Dyte API
Dyte REST API — highly customizable real-time video and audio meeting infrastructure with programmable UI components, enabling agents to create meetings, manage participants, control recording, and build branded video experiences.
Score Breakdown
⚙ Agent Friendliness
🔒 Security
SOC2 Type II. HIPAA BAA available. GDPR compliant. Multi-region data residency. End-to-end encryption available. API key with org-wide access — no scope granularity. Participant tokens are short-lived JWTs.
⚡ Reliability
Best When
You need a customizable branded video experience where agents control meeting state server-side and UI components can be composed programmatically.
Avoid When
You need a simple drop-in video widget — Daily.co or Whereby are easier to integrate without custom UI composition.
Use Cases
- • Agents provisioning Dyte meeting rooms for on-demand video sessions with custom branding configurations
- • Telehealth platforms — agents creating HIPAA-compliant Dyte video sessions for patient-provider consultations
- • EdTech workflows — agents setting up Dyte classrooms with recording, whiteboard, and polling features for online education
- • Recording management — agents starting/stopping Dyte cloud recordings and retrieving media after session completion
- • Participant control — agents managing meeting participants (mute, kick, promote) via Dyte server-side API during live sessions
Not For
- • Simple video calls — use Daily.co for quick embeds without full platform customization overhead
- • High-scale broadcast to 10K+ viewers — use Mux or Agora for large audience live streaming
- • Audio-only podcasts — use Riverside or Zencastr for audio-optimized recording without video infrastructure
Interface
Authentication
API key (Organization ID + API key) via Basic auth or header. Keys from Dyte developer portal. Account-wide access. Participant auth tokens (short-lived JWT) generated server-side for client SDK access.
Pricing
Generous free tier for development. Recording storage is separate from minutes. Enterprise plans include SLA and dedicated support.
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ Participant auth tokens expire (24h) — agents must generate fresh tokens for each new participant session
- ⚠ Meeting IDs and participant IDs are separate — both required for participant control operations
- ⚠ Recording compositing (custom layouts) requires preset configuration — default is grid layout
- ⚠ Dyte's UI Kit is framework-specific — React components differ from vanilla JS; agents must specify integration type
- ⚠ Active speaker and media events only available via client SDK — server-side API cannot subscribe to live media events
