Category	Description
Cloud Slicer Live Management	Manage your CSL slicers, including creating, retrieving, updating, restarting, and deleting them. - Create CSL Slicer: `POST /managed-slicer/slicers` - Delete CSL Slicer: `DELETE /managed-slicer/slicers/`Slicer ID - Get All CSL Slicers: `GET /managed-slicer/slicers` - Get CSL Slicer: `GET /managed-slicer/slicers/`Slicer ID - Restart CSL Slicer: `GET /managed-slicer/slicers/restart/`Slicer ID - Update CSL Slicer: `PATCH /managed-slicer/slicers/`Slicer ID
Tasks	Retrieve information about CSL slicer tasks and ingest point tasks to track provisioning progress. - Get All CSL Slicer Tasks: `GET /managed-slicer/slicers/tasks` - Get All Ingest Point Tasks: `GET /managed-slicer/ingest-points/tasks` - Get CSL Slicer Task: `GET /managed-slicer/slicers/tasks/`Task ID - Get Ingest Point Task: `GET /managed-slicer/ingest-points/tasks/`Task ID
Ingest Points	Manage ingest points where encoders push video feeds for streaming. - Create Ingest Point: `POST /managed-slicer/slicers/ingest-points` - Delete Ingest Point: `DELETE /managed-slicer/slicers/ingest-points/`Ingest Point ID - Get All Ingest Points: `GET /managed-slicer/slicers/ingest-points` - Get Ingest Point: `GET /managed-slicer/slicers/ingest-points/`Ingest Point ID - Update Ingest Point: `PATCH /managed-slicer/slicers/ingest-points/`Ingest Point ID
Reference	Retrieve key data for setting up CSL slicers, including encoding profiles, supported protocols, available regions, and slicer versions. - Get Encoding Profiles: `GET /slicers/encoding-profiles` - Get CSL Slicer Protocols: `GET /managed-slicer/slicers/protocols` - Get CSL Slicer Versions: `GET /managed-slicer/slicers/version/`Region - Get CSL Regions: `GET /managed-slicer/regions`
Monitoring	Monitor the connection between the encoder and CSL slicer. - Get Link Health: `GET /managed-slicer/slicer/monitor/`Slicer ID

Workflow

Follow these steps to publish a stream using a CSL slicer:

Determine Configuration: Identify the slicer version, protocol, and region where your CSL slicer will be created.
- Use GET /managed-slicer/slicers/version/Region to retrieve available slicer versions.
- Use GET /managed-slicer/slicers/protocols to retrieve supported protocols.
- Use GET /managed-slicer/regions to retrieve available hosting regions.
Create an Ingest Point: Use POST /managed-slicer/slicers/ingest-points to create an ingest point where your encoder will push video feeds.
Create a CSL Slicer: Use POST /managed-slicer/slicers with the information from Step 1 and the ingest point from Step 2.
Monitor Slicer Status: Use GET /managed-slicer/slicers/Slicer ID to check the slicer status. Wait until its status is RUNNING.
Integrate with Streaming Workflow: Add the CSL slicer to a live channel, live event, or failover group.
Push Video Feed: From your encoder, push a video feed to the ingest point created in Step 2.
Start Streaming: Direct your player to the playback URL of your live channel or live event.

This structured workflow ensures an efficient setup and operation of CSL slicers for live streaming.
