ZYPE PLAYOUT

Advanced API tools

APIs can provide end-to-end support for creating, managing, broadcasting and archiving live feeds. All functionality availability in the Zype Playout UI is driven by API architecture.

Our developer-first approach makes it easy to connect into existing legacy systems and shape Zype Playout to your specific use case by creating custom workflows. Our APIs also provide full access to encoder management so you can manage the entire live broadcast lifecycle.
