Video API
Video API is a cloud-based service that provides developers with tools to integrate real-time video communication, streaming, and processing capabilities into applications. It typically offers features like video calling, live broadcasting, recording, and media manipulation through RESTful APIs and SDKs. These APIs abstract the complexity of handling video infrastructure, such as encoding, network optimization, and device compatibility.
Developers should use Video APIs when building applications that require video functionality without managing the underlying infrastructure, such as video conferencing apps, live streaming platforms, or video editing tools. It's particularly valuable for projects needing scalability, cross-platform support, or compliance with standards like WebRTC, as it reduces development time and operational costs compared to building custom solutions.
