Codecs Resource
Description
The /codecs endpoint provides information about codecs — audio encoders and video encoders, together with their standards-compliance properties and limitations (e.g. the allowed profiles, max width/height, max bitrate, etc.). The codec definitions are referenced by Presets to fully define an output format.
The codec list is static and read-only: codecs cannot be created, updated or deleted via the API. However, the list of available codecs may be expanded over time, and properties/capabilities of existing codecs may be extended as well (let us know if you are missing a codec or a capability — feature requests are welcome). The endpoint supports fetching all codecs or a specific codec by ID.
Supported Methods
