Performs a specific action on a stream line, such as activation or deactivation.
Actions change the stream line's state without modifying its configuration.

gRPC request

rpc PerformAction (PerformLineActionRequest) returns (operation.Operation)

PerformLineActionRequest

{
  "stream_line_id": "string",
  // Includes only one of the fields `activate`, `deactivate`
  "activate": "ActivateAction",
  "deactivate": "DeactivateAction"
  // end of the list of possible fields
}

Field	Description
stream_line_id	string Required field. ID of the stream line on which to perform the action. The maximum string length in characters is 50.
activate	ActivateAction Activate the stream line, enabling it to receive and process video signals. This is typically used for automatic stream lines. Includes only one of the fields `activate`, `deactivate`. Specifies which action to perform on the stream line.
deactivate	DeactivateAction Deactivate the stream line, disabling it from receiving and processing video signals. This is typically used for automatic stream lines. Includes only one of the fields `activate`, `deactivate`. Specifies which action to perform on the stream line.

ActivateAction

Parameters for the activate action.

Field	Description
Empty

DeactivateAction

Parameters for the deactivate action.

Field	Description

An Operation resource. For more information, see Operation.

Field	Description
id	string ID of the operation.
description	string Description of the operation. 0-256 characters long.
created_at	google.protobuf.Timestamp Creation timestamp.
created_by	string ID of the user or service account who initiated the operation.
modified_at	google.protobuf.Timestamp The time when the Operation resource was last modified.
done	bool If the value is `false`, it means the operation is still in progress. If `true`, the operation is completed, and either `error` or `response` is available.
metadata	PerformLineActionMetadata Service-specific metadata associated with the operation. It typically contains the ID of the target resource that the operation is performed on. Any method that returns a long-running operation should document the metadata type, if any.
error	google.rpc.Status The error result of the operation in case of failure or cancellation. Includes only one of the fields `error`, `response`. The operation result. If `done == false` and there was no failure detected, neither `error` nor `response` is set. If `done == false` and there was a failure detected, `error` is set. If `done == true`, exactly one of `error` or `response` is set.
response	StreamLine The normal response of the operation in case of success. If the original method returns no data on success, such as Delete, the response is google.protobuf.Empty. If the original method is the standard Create/Update, the response should be the target resource of the operation. Any method that returns a long-running operation should document the response type, if any. Includes only one of the fields `error`, `response`. The operation result. If `done == false` and there was no failure detected, neither `error` nor `response` is set. If `done == false` and there was a failure detected, `error` is set. If `done == true`, exactly one of `error` or `response` is set.

PerformLineActionMetadata

Field

Description

stream_line_id

string

ID of the stream line on which the action is being performed.
This identifier can be used to track the action operation
and to verify that the action is being applied to the correct stream line.

StreamLine

Entity representing the incoming video signal settings.

Field	Description
id	string ID of the line.
channel_id	string ID of the channel to which this stream line belongs.
title	string Title of the stream line.
rtmp_push	RTMPPushInput Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) push input type. Includes only one of the fields `rtmp_push`, `rtmp_pull`. Specifies the input type and settings for the video signal source.
rtmp_pull	RTMPPullInput Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) pull input type. Includes only one of the fields `rtmp_push`, `rtmp_pull`. Specifies the input type and settings for the video signal source.
manual_line	ManualLine Manual stream control. Includes only one of the fields `manual_line`, `auto_line`. Specifies the control type of the stream line.
auto_line	AutoLine Automatic stream control. Includes only one of the fields `manual_line`, `auto_line`. Specifies the control type of the stream line.
created_at	google.protobuf.Timestamp Timestamp when the stream line was initially created in the system.
updated_at	google.protobuf.Timestamp Timestamp of the last modification to the stream line or its metadata.
labels	object (map<string, string>) Custom user-defined labels as `key:value` pairs. Maximum 64 labels per stream line. Labels can be used for organization, filtering, and metadata purposes.

RTMPPushInput
