- - STREAM_KEY - May be an alphanumeric string
- - PUSH_URLS - May be a list of rtmp endpoints to restream to. For example: ``rtmp://live-fra02.twitch.tv/app/{stream_key}, rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2``. This environment variable is only relevant in restream mode.

 Currently, NGINX Streamer does not validate stream keys. This may be implemented in Django, for example.

+An API to get the current stream key would be nice as well.
