Welcome to Ansdev Cloud

Video-as-a-Service that puts metadata, playback tokens, and zero-egress delivery one HTTP call away.

Welcome

Ansdev Cloud is a developer-first video platform — upload once, embed anywhere, never pay for egress. The public API is intentionally narrow: list, read, and mint a 5-minute playback token. The heavy lifting (HLS streaming, AES-128 key delivery, quality switching, theming) ships as a drop-in Player SDK.

Quickstart

Generate a key, upload a video, embed the player — under 5 minutes.

API Reference

OpenAPI 3.1 spec + interactive playground.

Player SDK

Web Component + React, themable, Shadow-DOM-isolated.

Pricing

Credits-based, transparent, $0 egress forever.

What you get

• A read-only, REST-ish public API under /v1/video/* — list, get, mint playback token.
• A 5-minute playback JWT that the Player SDK exchanges for a CDN manifest URL. Your viewers never see your storage URLs.
• An embeddable Web Component (<ansdev-player>) and a matching React component, both ~200 KB gzipped including hls.js.
• A dashboard at ansix.ansdev.cloud for key management, uploads, ledger, and refunds.

How it compares

	Ansdev Cloud	Typical hosted player
Egress fees	$0 (Cloudflare R2)	Per-GB, per-month
Embed surface	One <script> tag	Iframe + tracking
Auth model	API key → 5-min JWT	Cookie / signed URL
Theming	JSON	Limited
Source URL exposure	Never	Sometimes

Ansdev is read-only on the public API. Uploads happen exclusively from the dashboard’s Smart Stream Console. This keeps the API surface tiny, the rate-limiting model simple, and the abuse surface near-zero.
