LiveKit Server SDK

API Reference: https://docs.livekit.io/guides/server-api

Examples

Generate Access Token for a Client

import livekit

grant = livekit.VideoGrant(room_join=True, room="My Cool Room")
access_token = livekit.AccessToken("<api key>", "<api secret>", grant=grant, identity="bob", name="Bob")
token = access_token.to_jwt()

Using RoomServiceClient

import livekit

client = livekit.RoomServiceClient("<host>", "<api key>", "<api secret>")
client.mute_published_track(
    room="<room name>",
    identity="Bob",
    track_sid="<track sid>",
    muted=True,
)

export LIVEKIT_API_SECRET='<api secret>'

Run the tests:

$ pytest
