ApsaraVideo Live:DescribeLiveUserStreamMetricData

Last Updated:Dec 09, 2025

Queries batch data at the stream level for a specified accelerated domain name. This operation supports multiple protocols.

Operation description

Note

You cannot query the number of new connections for the HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) protocol. The number of concurrent connections for HLS is calculated based on requests in the default format. To use a special format, you must submit a ticket for configuration. The default format is as follows:

  • M3U8 request example: http(s)://example.aliyundoc.com/AppName/StreamName.m3u8

  • TS request example: http(s)://example.aliyundoc.com/AppName/StreamName/153xxxxxxxx_137xxxxx.ts

Usage notes

  • Query limit: A single query can return a maximum of 5,000 rows of data.

  • Domain name limit: You can query data for only one domain name at a time. If you specify multiple domain names, an error is returned.

  • Time span limit: The maximum time span for a query is 24 hours.

  • Time granularity limit: The minimum time granularity for a query is 1 minute.

  • Query range limit: You can query data generated within the last 31 days.

  • Call frequency limit: A single user can make up to 10 calls per second.

  • Special parameter combination: If the DomainName parameter is specified and both the AppName and StreamName parameters are set to all, the operation returns the aggregate data for the accelerated domain name.

Test

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.

Request parameters

Parameter

Type

Required

Description

Example

DomainName

string

No

The accelerated domain name to query.

Note

You can query data for only one domain name at a time. An error is returned if you specify multiple domain names. If you leave this parameter empty, the aggregate data for all accelerated domain names under your account is queried. If you do not specify AppName and StreamName, the operation returns data for all streams at the domain name level.

test.com

StartTime

string

Yes

The start of the time range to query. Specify the time in the ISO 8601 format: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ. The time must be in UTC.

2015-12-10T20:00:00Z

EndTime

string

Yes

The end of the time range to query. The end time must be later than the start time. The time span cannot exceed 24 hours. Specify the time in the ISO 8601 format: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ. The time must be in UTC.

2015-12-10T21:00:00Z

AppName

string

No

The application name. If you specify an application name, the operation queries data for streams in that application. You must specify AppName if you specify StreamName.

app

StreamName

string

No

The stream name. If you specify a StreamName, the operation returns data for that specific stream in the specified AppName. You must specify AppName if you specify StreamName.

test.flv

Protocol

string

No

The stream protocol. Specify a protocol to query data for that protocol. Supported protocols include flv, hls, rtmp, rts, and p2p. You can query data for multiple protocols. Separate protocols with a comma (,). Data for multiple protocols is not aggregated and is output at the stream level.

Note

The rts option lets you query Real-Time Streaming (RTS) streams that use the Alibaba Real-Time Communication (ARTC) protocol.

  • When you use RTS, you may need to collect statistics for transcoded streams that have the _AliRTS-opus suffix. This is because when you play an RTS stream on a web client, a transcoded stream is automatically generated by appending the _AliRTS-opus suffix to the stream name. This process generates transcoding data. For more information, see RTS sub-second latency automatic transcoding.

flv

PageNumber

integer

Yes

The current page number.

PageSize

integer

Yes

The number of data entries to return on each page. The maximum value is 5,000.
