What developers appreciate about IgniteEfficient workflows, clean APIs, and less complexity – ready to use out of the box.

  • Integration that fits your stack

    Whether via iframe, API, or your own player – Ignite plugs into almost any setup. Works great with traditional CMS, headless architectures, or custom frontends.

    With Ignite you get an embed code that you can control
  • Control via a clean REST API

    Uploads, metadata, embed links, captions, or transcription – everything is fully controllable through a straightforward REST API. Lightweight, predictable, and easy to integrate into existing systems.

    Code Examples from the Ignite API
  • JavaScript control for the player

    Autoplay, start time, captions, mute – the Ignite player can be fully controlled via JavaScript. You stay in control – or swap in your player if you prefer.

  • oEmbed, embedly and iframly support included

    Ignite supports the oEmbed + embedly + iframly so you can embed videos by simply pasting the URL – for example in WordPress or other CMS platforms that support one of those. No embed code needed.

  • Documentation that doesn’t get in the way

    The developer docs cover every endpoint, with example calls, parameters, and real-world use cases. No fluff – just a resource you’ll actually want to use.

  • Built-in pipeline for encoding & delivery

    Once uploaded, Ignite handles the entire process: transcoding into multiple resolutions, generating thumbnails, and preparing videos for adaptive streaming. The pipeline runs entirely in the background – no manual steps or extra tools required.

    How HLS Streams Work
  • No infrastructure overhead

    Ignite takes care of hosting, encoding, TLS, and CDN delivery. No custom infrastructure, no special configurations needed.

  • Automatically scales – no config needed

    Whether it's 10 views or a million, Ignite delivers high performance at any scale. No setup, no tuning – it just works.

  • First-party hosting supported

    If you need full control, you can serve Ignite videos through your own subdomain. It keeps your setup technically clean and makes everything feel like a seamless part of your infrastructure.

    Vizualization of a First Party Setup
  • No legal headaches

    Ignite runs entirely without tracking cookies or third-party scripts. You can embed videos directly – no consent banners, no extra opt-ins. That keeps implementation simple and avoids long back-and-forths with legal teams. Of course, data processing agreements (DPA) are available too.

  • Flexible trial periods for your projects

    Agencies and complex setups don’t always fit into a 14-day window. That’s why we offer extended trial periods on request – sometimes right up to go-live. This gives you the time to integrate, test, and work with Ignite in a real project environment.

  • Create an account, upload a video, start using the API – everything’s ready to go.

    We’re ready when you are. No sales call, no waiting, no artificial barriers. Start testing right away, embed your first videos, and try the API in a real setup. When it works for you, pick the right plan in the next step.
