Captions

Captions is an AI video editor and generator built by Mirage, an AI research company headquartered in New York City. The consumer and enterprise apps automate the most time-consuming parts of video production — cutting scenes, adding B-roll, inserting music and sound effects, generating and styling captions, dubbing into 30+ languages, correcting eye contact, and generating entirely new videos from a text prompt or a selfie via AI Avatars, AI Actors, and AI Twins. The Mirage Video API (api.mirage.app) exposes this pipeline to developers: asynchronous AI video generation, adding stylized captions to videos, caption-template discovery, text-to-speech audio, and meta text overlays. Authentication is a simple x-api-key header, keys are minted in the Mirage platform dashboard, and long-running jobs are polled for status.

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Captions the way a machine reads it — 12 machine-readable artifacts across 7 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Captions scores 54.4/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 65/100 (agent native). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Captions

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Captions. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 7

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Captions Audio API

The Audio API from Captions — 1 operation(s) for audio.

Captions health API

The health API from Captions — 1 operation(s) for health.

Captions internal API

The internal API from Captions — 8 operation(s) for internal.

Captions Meta Text Overlays API

The Meta Text Overlays API from Captions — 2 operation(s) for meta text overlays.

Captions root API

The root API from Captions — 1 operation(s) for root.

Captions Video Captions API

The Video Captions API from Captions — 3 operation(s) for video captions.

Captions Videos API

The Videos API from Captions — 3 operation(s) for videos.

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
