The live API is the ffmpeg job type, any whitelisted FFmpeg command against URLs you provide. That covers transcoding, trimming, filtering, overlays, audio extraction, frame extraction, and anything else FFmpeg does from the command line. More dedicated job types are on the roadmap.

Failed jobs are charged for the compute they used. Rendobar has no auto-refund. If you believe a failure was caused by a Rendobar bug or platform issue, contact support and we will review for a discretionary refund. Successful and failed jobs are billed the same way: for the compute the job consumed. Inspect error.code and error.message on the job, and retry via POST /jobs/{id}/retry if appropriate. Error codes.
Yes. That is the entire ffmpeg job type. Commands run through 8 security layers (flag whitelist, format/filter blocklists, sandbox isolation) before execution. FFmpeg.
Configure a webhook endpoint on your organization. Rendobar POSTs signed JSON when jobs change status. The dashboard uses a WebSocket internally. Programmatic push is webhook-only.
