Less to build
Most teams stitch video together from half a dozen services and a lot of glue code. rehelios is that whole stack — you just upload.
Upload once and every viewer automatically gets the smoothest quality their screen and connection can handle — a phone on patchy data or a laptop on fibre. You never touch a setting.
Decide exactly who can watch. Private videos can't be downloaded, shared, or hotlinked — only people you authorize get in. Make one public and embed it anywhere with a single line.
Everything you can do by hand, you can do from your code. Add and manage videos programmatically, and get a ping the moment one is ready — so video slots straight into your workflow, no babysitting.
# add a video from your own code
curl -X POST https://api.rehelios.com/v1/videos \
-H "Authorization: Bearer rh_live_…" \
-d '{"title":"launch"}'
# → we ping your app the moment it's live

Add chapter markers and group videos into collections your viewers can browse.
Views, watch time, completion, and where your audience is — per video and across your account.

Agent-native
The same API, two ways to drive it: a one-command CLI for your shell and CI, and an MCP server so AI agents can put video live without you.
npx @rehelios/cli upload — no install, no SDK. Get back an embed URL; add --json to pipe it into anything.
Drop it into Claude, Cursor or any MCP client and the agent uploads, lists and embeds video on its own.
It's the same public API behind the dashboard. Authenticate with rh_live_… and you're live.
# upload a file, get a ready-to-embed URL
$ npx @rehelios/cli upload ./demo.mp4 --wait

Every upload is cached across hundreds of points of presence, so it streams from the city closest to each viewer — not from one origin.
How it works
Drop a video in from your app or the dashboard — any size. If the connection drops, it picks up where it left off.
We get it ready to play beautifully on every device and connection. Nothing for you to set up or run.
Your video streams quickly to viewers around the world, close to wherever they happen to be.
Embed it with a single line, or wire it into your product through the API. Live in minutes.

FAQ
rehelios lets you add video to your product without building or running any video infrastructure. You upload a file and get fast, polished playback on any device, control over who can watch, captions, analytics, and an API — all hosted for you.
rehelios is usage-based: $0.02 per GB of storage per month and $0.005 per GB delivered, with a $1 monthly minimum. Preparing your videos to stream is free, and the player, access control, analytics, and API are all included. No per-seat fees.
Yes. Getting your video ready to stream is included at no extra cost. You only pay for the storage your videos use and the bandwidth you deliver to viewers.
Yes. Every upload plays smoothly across phones, tablets, laptops, and TVs, automatically adapting to each viewer's connection so playback starts fast and stays smooth. You can also offer a downloadable file.
You decide who can watch. Private videos can't be downloaded, shared, or hotlinked — only people you authorize can play them. You can make a video public and embed it anywhere whenever you choose.
Yes. Everything you can do in the dashboard is available through a REST API, and rehelios notifies your app the moment a video is ready — so video fits right into your product's workflow without polling.
rehelios is billed per gigabyte stored and delivered — the same model as Bunny Stream — rather than per minute of video like Cloudflare Stream. Getting videos ready to stream is free, and access control, analytics, and the API are all included.
Yes. Public videos embed with a single line of HTML, and private videos can be played for only the viewers you authorize.
It depends on your library. Per-minute pricing charges the same whether a video is watched once or a thousand times, and bills you to encode every minute. rehelios bills per gigabyte stored and per gigabyte delivered, with free encoding — so your cost tracks the bytes you actually keep and serve, not runtime. For mixed-length or long-tail catalogs, per-GB is usually the lower bill.
Yes. rehelios ships a CLI and an MCP server in one package, so an AI agent in Claude, Cursor, or Claude Code can upload, import, list, inspect, and embed video by calling a tool — no dashboard and no human in the loop.
Model output URLs from tools like Sora and Veo expire — they are not durable storage. Import that URL into rehelios with one call and you get a permanent, CDN-delivered, streamable video with a signed or public embed, instead of a link that dies in an hour. It works from the API, the CLI, or an AI agent.
Both are adaptive streaming formats that split a video into segments and switch quality to match each viewer's connection. HLS is the default on Apple devices; MPEG-DASH is common elsewhere. rehelios produces both from a single upload, so playback works everywhere without you choosing a format.
Yes. If your videos already live in S3, R2, or any public URL, rehelios imports them by URL — no re-upload. You hand it the source and get back a streamable video, so migrating is a backend job rather than re-uploading your whole catalog.
Yes. Uploads are resumable and TUS-compatible, so a dropped connection picks up where it left off instead of starting over — and large files upload straight from the browser to storage without passing through your server.
Create an account, upload a file, and have a fast, embeddable video live in minutes. Pay only for what you store and stream.
