Wistia is an all-in-one video marketing platform for businesses that combines branded video hosting, webinars, video editing, webcam and screen recording, and deep viewer analytics for B2B marketing teams focused on lead generation, brand control, and content performance. Founded in 2006, Wistia is used by more than 425,000 businesses and integrates with major marketing automation and CRM platforms. Wistia ships an unusually complete developer surface for its category: a frozen evergreen Data API at https://api.wistia.com/v1 alongside a header-versioned modern API at https://api.wistia.com/modern with dated stable releases (2026-01), OpenAPI 3.1 descriptions made discoverable through an RFC 9727 api-catalog linkset, OAuth 2.0 with RFC 8414/9728 discovery and dynamic client registration, a hosted MCP server at https://api.wistia.com/mcp/api, a Go CLI, a Speakeasy-generated TypeScript SDK, and the Aurora `<wistia-player>` web component.
