Question

What happens if an invalid or misspelt stream ID was used in the REST API call?

Applies To

• Custom Layout
• Archiving
• REST API

Answer

In a composed archiving session with custom layout, the specific layout class for the streams involved can be set in one or more of the following ways:

• Before the streams even start via session tokens.
• Dynamically while the streams are being streamed via REST API calls.
  • The API call will require the stream id of the stream being targeted.

Sometimes when using the REST API call, an invalid stream ID (for example, a stream ID from another session) might be used.

If an invalid stream ID was used in the REST API call to apply layout class on a stream:

• The layout class will not be applied.
• If the stream has no layout class, it will not appear in the composed recording.
• For the API call, there should be a HTTP response status of 404 (Not Found).

For other response statuses, refer to the REST API reference linked above.
