Documentation

Welcome to Relay

Relay is a managed real-time communication platform — video rooms, automatic recording, AI content moderation, and clip extraction via a single REST API. No WebRTC expertise required.

Base URLhttps://api.relay.dev

REST-first

Every feature is available over plain HTTP. No SDKs required — any language that can make an HTTP request works on day one.

Your data, your infrastructure

Recordings and media go directly to your S3 bucket. Your PostgreSQL database stores session data. Relay never holds your content.

Global low-latency

Relay media servers are deployed globally. Rooms achieve sub-200ms end-to-end latency for participants worldwide.

Composable platform

Use only what you need. Halls, recording, AI moderation, clip extraction, and webhooks are all independent features.

No SDK required

Relay is a pure REST API. All examples in this documentation use plain curl and fetch. The same requests work in Python, Go, Ruby, Java, or any HTTP client.
