IMG Arena Live Streaming Platform - US & Canada Integrations

Who is this documentation for?

This documentation is designed for customers of the IMG Arena Streaming Platform, who wish to operate within the United States or Canada. This documentation should be used in conjunction with the standard API documentation of the IMG Arena Streaming Platform, which can be found here: https://docs.imgarena.com/streaming-integration/.

Summary

Country level geo-restrictions are calculated using IP address on the IMG Arena Live Streaming Platform. GeoIP databases are 99.8% accurate to a country level.

In general, IP databases are slightly less accurate at a US State level.

With this in mind the API allows you to provide a query parameter telling us the state (US) or territory (Canada) location of the end user at the point that they make a streaming API request to the platform. We will then use this location to apply geo-restrictions.
