  - There will be egress bandwidth charges made to the customer when the sources are accessed.
  - This endpoint requires the special permission `video-cloud/video/clear-sources` which is not available in the Studio UI. To generate credentials to get clear sources, this permission must be enabled for the account, and you must use the [OAuth API](/oauth/getting-started/overview-oauth-api-v4.html)
