Mux + Foldr Integration
Mux is the video-for-developers API platform used by streaming products. Foldr is a useful upstream source — upload raw masters to Foldr, then pass the URL to Mux for encoding and playback.
How to Connect Mux to Foldr
Generate a Foldr API key
Sign in at foldr.space and create an API key at foldr.space/developers.
Authenticate with Mux
Generate or locate your Mux API credentials per Mux's documentation.
Wire the two APIs together
Write a small script or serverless function that calls Mux, processes the result, and POSTs to https://foldr.space/api/v1/files (or /links for short links).
Deploy + schedule
Run the script on-demand, via a cron job, or trigger it from a webhook — the Foldr REST API has no client-library lock-in.
Common Use Cases
- Host supplementary downloads (decks, source files) alongside your Mux content
- Offload large raw masters to Foldr while streaming cuts on Mux
- Link Mux viewers to Foldr lead magnets
- Use Foldr as a staging layer for assets later ingested into Mux
Mux + Foldr FAQ
How do I connect Foldr to Mux?
You connect Foldr to Mux via REST API. Full steps are listed above under "How to Connect". In short: create a Foldr API key, configure the REST API integration pointed at https://foldr.space/api/v1/, and map Mux's data into Foldr's request body.
Do I need a paid Foldr plan to use Mux with Foldr?
The Foldr free tier supports basic uploads via the API with 7-day expiry. For integration use with Mux — higher rate limits, permanent storage, multiple API keys, and webhook subscriptions — Foldr Pro (from $5/mo) is recommended.
What Foldr features can I call from Mux?
From Mux you can invoke any Foldr action: uploading files (up to 2 GB each), creating short links, generating bio pages, creating hosted forms, and reading download analytics. See the Foldr API docs for the full endpoint list.
Is there an official Foldr app for Mux?
Not a first-party app — Foldr integrates with Mux through REST API, which is usually a better fit because it doesn't require installing an extra app. If you'd rather have a native integration, let us know at foldr.space/contact.
