Build with Tapemetric.
Everything you need to instrument your streaming platform — from a 5-minute quickstart to the full HTTP ingest API.
Start here
Get started in 5 minutes
Install the SDK, drop in your API key, send your first play event — all before your coffee is ready.
Core concepts
Events, sessions, identity, tenants. The mental model in 1200 words.
Event schema
Every field of every event, with example payloads and validation rules.
Playback events
trackPlayStart, trackBuffer, trackComplete — wire your player in 20 lines.
HTTP ingest API
Server-to-server and beacon endpoints when an SDK isn’t an option.
Privacy & DPDP
Data residency, consent, user data export and deletion.
SDKs for every screen
Pick the platform your players run on. Every SDK emits the same event schema, so the same dashboard works across all of them.
Reference
- Ingest API — POST events from your server or beacons.
- Analytics API — query your own metrics programmatically.
- Webhooks — receive alerts in Slack or your own URL.
- Error codes — what each HTTP code means and how to retry.
