## GET: `/api/stream`
|
|
cobalt's live render (or stream) endpoint. usually, you will receive a url to this endpoint

|
|
and **unmodifiable** from your (the api client's) perspective, and can change between versions.
|
|
|
|
therefore you don't need to worry about what they mean - but if you really want to know, you can
|
|
[read the source code](/src/modules/stream/manage.js).

## GET: `/api/serverInfo`
