  title: Coconut API
  description: >-
    The Coconut API v2 is a cloud video and audio encoding/transcoding service.
    A single asynchronous job transcodes a source media file into multiple
    output formats, packages adaptive HLS/MPEG-DASH streams, and generates
    thumbnails and GIF animations, delivering results to cloud storage and
    reporting progress through webhooks. Authentication is HTTP Basic with the
    API key as the username and a blank password.

        Submit a new encoding job. A single request defines the input source,
        storage destination, desired outputs, optional notification webhook,
        and optional settings (such as ultrafast parallel transcoding). The job
        runs asynchronously and progress is reported via the notification
        webhook when configured.
