Reviewer Notes

Developer-first video API with excellent docs. REST API: upload video, get playback ID, stream URL. Webhooks for transcode completion. Mux Data API for playback analytics. No free tier but pay-per-use (per-minute billing, no minimum). Test mode available without billing. OpenAPI spec available. Node.js/Python SDKs. Excellent for agents that record or process video.
