What it does
The Daily API adds video and audio calls to a website or app: create rooms and meeting tokens with the REST API, then join them with Daily's prebuilt call UI or its JavaScript and mobile SDKs, with recording and live streaming available. Responses are JSON; the key goes in an Authorization: Bearer header. Free with a free API key, 10,000 call minutes a month.
