What is a Video API?
An end-to-end video API offers the ability to transcode video, deliver it publicly or privately, and play it back with a video player. Many video APIs also offer the ability to retrieve analytics about how your video content is being viewed. The value offered by a video API over a pre-built service is the flexibility and freedom to develop it however you want.
