Vimeo OTT (formerly VHX) is a subscription video / over-the-top (OTT) platform for launching branded SVOD, TVOD, and live streaming services across web, mobile, and connected-TV apps. Its documented REST API at api.vhx.tv lets media companies programmatically manage customers, products (subscription, rental, and purchase access agreements), videos, and collections (categories, series, seasons, movies, playlists), plus watchlists, player authorizations, comments, live events, and analytics. The API is publicly documented at dev.vhx.tv and uses HTTP Basic authentication with an API key generated from the Vimeo OTT CMS; the platform itself is a paid product (Starter and Enterprise plans).
