WAVE documentation

Guides, concepts, and reference for building on the open video layer — for people and agents.

Getting started

Introduction

What WAVE is and how the one API works for people and agents.

Quickstart

Get an API key and make your first WAVE call.

Concepts

Agent commerce

How autonomous agents discover, negotiate, and pay for media over x402 and MPP.

What WAVE speaks

The transports, protocols, and codecs behind the one API.

WAVE Mesh

WAVE's native overlay network for resilient media transport — coordinator-driven routing, multi-region reach, heartbeat-driven failover.

Braided Audio

Publish N synchronized audio channels as one MoQ track — structural phase-lock for stem players, karaoke, remix decks, and multichannel beds.

Billing and payment

The two payment rails — subscription with metered usage for people, per-call HTTP-402 for agents — and how to read a price off the wire.

Reference

Compliance & trust

WAVE's documented compliance posture.

MCP server

Use WAVE from an MCP client (Claude, Cursor) — the people-facing guide to the WAVE MCP server.

Rendering

Render video and stills through /v1/render — its scopes, its six meters, and how an agent pays for a render per call.

Zoom integration

Connect Zoom to WAVE — adding, using, and removing the integration.

API endpoints

Every WAVE API endpoint, generated from the OpenAPI contract.
