March Updates: API Access, Metadata, and a Smarter Knowledge Base

We are excited to kick off March with another major update to rtcStats.com.

This release v1.2.0, focuses on making our platform more "pluggable" for your automated workflows, while significantly improving how you organize and understand your WebRTC data.

From programmatic access via our new API to a completely revamped Knowledge Base, this update is designed to save you time and reduce the cognitive load of troubleshooting.

🚀 Major Improvements

This release is packed with features that bridge the gap between manual analysis and automated monitoring. Here are the three main highlights:

1. Connect to rtcStats via API

You can now integrate rtcStats directly into your application or internal dashboards. We've introduced Application Tokens that give you access to our API. Read more from our OpenAPI documentation. In short, you can programmatically:

• Upload dumps directly to rtcstats.com
• Analyze sessions to retrieve observations, metrics and AI summary

Note: Access to APIs requires a Developer or Enterprise subscription.

2. A Revamped Knowledge Base

We've done a massive overhaul of our Knowledge Base (KB) to make it a true encyclopedia for WebRTC developers:

• Polished design: A cleaner, more intuitive layout to help you find answers faster
• Full-text search: Find exactly what you need across all articles instantly
• New content: We've added a wealth of new articles covering getting started integrations, billing, and - most importantly - deep dives into core WebRTC metrics

3. Organize with Tags and Descriptions

Managing dozens of sessions just got a lot easier. You can now add custom tags and descriptions to your sessions:

• Ease of search: Filter your session table by tags to find specific issues, test cases or anything you have in mind
• Bulk actions: Tag multiple sessions at once or edit session names directly from the table
• Context: Use descriptions to note specific reproduction steps or ticket IDs, making collaboration with your team seamless

Organize with Tags and Descriptions

🔍 Enhanced Observations & Metadata

We are constantly refining our "WebRTC Agent" to catch issues before you have to look for them:

New Observations

We've added three critical new detectors:

• CPU Pressure: Detects when the system experiences "serious" or "critical" CPU states that degrade media quality
• Stalled streams: Automatically identifies when a media stream stops flowing
• Out-of-order packets: Alerts you when packet sequencing issues are detected

New Observations

Metadata visibility

You can now see Client Protocol, User ID, Conference ID, and Session ID directly in the Session Details on the lefthand sidebar. No more digging through raw rtcstats file to identify which user belongs to which call.

🤖 Smarter AI Summaries

Our AI Summary engine just got a brain transplant. We've integrated the latest Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4.6 models to power our session summaries. These models provide even more nuance when explaining complex failures while staying fast.

We're confident these updates will make your WebRTC debugging smoother and more professional. As always, we'd love to hear your feedback on the new API and tagging features!

Happy debugging! 💎
