Getting Started

This page will help you get started with Streamlabs API. You'll be up and running in a jiffy!

Upgrading From v1.0

Why do I have to re-register my application?
We recently upgraded our API infrastructure to a newer version which includes critical security improvements and performance upgrades. As part of the migration process, we'll be disabling access to the old version of the API to ensure that the most secure, performant technology is available to all Streamlabs users. During this process, re-registration will be required for all existing users, but to expedite the application process we'll flag your account as "pre-approved" to ensure a smooth and easy migration process.


What changes do I need to make to use v2.0 in my application?

  • In v2.0 access token cannot be passed as a query param. It can only be accessed through a Bearer Authentication Header.
  • To make the transition as smooth as possible, all api endpoints can be consumed exactly as they were in v1.0 with the only change being the api version. For instance https://streamlabs.com/api/v1.0/user is now https://streamlabs.com/api/v2.0/user.
