Usage in command line mode

First of all you need to login into your Facecast.io account:

$ python -m facecast_io login

Now you're able to work with your devices. Some of useful commands.

Check all existing devices:

$ python -m facecast_io devices list

Create new device

$ python -m facecast_io devices create somename

Show info about specific device

$ python -m facecast_io device someone

Show stream params for device

$ python -m facecast_io device someone --input

Start and stop outputs for device

$ python -m facecast_io device someone --start
$ python -m facecast_io device someone --stop

Provision data from API into Facecast. If we have pipeline that send following structure:

[
  {
    "channel_name": "YT ALLATRA TV Italia",
    "server_url": "url",
    "stream_key": "key",
  },
]

Call command would be next:

$ http GET 'https://streams.com/some' | jq .devname | python -m facecast_io devices provision devname
