Turn a live stream into clips and stills over HTTP. Point it at an HLS/RTMP URL — or a YouTube/Twitch page (resolved with yt-dlp) — and record a clip of the last few minutes, clip from a specific point, or grab a snapshot of what's on air right now. No OBS, no downloads, no server.
- 🔴 Clip a live signal: record N seconds from the live edge → MP4
- ⏱️ Clip from a point: give a
starttime (works on VOD and DVR-enabled live streams), like a YouTube clip - 📸 Snapshot: a single frame of the current live moment → JPG
- ⚡ HTTP API (Standby) +
/asyncfor long clips - 💵 Pay per clip
Endpoints
Base URL (Standby): https://synthetic-ia--live-stream-clipper.apify.actor with header Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN>.
| Endpoint | Body | Does |
|---|---|---|
POST /clip | { url, duration?: 1-300, start? } | Record a clip from the live signal (or from start) → MP4 |
POST /snapshot | { url, width? } | Grab the current frame → JPG |
POST /async | { operation, …params } → { runId } | Start a long clip; then GET /status/<runId> |
GET /status/<runId> | — | Poll an async job |
GET / returns this list as JSON.
Examples
Response: { "ok": true, "operation": "clip", "url": "https://…/OUTPUT.mp4", "duration": 30, "resolvedBy": "yt-dlp" }.
Supported inputs
Direct HLS (.m3u8), DASH (.mpd), RTMP/RTMPS, or a page URL (YouTube, Twitch, Kick, and everything else yt-dlp supports). The start point works on VOD and on live streams that keep a DVR window; on a pure live edge with no rewind buffer, clips record from now.
Limits
- Clip duration max 300 s; synchronous recording fits under ~4 min — use
/asyncfor longer. - http(s)/rtmp(s) only; private/loopback hosts are blocked.
- No GPU (CPU-only), so recording uses stream copy (no re-encode) — fast and cheap.
Pricing
Per clip from $0.06, per snapshot from $0.01 (platform usage included).
