializes the network through Livepeer Studio (a managed REST API for live streaming, VOD, multistream, recording, rooms, access control, and AI generate) and the Livepeer AI Network, where any GPU operator can serve text-to-image, image-to-video, live video-to-video, LLM, audio-to-text, text-to-speech, upscale, and segmentation pipelines for fees settled in ETH via probabilistic micropayments. The reference Go implementation (go-livepeer), official SDKs in TypeScript, Python, and Go, the React UI Kit, the AI worker, and the Gateway are all open source under the Livepeer GitHub organization.
Solid contracts, transparent operations, and an easy start — typically complete on four or five facets with one clear soft spot.
API Evangelist profiles Livepeer the way a machine reads it — 96 machine-readable artifacts across 19 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 — Livepeer scores 65.7/100 (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 Livepeer
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Livepeer. 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 19
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.

Postman Collections 4
A runnable collection turns the contract into something a developer can execute in seconds. We profile them because the fastest way to trust an API is to make a real call against it.

Real integrations are rarely a single call. Arazzo describes the multi-step sequences — auth, then create, then confirm — so both a human and an agent can follow the choreography, not just the endpoints.
Multi-step API workflows described with the Arazzo specification.
Livepeer Clip a Livestream
Create a clip from a live playback ID, poll the clip task, fetch the asset.
ARAZZOLivepeer Enable Recording on a Stream
Create a stream, enable recording via update, and confirm the change.
ARAZZOLivepeer Import an Asset from a URL
Upload an asset from an external URL, then poll the processing task.
ARAZZOLivepeer Inspect a Session Recording
Read a stream session and resolve its recording playback info.
ARAZZOLivepeer Provision a Live Stream
Create a live stream, confirm it exists, and resolve its playback info.
ARAZZOLivepeer Provision Multistream Restreaming
Create a stream and attach an inline multistream target to restream it.
ARAZZOLivepeer Register a Stream Webhook
Create a stream then register a webhook scoped to its lifecycle events.
ARAZZOLivepeer Secure a Stream with a Signing Key
Create a signing key, create a JWT-gated stream, and resolve playback.
ARAZZOLivepeer Reuse a Standalone Multistream Target
Create a reusable multistream target, then bind it to a new stream by ID.
ARAZZOLivepeer Run a Transcode Job
Submit a transcode job to S3/web3.storage and poll the task until done.
ARAZZOLivepeer Upload and Process an Asset
Request a direct upload URL, then poll the asset and task until ready.

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.

RATE LIMITSFinOps 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.

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.

Governance rulesets we run against this provider's specs — the automated checks behind parts of the score. Profiling them makes the quality bar explicit and re-runnable, not a matter of opinion.
JSON Schema 6
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.

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.

Security Posture 2
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.
