Streaming API

There are two interfaces required to run streaming — an HTTP API for configuration and a UDP interface for streaming. Both are documented in this section.

The RobFlow HTTP API is used to configure the streaming mode and feedback messages. It expects JSON formatted data, which is interpreted and forwarded to the controller.

The actual streaming data (i.e. the trajectory) as well as feedback messages are sent to and from the controller directly via UDP messages.

For details, please refer to the respective subpages below.

  • RobFlow API — the HTTP messages that configure streaming.
  • Streaming messages — the UDP message formats, one per streaming mode, plus the feedback messages.
