New Feature: Delivery Usage API (a.k.a. tracking usage for your next big idea)

What's this blog post about?

The author of this text describes their experience creating an app called Aww.tv, which allows pet owners to share live streams of their pets. They used Mux Video's live streaming capabilities and API for the project. However, as the platform gained popularity, costs increased significantly, leading to a need for a way to understand who was causing these costs. The author suggests that Mux's new Delivery Usage API can help businesses track delivered minutes by each asset, allowing them to attribute ingest and storage costs on a user-by-user basis. This feature is available to all Mux Video users and can be used for various purposes beyond usage allocation.
