Generate video summary

Generate an abstract and key takeaways for a video.

videoIdstring

required

Create a summary of a video using the video ID.

Example
"vi4k0jvEUuaTdRAEjQ4Jfrgz"
originstring

Use this parameter to define how the API generates the summary. The only allowed value is auto, which means that the API generates a summary automatically.

If you do not set this parameter, the API will not generate a summary automatically.

In this case, sourceStatus will return missing, and you have to manually add a summary using the PATCH /summaries/{summaryId}/source endpoint operation.

Enum
  • auto
Example
"auto"
attributesarray

Use this parameter to define the elements of a summary that you want to generate. If you do not define this parameter, the API generates a full summary with all attributes. The possible values are abstract and takeaways.

Enum
  • abstract
  • takeaways
