100ms

100ms is a real-time audio/video API for video conferencing and live streaming. Rooms are active sessions; templates define room config; recordings and analytics capture usage.

Data Model

• Rooms are live sessions. Each has a room_id. Peers (participants) are listed per room.
• Templates define room settings: layout, recording options, destinations. Use temp_id to reference a template.
• Recordings are stored session captures. May take time to process after a session ends.
• Sessions are room instances. Analytics events track join, leave, and other session activity.

Gotchas

• room_id vs temp_id: room_id identifies an active room; temp_id identifies a template (config). Don't confuse.
• Management token vs app token: Dashboard management token for API; app tokens are for client SDKs.
• Recordings: Processing is async. Check status in the response before assuming availability.
