Niilox API platform capabilities

Multi-tenant B2B API for adaptive WebRTC P2P video, live streaming, realtime messaging, push, SMS, PSTN voice, phone numbers, auth, and payments — built for 2G.

  • Adaptive WebRTC & live video

    P2P calls and live rooms with an auto-adaptive layer — video switches to clean audio on poor links instead of freezing or breaking.

  • Stream health monitor

    LiveKit SFU idle signals (host alone or zero viewers, not chat): WebSocket still-live prompts, rate-limited host heartbeat, reconnect replay, and auto-end on idle_timeout.

  • Realtime messaging

    DMs, typing indicators, presence, room chat, and personal feeds over WebSockets.

  • Geo safety ping

    Live GPS pings on active gigs — geofence check-in, location trails, and alerts when a worker leaves the site.

  • Voice & SMS

    Dedicated phone numbers, outbound PSTN dial, inbound forwarding, and transactional SMS — telecom access request in the portal.

  • Auth & identity

    Phone OTP, Google and Apple sign-in, WebAuthn passkeys, magic links, ID verification.

  • Payments & wallet

    Checkout, token packs, mobile IAP, payouts, and multi-currency wallet.

  • Platform primitives

    Per-tenant API keys, usage metering, push, media storage, and scoped SQL console.
