ApsaraVideo Live:AddLiveDomain

Last Updated:Jan 27, 2026

Adds a domain name to ApsaraVideo Live. This operation allows you to add only one domain name at a time.

Operation description

  • You must activate ApsaraVideo Live before you add a domain name. For more information, see Activate ApsaraVideo Live.

  • ApsaraVideo Live verifies the ownership of a new domain name that you add. After the verification is passed, the domain name is added to ApsaraVideo Live. ApsaraVideo Live allows you to use a Domain Name System (DNS) record or a verification file to verify the ownership of a domain name. For more information, see Verify the ownership of a domain name.

  • To use ApsaraVideo Live to ingest and play streams, you must add an ingest domain and a streaming domain. You can add only one domain name at a time.

  • After you add a domain name, you must configure a CNAME record for the domain name. For more information, see Add a CNAME record.

  • After you add an ingest domain and a streaming domain, you must associate the streaming domain with the ingest domain. For more information, see Associate a streaming domain with an ingest domain.

Note

From February 19, 2019, domain names that are added by calling the AddLiveDomain operation do not support live center ingest. Domain names that are added by using Alibaba Cloud CDN also do not support live center ingest. When you call the AddLiveDomain operation, you can set the LiveDomainType parameter to liveEdge to add an ingest domain that uses edge ingest or set the LiveDomainType parameter to liveVideo to add a streaming domain. You can associate a streaming domain with an ingest domain by calling the AddLiveDomainMapping operation. Domain names added before February 19, 2019, for which live center ingest was configured, are not affected.

QPS limit

You can call this operation up to 30 times per second per account. Requests that exceed this limit are dropped and you will experience service interruptions. We recommend that you take note of this limit when you call this operation.

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.
