1. Why integrate external APIs with Xtream UI?
Xtream UI exposes a range of API endpoints that developers can leverage to automate tasks, build dashboards, or even create external management systems for resellers and admins. This unlocks significant flexibility for IPTV businesses.
---
2. Common Use Cases for API Integration:Build custom client panels (billing, credits, usage stats)
Automate user creation or subscription renewal
Develop analytics dashboards (Active Users, Buffer Rate, Peak Times)
Integrate with CRMs or ticketing systems (e.g., Freshdesk, WHMCS)
Connect to Telegram bots or Discord for auto-alerts
---
3. Available Xtream UI API Endpoints (Unofficial):While Xtream UI doesn’t have full official docs, most panels expose endpoints like:
Example JSON response includes:
Channel list
EPG data
VOD/Series metadata
Server info and expiration dates
Admin panels also allow:
Reseller credits manipulation
Line suspension/activation
Adding new users (via POST methods)
---
4. Tools You Can Use:Postman: For testing and visualizing API calls
cURL or Python Requests: Automate API workflows
PHP or Node.js: To create middleware between UI and other services
Make.com / Zapier: Low-code automation platforms to trigger tasks based on API events
MySQL + Cronjobs: For database-based automations (e.g., auto-ban expired users)
---
5. Custom Panel Ideas:Multi-language user portals
Self-service credit top-up via PayPal
Real-time logs of streaming errors
A “System Health” monitor (tracks CPU, RAM, Streams running, disk usage)
---
6. Security Considerations:Always use secure HTTPS endpoints
Never expose admin-level credentials in public tools
Rate-limit API access to avoid misuse
Sanitize inputs to avoid injection attacks
---
7. Bonus Tip – Use Webhooks:If you have access to webhook-compatible environments, you can trigger actions automatically (e.g., when a user signs up, auto-create their IPTV line via Xtream API).
