ApsaraVideo Live:AddLivePullStreamInfoConfig

Last Updated:Nov 11, 2025

Adds a stream pulling configuration. The configuration includes the addresses of the origin server, a start time, and an end time.

Operation description

  • Before you call this API operation, understand the billing methods and pricing for stream pulling. For more information, see Standard ApsaraVideo Live.

  • Stream pulling is the process of pulling a third-party live stream to the Alibaba Cloud Live center for accelerated distribution.

  • This API operation supports only scheduled stream pulling. You must specify a start time and an end time. The stream is pulled only during the specified time period.

  • The console supports scheduled stream pulling and triggered stream pulling. For more information, see Configure stream pulling.

  • The AppName and StreamName are customizable. Different values generate different streaming URLs. You can use the URL generator to generate these URLs.

  • Each (DomainName, AppName, StreamName) tuple can have only one configuration. If a configuration already exists for the tuple, an error is returned when you call this API operation to add another configuration.

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.
