RTMP Client API List - loldevs/leaguespec GitHub Wiki
Riot has released an official API at the end of 2013. There is some limitations (trafic and available methods) but to understand how it works : it seems to be the best way to start.
In the other hand, many developers has released unofficial RTMP API without any limitation, in some different languages.
This list shows all known API, if they have a rich documentation or not and if they have an asynchronous system (several simultaneous connections for faster processing).
