Basics
Base URL: https://headstream.app/api/v1
Create a key under Organization, in the API and MCP card. It's shown once. Keys start with hsk_ and reach every project in the organization.
curl "https://headstream.app/api/v1/sites" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer hsk_YOUR_KEY"
Each key allows 120 requests per minute. Past that, you get 429 with the code rate_limited.
Errors look like this:
{ "error": { "code": "invalid_query", "message": "siteId is required.", "nextAction": "Pass siteId as a UUID." } }
nextAction is present on some errors. Common codes are unauthorized, not_found, invalid_query, invalid_body, conflict and rate_limited.
