  Cross-cutting API standards conformance for the Zencoder v2 API, derived from the OpenAPI and docs.
  Zencoder is a media/transcoding API: it emits industry streaming/packaging and content-protection
  formats (HLS, MPEG-DASH, HEVC/H.265, CMAF, Widevine/PlayReady/FairPlay DRM) as OUTPUTS, but its HTTP
  interface uses a plain-JSON, API-key REST model rather than OAuth/OIDC or RFC 9457 problem details.
  No public Zencoder-specific compliance certification page was found, so no Compliance pointer is
  asserted.
