Manage a live session

Using the Video Stitcher API, you create a live session each time you start playback of a livestream in which ads are dynamically stitched during ad breaks. The response contains the playback URL and the configuration of the live session.

This page describes how to create and manage a live session that is not enabled by Google Ad Manager. For more information on these types of live sessions, see Manage a live session enabled by Google Ad Manager.

Before you begin

• Create a live config

Create a live session

To create a live session, use the projects.locations.liveSessions.create method.

When you create a live session, the following fields are optional:

• adTagMacros: a list of key-value pairs for ad tag macro replacement; see the ad tag macros section
• manifestOptions: specifies which video renditions are generated in the stitched video manifest and the ordering of the renditions; see the manifest options documentation

REST

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

• PROJECT_NUMBER: your Google Cloud project number located in the Project number field on the IAM Settings page
• LOCATION: the location in which to create your session; use one of the supported regions
  Show locations
  • us-central1
  • us-east1
  • us-west1
  • asia-east1
  • asia-south1
  • asia-southeast1
  • europe-west1
  • southamerica-east1
• LIVE_CONFIG_ID: the user-defined identifier for the live config

To send your request, expand one of these options:

curl (Linux, macOS, or Cloud Shell)

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login , or by using Cloud Shell, which automatically logs you into the gcloud CLI . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Save the request body in a file named request.json. Run the following command in the terminal to create or overwrite this file in the current directory:

cat > request.json << 'EOF'
{
  "liveConfig": "projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/liveConfigs/LIVE_CONFIG_ID"
}
EOF

Then execute the following command to send your REST request:

curl -X POST \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8" \
     -d @request.json \
     "https://videostitcher.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/liveSessions"

PowerShell (Windows)

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Save the request body in a file named request.json. Run the following command in the terminal to create or overwrite this file in the current directory:

@'
{
  "liveConfig": "projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/liveConfigs/LIVE_CONFIG_ID"
}
'@  | Out-File -FilePath request.json -Encoding utf8

Then execute the following command to send your REST request:

$cred = gcloud auth print-access-token
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $cred" }

Invoke-WebRequest `
    -Method POST `
    -Headers $headers `
    -ContentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8" `
    -InFile request.json `
    -Uri "https://videostitcher.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/liveSessions" | Select-Object -Expand Content

You should receive a JSON response similar to the following:

{
  "name": "projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/liveSessions/SESSION_ID",
  "playUri": "PLAY_URI",
  "liveConfig": "projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/liveConfigs/LIVE_CONFIG_ID",
}

##
# Create a live stream session. Live sessions are ephemeral resources
# that expire after a few minutes.
#
# @param project_id [String] Your Google Cloud project (e.g. "my-project")

def create_live_session project_id:, location:, live_config_id:
  # Create a Video Stitcher client.
  client = Google::Cloud::Video::Stitcher.video_stitcher_service

  # Build the resource name of the parent.
  parent = client.location_path project: project_id, location: location

  # Build the resource name of the live config.
  live_config_name = client.live_config_path project: project_id,
                                             location: location,
                                             live_config: live_config_id

  # Set the session fields.
  new_live_session = {
    live_config: live_config_name
  }

  response = client.create_live_session parent: parent,
                                        live_session: new_live_session

  # Print the live session name.
  puts "Live session: #{response.name}"
end

The response is a live session object. The playUri is the URL the client device uses to play the ad stitched stream for this live session.

The Video Stitcher API generates a unique session ID for each request. A session expires if the playUri is not requested within the past 5 minutes.

An ad must be encoded before it can be stitched into a live session. When you create a session for an ad-stitched video, the Video Stitcher API determines if the ad has already been encoded from a previous session. The API only looks for encoded ads created by sessions associated with your Google Cloud project. For more information on this process, see the Overview.

If you're generating a session on behalf of your customers' devices, you can set the following parameters using HTTP headers:

Parameter	HTTP Header
CLIENT_IP	x-forwarded-for
REFERRER_URL	referer
USER_AGENT	user-agent

You can add the following headers to the preceding curl request:

-H "x-forwarded-for: CLIENT_IP" \
-H "referer: REFERRER_URL" \
-H "user-agent: USER_AGENT" \

If the x-forwarded-for header is not provided, the Video Stitcher API uses the client's IP address in ad metadata requests. Be aware that the client's IP address may not match the IP of your customers' devices if sessions are generated on behalf of your customers' devices.

Ad tag macros

An ad tag can contain macros, which can produce a different ad tag for each session. Macros are denoted by square brackets in the ad tag, as illustrated by the following example:

AD_TAG_URI&macro=[my-key]

The adTagUri is defined in the live config.

To substitute the value in the ad tag macro, provide a mapping in the adTagMacros field. For example, if you want to replace the [my-key] macro with the string my-value, you need to provide the following:

{
  ...
  "adTagMacros": {
    "my-key": "my-value"
  },
  ...
}

When the Video Stitcher API requests the ad metadata, it uses the following ad tag:

AD_TAG_URI&macro=my-value

Get a session

To get the live session, use the projects.locations.liveSessions.get method.

REST

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

• PROJECT_NUMBER: your Google Cloud project number located in the Project number field on the IAM Settings page
• LOCATION: the location in which to create your session; use one of the supported regions

• SESSION_ID: the identifier for the live session

To send your request, expand one of these options:

Handle client-side ad tracking

When client ad tracking is enabled, the player is responsible for triggering ad tracking events. Ad metadata provided by the Video Stitcher API includes ad tracking and companion ads information. The Video Stitcher API parses this information from the ad tag response.

Get the HLS ad metadata URI from manifest

In an HLS rendition manifest, an AdMetadataURI is encoded in attribute X-VAST-META of tag #EXT-X-DATERANGE. The #EXT-X-DATERANGE tag can be found before the first stitched segment of each ad.

The following is an example HLS timed metadata tag:

#EXT-X-DATERANGE:ID="id123",START-DATE=2014-03-05T11:15:00Z,DURATION=15,X-VAST-META="eyJBZE1ldGFkYXRhVXJpIjogImh0dHBzOi8vZXhhbXBsZS5jb20vdjFhbHBoYS9wcm9qZWN0cy8xMjMvbG9jYXRpb25zL3VzLWNlbnRyYWwxL2xpdmVTZXNzaW9ucy9hYmMzMjEvYWRNZXRhZGF0YS9pZDEyMyJ9"

The value of an X-VAST-META attribute is a base64-encoded JSON string. After decoding, you could extract the AdMetadataURI from the JSON.

The following example shows the decoded X-VAST-META:

{
  "AdMetadataUri": "https://example.com/v1/projects/123/locations/us-central1/liveSessions/abc321/adMetadata/id123"
}

Get the DASH ad metadata URI from the manifest

In a DASH manifest, each stitched ad period contains one VAST ad, and its ad metadata URI can be extracted from within the EventStream tag. AdMetadataURI is encoded in attribute messageData of the Event element. Event is an element inside tag EventStream with a schemeIdUri of urn:videostitcher:admetadata:202008.

The following is an example DASH event stream tag:

<EventStream schemeIdUri="urn:videostitcher:admetadata:202008" timescale="1000">
  <Event duration="5000" messageData="eyJBZE1ldGFkYXRhVXJpIjogImh0dHBzOi8vZXhhbXBsZS5jb20vdjFhbHBoYS9wcm9qZWN0cy8xMjMvbG9jYXRpb25zL3VzLWNlbnRyYWwxL2xpdmVTZXNzaW9ucy9hYmMzMjEvYWRNZXRhZGF0YS9pZDEyMyJ9"></Event>
</EventStream>

Use base64 to decode the messageData to JSON.

The following example shows the decoded messageData:

{
  "AdMetadataUri": "https://example.com/v1/projects/123/locations/us-central1/liveSessions/abc321/adMetadata/id123"
}

Retrieve and process ad tracking events

After you get AdMetadataURI, you can fetch ad metadata.

The following example shows the ad metadata:

{
  "activityEvents": [
    {
      "type": "PAUSE",
      "uri": "https://example.com/pause"
    }
  ],
  "progressiveEvents": [
    {
      "timeOffset": "0s",
      "events": [
        {
          "type": "IMPRESSION",
          "uri": "https://example.com/impression"
        },
        {
          "type": "START",
          "uri": "https://example.com/start"
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "timeOffset": "2.500s",
      "events": [
        {
          "type": "FIRST_QUARTILE",
          "uri": "https://example.com/firstquartile"
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "adDuration": "10s"
}

In the preceding example, the client should do the following:

• Request https://example.com/start at the start of the ad video
• Request https://example.com/impression at the start of the ad video
• Request https://example.com/pause whenever the viewer pauses the ad video
• Request https://example.com/firstQuartile 2.5 seconds into the ad video

Inspect live sessions

This section describes how to inspect live sessions and the ad tag details for a given live session. For more details, see the REST documentation.

Note: You can't use the ad tag details endpoints for live sessions enabled by Google Ad Manager. For information on Google Ad Manager live sessions, see Manage a live session enabled by Google Ad Manager.

The Video Stitcher API sends requests to ad providers specified in the ad tags in the body of a live session request. Request and response metadata for these requests is saved for 14 days and can be viewed by inspecting the live session.

The Video Stitcher API composes the ad tag detail using the following:

• The requested ad tag URL in a given ad break (or the default ad tag if none is specified)
• The configured ad tag macros from the live session request
• Additional user metadata

This information, along with the body and metadata of the response, provides insight to the behavior of the Video Stitcher API.

List ad tag details

To list the ad tag details for a live session, use the projects.locations.liveSessions.liveAdTagDetails.list method.

Consider the following response for a previously-created live session (some fields are omitted):

{
  "name": "projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/liveSessions/SESSION_ID",
  ...
}

REST

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

• PROJECT_NUMBER: your Google Cloud project number located in the Project number field on the IAM Settings page
• LOCATION: the location of your session; use one of the supported regions
  Show locations
  • us-central1
  • us-east1
  • us-west1
  • asia-east1
  • asia-south1
  • asia-southeast1
  • europe-west1
  • southamerica-east1
• SESSION_ID: the identifier for the live session

To send your request, expand one of these options:

curl (Linux, macOS, or Cloud Shell)

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login , or by using Cloud Shell, which automatically logs you into the gcloud CLI . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Execute the following command:

curl -X GET \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
     "https://videostitcher.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/liveSessions/SESSION_ID/liveAdTagDetails"

PowerShell (Windows)

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Execute the following command:

$cred = gcloud auth print-access-token
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $cred" }

Invoke-WebRequest `
    -Method GET `
    -Headers $headers `
    -Uri "https://videostitcher.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/liveSessions/SESSION_ID/liveAdTagDetails" | Select-Object -Expand Content

You should receive a JSON response similar to the following:

{
  "liveAdTagDetails" : [
    {
      "name": "projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/liveSessions/SESSION_ID/liveAdTagDetails/LIVE_AD_TAG_DETAILS_ID",
      "adRequests": [
        {
          "uri": "REQUEST_URL",
          "requestMetadata": "AD_TAG_REQUEST_METADATA",
          "responseMetadata": "AD_TAG_RESPONSE_METADATA"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Copy the returned LIVE_AD_TAG_DETAILS_ID. You need it to get the details for a single ad tag.
