At the core of the Mux services are an open API that you can use to perform transcoding operations on media files of all types. Everything that’s available through the various MUX services is available through the API. Our goal is to make this API as simple as possible, and to support as many different users as possible, so we’ll spare you the complex explanations of the internals. Assuming you have your programming language of choice, and it supports XML and HTTP, you will be able to get up and running pretty quickly.
