XUI.ONE Streams, Channels & VOD API: Full Laravel Management Guide 2026

As your library grows, manual content operations become slow and error-prone. XUI.ONE provides dedicated APIs for each content type so you can automate full ingest and maintenance pipelines.

Five Content Domains

  • Streams API: low-level source management
  • Channels API: live channel entities
  • Movies API: VOD movie records
  • Series API: parent series entities
  • Episodes API: episode-level objects

High-Value Automation Ideas

  • Restart dead streams every 5 minutes with health command.
  • Bulk import VOD and metadata from source feeds.
  • Create full series + episodes in one pipeline run.
  • Auto-stop/remove stale or failed assets.

Laravel Command Example (Pattern)

// pseudo flow: get_streams -> check status -> start_stream if down
$streams = $xui->call('get_streams');
foreach ($streams as $s) {
    if (($s['stream_status'] ?? 1) == 0) {
        $xui->call('start_stream', ['id' => $s['id']]);
    }
}

Use queues/scheduled commands to keep these operations isolated from your billing request lifecycle.

FAQ
