Search for stream and channel claims on the blockchain. Arguments marked with "supports equality constraints" allow prepending the value with an equality constraint such as '>', '>=', '<' and '<=' eg. --height=">400000" would limit results to only claims above 400k block height. They also support multiple constraints passed as a list of the args described above. eg. --release_time=[">1000000", "<2000000"]

    transcode the video & audio if necessary to ensure common web browser support. FFmpeg is required and file_path must be specified.
  • file_name
    optionalstr
    override file name, defaults to name from file_path.
  • file_size
    optionalstr
    override file size, otherwise automatically computed.
  • file_hash
