location· string · Optional — Deprecated field. This field cannot be modified, only set during creation.name· string · Optional · 2-32 characters · pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9]+(-[a-zA-Z0-9])$ — The name of the resourceproperties· object · Required — The properties of the live event.created· string · Optional — The time when the live event was created.crossSiteAccessPolicies· object · Optional — The configuration for cross-site access policies. This includes the XML content of the client access policy and cross-domain policy files. This field cannot be modified, only set during creation.clientAccessPolicy· string or null · Optional — The XML content of the client access policy file. Search 'clientaccesspolicy.xml' to learn more.crossDomainPolicy· string or null · Optional — The XML content of the cross-domain policy file. Search 'crossdomain.xml' to learn more.
description· string · Optional · 0-4096 characters — An optional description for the live event. This field cannot be modified, only set during creation.encoding· object · Required — The encoding configuration for the live event. This includes settings like encoding type and preset name. This field cannot be modified, only set during creation.encodingType· enum · Required — Live event type. When encodingType is set to PassthroughBasic or PassthroughStandard, the service simply passes through the incoming video and audio layer(s) to the output. When encodingType is set to Standard or Premium1080p, a live encoder transcodes the incoming stream into multiple bitrates or layers- Allowed values:
None,PassthroughBasic,PassthroughStandard,Premium1080p,Standard
- Allowed values:
keyFrameInterval· string · Optional · Defaults to PT2S — Use an ISO 8601 time value between 1 and 10 seconds to specify the output fragment length for the video and audio tracks of an encoding live event. For example, use PT2S to indicate 2 seconds. For the video track it also defines the key frame interval, or the length of a GoP (group of pictures). If this value is not set for an encoding live event, the fragment duration defaults to 2 seconds. The value cannot be set for pass-through live events.presetName· string · Optional — Defaults to either Default720p or Default1080p depending on encoding type. May be used to specify alternative encoding templates - contact support for assistance if your needs are complex.stretchMode· enum · Optional — Determines how aspect ratio will be preserved when there is a mismatch between the input and output aspect ratios. Autofit to pad the output. Autosize to ignore the output ratio and pick the largest dimension that fits, and None to clip the content.- Allowed values:
None,AutoSize,AutoFit
- Allowed values:
hostnamePrefix· string · Optional — Applied when useStaticHostname=true to specify the first part of the hostname for all input and preview addresses. This field cannot be modified, only set during creation.input· object · Required — The configuration for the input of the live event. This includes settings like key frame interval duration, streaming protocol, access token, and endpoints. This field cannot be modified, only set during creation.accessControl· object · Required — Access control for live event input.ip· object · Required — The IP access control for the live event inputs.allow· list of objects · Required — The IP ranges that will be allowed to access the preview. If empty, all IPs will be allowed.- Array items (object):

This is for your reference only. examples: 'everyone', 'dave's house', 'corp vpn'.subnetPrefixLength· integer · Required · 0 to 32 — The subnet prefix length (see CIDR notation).
- Array items (object):
accessToken· string · Required · 10-79 characters — For RTMP, a UUID in string form to uniquely identify the stream. For SRT, an arbitrary string of between 10 and 79 characters, used as the passphrase. This can be specified at creation time but cannot be updated. If omitted or null, the service will generate a unique value.endpoints· list of objects · Optional — Populated server-side. The input endpoints for the live event.- Array items (object):
protocol· string · Optional — The streaming protocol for the endpoint. Possible values include: 'SRT', 'RTMP'.url· string · Optional — The IP address or DNS with port and protocol
- Array items (object):
keyFrameIntervalDuration· string · Required — ISO 8601 time duration of the key frame interval duration of the input. This value sets the EXT-X-TARGETDURATION property in the HLS output. For example, use PT2S to indicate 2 seconds. Leave the value empty for encoding live events.streamingProtocol· enum · Optional · Defaults to RTMP — The input protocol for the live event. This is specified at creation time and cannot be updated.- Allowed values:
RTMP,RTMPS,SRT
