'Instagram live video streaming API
I'm looking for the solution to upload live video streaming via Instagram SDK.
I have read the doc here, but It seems very basic APIs they are providing.
Is it possible to start live video streaming on Instagram via SDK/APIs?
Thank you.

TL;DR: no IG API, origin policy is the IG app itself.
I know for the moment I they don't plan on offering that functionality, though I expect chat API to come through by the end of the year or in 2019, unless there's a major overhaul of the Live section of the app.
IG Live is an experience made for the typical Instagram use case (mobile phone with the app installed, a camera and internet connection).
Considering the recent release of IG TV, there's definitely a chance they're looking at extending APIs as tech companies generally support programmatic content gymnastics.

You can integrate your software/service with 3d party service called Instafeed.me Here is the API documentation. You can create/start/stop broadcast, get stats/heartbeat, comments etc.
