What is the Eyeson API?

The Eyeson API allows developers to control and automate Eyeson Meeting Rooms — ideal for embedding resilient, real-time video capabilities into mission systems or operational platforms.

With the Eyeson API , you can:
  • Create and manage virtual situation rooms dynamically
  • Connect participants and devices like drones or IP cameras
  • Stream live or pre-recorded feeds
  • Overlay sensor data, maps, or status layers into the video
  • Receive webhooks for lifecycle and participant events
  • ...

The API is designed for integration without maintaining media infrastructure — Eyeson manages the media routing, composition, and delivery in the cloud.

Integrated with Eyeson One View

Using the Eyeson API, developers can define how visual elements appear in the outgoing stream. This includes stream layers for video, transparent overlays, geospatial data, or AI annotations — all synchronized into a single, consistent video output.

Eyeson One View enables:

  • Real-time layout control for AI, operator, and unmanned systems
  • Seamless fusion of omnimedia sources at a single decision point
  • Scalable deployment with Smart Bandwidth optimization

Together, the Eyeson API and One View provide a programmable foundation for mission-ready video coordination with full control over content, layout, and system behavior.


Note that the Eyeson API can only be accessed via an API key, and it is a usage-based model. To create and manage an API Key, you need to sign up on Eyeson first to start with an API key implementation directly from your Eyeson account. The pricing for the Eyeson API differs from a simple Eyeson license.
