Lightspeed Live Application Program Interfaces
These APIs enable you to monitor and control your Lightspeed Live system within a
broader, web services-based system or create your own customized monitoring
system. You can also submit and monitor capture jobs in Vantage using the Vantage
API.

You can also create a web services-based system to control capture operations beyond
the functionality or capability of Telestream's Live Capture web applications, to meet
your organization's requirements.
Vantage API
The Vantage API is required for any workflow integration, in addition to other APIs you
may require.
Vantage provides an SDK to expose the REST API, which is designed to enable third-
party programs to submit jobs to Vantage workflows, monitor and manage jobs, and
access job's metadata and their files, and perform other tasks in Vantage. The Vantage
API is language independent and can be implemented using REST, SOAP or WCF
protocols.
The Vantage API Reference is published on the Telestream web site for registered
Vantage users.
Lightspeed Live Source API
The Lightspeed Live Source REST API enables you to create and configure SDI and IP
sources for use in Live Capture. The Live Source API is implemented in the Telestream
Live Source Service.
The Live Source API is described at
http://<Server>:17000 | 19000 | <Capture Action Port>/help/
index.html
where <Server> is the host name of the Lightspeed Live Server or keyword localhost
when accessed locally.
The default port for Web Service triggers is 17000; the default port for Recurring
Segment triggers is 19000. The port number may change, based on the port number
specified in the target workflow's Capture action. If you are using multiple Capture
workflows, you should configure each with a different port.
