Files
Category: service
ApsaraVideo Live
Validation
mkdir -p output/alicloud-media-live
python -m py_compile skills/media/live/alicloud-media-live/scripts/list_openapi_meta_apis.py
echo "py_compile_ok" > output/alicloud-media-live/validate.txtPass criteria: command exits 0 and output/alicloud-media-live/validate.txt is generated.
Output And Evidence
- Save API inventory and operation evidence under
output/alicloud-media-live/. - Keep region, domain, app/stream, and request parameters in evidence files.
Use Alibaba Cloud OpenAPI (RPC) with official SDKs or OpenAPI Explorer to manage Live resources. Prefer metadata-first API discovery before mutate operations.
Prerequisites
- Prepare least-privilege RAM AccessKey/STS credentials.
- Confirm target region and live domain scope before changes.
- Query current state with read-only APIs (
Describe*/List*) beforeAdd*/Set*/Delete*.
Workflow
1) Confirm target live domain, app name/stream name, and desired operation. 2) Discover API names and required parameters via metadata and API Explorer. 3) Execute read-only validation calls. 4) Apply change operations with rollback plan. 5) Save results and context under output/alicloud-media-live/.
AccessKey Priority
1) Environment variables: ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID / ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET / ALICLOUD_REGION_ID. 2) Shared config file: ~/.alibabacloud/credentials.
If region is ambiguous, ask before write operations.
