  Mux is a video infrastructure platform that gives developers an end-to-end API for ingesting, encoding,
  storing, delivering, and analyzing video. The platform spans Mux Video (on-demand and live streaming),
  Mux Data (quality-of-experience analytics), Mux Robots (AI workflows for captions, chapters, summarization,
  and moderation), and Mux Player (drop-in playback components). Mux exposes a unified REST API at
  api.mux.com plus delivery hosts at stream.mux.com, image.mux.com, and stats.mux.com, backed by official
  SDKs in Node, Python, Ruby, PHP, Go, and Elixir, a CLI, and player integrations across web, iOS,
  Android, Roku, and major HTML5 players.

    The Mux Video API manages the lifecycle of on-demand video, including Assets, Direct Uploads, Playback
    IDs, URL Signing Keys, Playback Restrictions, DRM Configurations, Transcription Vocabularies, and
    Delivery Usage. Developers can create assets from source URLs or chunked direct uploads, generate
    secure playback IDs (public, signed, or DRM-protected), and retrieve playback manifests, thumbnails,
    GIFs, and storyboards through stream.mux.com and image.mux.com.
