Notes:
- Wowza Streaming Engine 4.3.0 or later is required.
- PHP examples for the tasks in this article are available in the tests folder of the PHP REST Library for Wowza Streaming Engine on GitHub.
View a list of users for a Wowza Streaming Engine instance:
Example request
curl -X GET \
-H 'Accept:application/json; charset=utf-8' \
-H 'Content-Type:application/json; charset=utf-8' \
http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/{serverName}/usersThe command should return a response that lists each user and the groups to which each is assigned, like this:
Example response
{
"serverName": "serverName",
"users": [
{
"userName": "WowzaNinja",
"groups": [
"admin",

-H 'Accept:application/json; charset=utf-8' \
-H 'Content-Type:application/json; charset=utf-8' \
http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/{serverName}/users \
-d '{
"userName": "WowzaNewbie",
"password": "mypassword",
"groups": [
""
],
"passwordEncoding": "bcrypt"
}'Delete a user:
Example request
curl -X DELETE \
-H 'Accept:application/json; charset=utf-8' \
-H 'Content-Type:application/json; charset=utf-8' \
