Mux

About

Video infrastructure API: send a file or live stream in, get an HLS playback URL out, with a player and playback analytics included. Pricing is per minute of video, not per GB. A free plan covers 100,000 delivered minutes a month.

What you can do with it

• Upload a video file and stream it anywhere with one playback URL
• Run live streams over RTMP or SRT and record them for replay
• Measure playback quality and engagement with built-in analytics

Get started

1. Create an access token with Mux Video read and write permissions
2. Play the asset at https://stream.mux.com/{PLAYBACK_ID}.m3u8

Example

curl https://api.mux.com/video/v1/assets \
  -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -u "$MUX_TOKEN_ID:$MUX_TOKEN_SECRET" \
  -d '{ "inputs": [{ "url": "https://muxed.s3.amazonaws.com/leds.mp4" }], "playback_policies": ["public"], "video_quality": "basic" }'
