Jibri HTTP API

Jibri has a somewhat-implemented HTTP API to mirror the XMPP API with the following endpoints:

URL

/jibri/api/v1.0/health

Method

GET

URL Params

None

Data Params

None

Response

Code: 200 Body:

{
  "status":{
    "busyStatus": String // "IDLE", "BUSY" or "EXPIRED"
    "health":{
      "healthStatus": String // "HEALTHY" or "UNHEALTHY"
      "details": Map<String,HealthStatus> // Hash of component -> healthStatus above - only valid is "JibriManager" at present.
    }
  }
}

This call should always respond with a 200 and the status encoded in the response body. The lack of any response would represent an error of some sort

URL

/jibri/api/v1.0/startService

Method

POST

URL Params

None

Data Params

{
	"sessionId": String, // the recording operation session (e.g. RecordTest)
	"callParams": {
		"callUrlInfo": {
			"baseUrl": String, // the base url of the call (e.g. https://meet.jit.si)
			"callName": String // the call name to be appended to the base url
		}
	},
	"callLoginParams": {
		"domain": String, // The xmpp domain the Jibri client should log into when joining the call
		"username": String, // The username to use for logging in to the above domain
		"password": String // The password to use for logging in to the above domain
	},
	"sinkType": String, // "stream" for streaming, "file" for recording
	"youTubeStreamKey": String // If using "stream" above, this is the YouTube stream key to use
}

Known HTTP API limitations:

• No push status updates.
  • No way currently exists for interested parties to be notified of Jibri status changes. Queries must be made to the health endpoint.
• No way of passing Jitsi Meet call credentials.
  • When Jibri joins a call in order to capture the media, it can use a special set of credentials so that it doesn't show up like a normal participant in the meeting. The HTTP API does not currently have a way of passing-in or configuring these credentials.
