Hi @rohitmishra,

You have to get the job created by the broadcaster first. The streamID is in the job struct.

@rohitmishra you can use the [livepeerjs sdk](https://github.com/livepeer/livepeerjs/tree/master/%40livepeer/sdk). If you have broadcasted a job, you should know the broadcaster Eth address. From that, you can get a list of jobs created by that broadcaster, and the streamID should be in the job struct.

There are some examples from the recent ETHDenver hackathon here: [https://github.com/livepeer/ethdenver](https://github.com/livepeer/ethdenver)

I think the URLs in the examples may need to be updated from “-testnet” to “-rinkeby” since we’re now running on the Rinkeby testnet.
