Mux

Mux is an API-first video platform that provides developer tools for video streaming, on-demand video, live streaming, real-time video, and video analytics, used to ingest, transcode, store, deliver, and measure video inside applications without managing video infrastructure. The Mux platform is delivered through two product families: Mux Video (ingest, asset management, live streams, playback IDs, signed URLs, and Mux Player) and Mux Data (QoE analytics for any HTML5 video player). All Mux REST APIs are served from https://api.mux.com, authenticated via HTTP Basic auth using a Mux Access Token ID and Secret, and fully described by an OpenAPI specification.

Mux publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Assets API, Direct Uploads API, Live Streams API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Video, Streaming, Live Streaming, Video Analytics, and QoE.

Mux’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, pricing, signup flow, engineering blog, and 8 more developer resources.
