# Create a restream for a channel

```
POST 
/channels/:id/restreams
```

A restream pushes the stream of an ingest or engine of a channel to an external RTMP or SRT destination. Restreams are only available when restreaming is enabled for the organization (403 `feature_not_enabled` otherwise). `type: ingest` restreams the incoming stream of an rtmp-push or srt-push ingest of the channel as-is; the `target` must use the same protocol as the ingest (rtmp\:// or rtmps\:// for rtmp-push, srt:// for srt-push). `type: engine` restreams the output of an engine of the channel; only rtmp\:// or rtmps\:// targets are supported. Returns 400 `restream_source_not_found` when `src` is not an ingest/engine of the channel, `restream_source_not_supported` for other ingest types and `restream_target_not_supported` for a protocol mismatch. Restreaming is not available for every organization, ingest or engine region (400 `restream_not_supported` resp. `restream_source_not_supported` otherwise). A new restream is `stopped`: start it to begin pushing.
