EveryCord SDK documentation

The EveryCord SDK puts EveryCord's live streaming, co-hosts, chat, clips, Sparks and accounts inside your own iOS and Android app, with EveryCord's servers behind them. Your users stream from your app, your viewers watch in your app, and EveryCord runs the infrastructure: upload URLs, worldwide delivery, chat, clips, creator earnings and moderation. In return, EveryCord receives a share of the revenue from the EveryCord-powered features in your app (10%, 20% or 30%, by tier).

Early access. The SDKs and the Partner API are in early access. Code samples are illustrative until the 1.0.0 release and follow the SDKs' current public names. To join, write to services@symaro.com.
