Credentials

Credentials are used to authenticate and authorize access to Bitstreams services and external integrations. There are three types of credentials available:

Credential Types

Access Tokens

Access tokens are used to authenticate API requests. If multiple servers are controlled/monitored by the API, then each server will require its own API Token.

Signing Keys

Signing keys are used for accessing live streams with 'signed' playback policy. These keys enable JWT (JSON Web Token) authentication for secure stream access.

Secrets

3rd-party secrets are used to authorize with external services, such as AWS MediaPackage V2. These credentials are required for successful integration with external platforms.
