# PeerTube **Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/peertube/ **Website:** https://joinpeertube.org/ **APIs profiled:** 54 PeerTube is a free, decentralized, and federated video hosting platform developed by Framasoft as an open-source alternative to centralized video services like YouTube. It enables anyone to self-host a video platform that federates with other instances via ActivityPub, forming a global network of over 1,600 platforms hosting more than one million videos. The REST API supports video uploading and management, channel and playlist operations, live streaming, search and discovery across federated nodes, content moderation, plugin management, and distributed transcoding via remote runner jobs. ## Kin Score — 34.5 / 100 (thin) Scored 2026-08-20 under rubric 0.12.0.
