Create a video object

Creates a video object. More information on video objects can be found here.

titlestring

required

The title of your new video.

Example
"Maths video"
descriptionstring

A brief description of your video.

Example
"A video about string theory."
sourcestring

You can either add a video already on the web, by entering the URL of the video, or you can also enter the videoId of one of the videos you already have on your api.video acccount, and this will generate a copy of your video. Creating a copy of a video can be especially useful if you want to keep your original video and trim or apply a watermark onto the copy you would create.

Example
"https://www.myvideo.url.com/video.mp4 OR vi4k0jvEUuaTdRAEjQ4JfOyl"
publicboolean

Default: True. If set to false the video will become private. More information on private videos can be found here

Default
true
Example
true
panoramicboolean

Indicates if your video is a 360/immersive video.

Default
false
Example
false
mp4Supportboolean

Enables mp4 version in addition to streamed version.

Default
true
Example
true
playerIdstring

The unique identification number for your video player.

Example
"pl45KFKdlddgk654dspkze"
tagsarray

A list of tags you want to use to describe your video.

Example
"[\"maths\", \"string theory\", \"video\"]"
metadataarray

A list of key value pairs that you use to provide metadata for your video.

Example
"[{\"key\": \"Author\", \"value\": \"John Doe\"}]"
keystring

The constant that defines the data set.

Example
"Color"
valuestring

A variable which belongs to the data set.

Example
"Green"
clipobject (video-clip)

Use this object to create a smaller clip from a video you upload.

  • You can only create video clips in the same request where you create the video container.
  • You cannot update the starting or ending timestamps of a video clip after you created the video container.
  • When you upload a video file into a container where you defined a starting and ending timestamp, the API trims the video according to those timestamps to create a clip.
startTimecodestring

The timestamp that defines the beginning of the video clip you want to create. The value must follow the HH:MM:SS format.

Pattern
^(?:\d{2,3}:[0-5]\d:[0-5]\d(?:\.\d{1,3}|\:\d{1,2})?|\d{1,7})$
Example
"00:01:15"
endTimecodestring

The timestamp that defines the end of the video clip you want to create. The value must follow the HH:MM:SS format.

Pattern
^(?:\d{2,3}:[0-5]\d:[0-5]\d(?:\.\d{1,3}|\:\d{1,2})?|\d{1,7})$
Example
"00:02:33"
watermarkobject (video-watermark)
idstring

id of the watermark

Example
"watermark_1BWr2L5MTQwxGkuxKjzh6i"
topstring

Distance expressed in px or % between the top-border of the video and the watermark-image.

Example
"10px"
leftstring

Distance expressed in px or % between the left-border of the video and the watermark-image.

Example
"10px"
bottomstring

Distance expressed in px or % between the bottom-border of the video and the watermark-image.

Example
"10px"
rightstring

Distance expressed in px or % between the right-border of the video and the watermark-image.

Example
"10px"
widthstring

Width of the watermark-image relative to the video if expressed in %. Otherwise a fixed width. NOTE: To keep intrinsic watermark-image width use initial.

Example
"initial"
heightstring

Height of the watermark-image relative to the video if expressed in %. Otherwise a fixed height. NOTE: To keep intrinsic watermark-image height use initial.

Example
"initial"
opacitystring

Opacity expressed in % only to specify the degree of the watermark-image transparency with the video.

Example
"70%"
languagestring or null

Use this parameter to set the language of the video. When this parameter is set, the API creates a transcript of the video using the language you specify. You must use the IETF language tag format.

language is a permanent attribute of the video. You can update it to another language using the PATCH /videos/{videoId} operation. This triggers the API to generate a new transcript using a different language.

Enum
  • ar
  • ca
  • cs
  • da
  • de
  • el
  • en
  • es
  • fa
  • fi
  • fr
  • he
  • hi
  • hr
  • hu
  • it
  • ja

  • ml

  • nn
  • no
  • pl
  • pt
  • ru
  • sk
  • sl
  • te
  • tr
  • uk
  • ur
  • vi
  • zh
Example
"fr"
transcriptboolean

Use this parameter to enable transcription.

  • When true, the API generates a transcript for the video.
  • The default value is false.
  • If you define a video language using the language parameter, the API uses that language to transcribe the video. If you do not define a language, the API detects it based on the video.
  • When the API generates a transcript, it will be available as a caption for the video.
transcriptSummaryboolean

Use this parameter to enable summarization. We recommend using this parameter together with transcript: true.

  • When true, the API generates a summary for the video, based on the transcription.
  • The default value is false.
  • If you define a video language using the language parameter, the API uses that language to summarize the video. If you do not define a language, the API detects it based on the video.
transcriptSummaryAttributesarray

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

Update the parameters associated with a video ID.

playerIdstring

The unique ID for the player you want to associate with your video.

Example
"pl4k0jvEUuaTdRAEjQ4Jfrgz"
titlestring

The title you want to use for your video.

descriptionstring

A brief description of the video.

Example
"A film about good books."
publicboolean

Whether the video is publicly available or not. False means it is set to private. Default is true. Tutorials on private videos.

Example
true
panoramicboolean

Whether the video is a 360 degree or immersive video.

Example
false
mp4Supportboolean

Whether the player supports the mp4 format.

Example
true
tagsarray

A list of terms or words you want to tag the video with. Make sure the list includes all the tags you want as whatever you send in this list will overwrite the existing list for the video.

Example
"[\"maths\", \"string theory\", \"video\"]"
metadataarray

A list (array) of dictionaries where each dictionary contains a key value pair that describes the video. As with tags, you must send the complete list of metadata you want as whatever you send here will overwrite the existing metadata for the video.

keystring

The constant that defines the data set.

Example
"Color"
valuestring

A variable which belongs to the data set.

Example
"Green"
languagestring or null

Use this parameter to set the language of the video. When this parameter is set, the API creates a transcript of the video using the language you specify. You must use the IETF language tag format.

language is a permanent attribute of the video. You can update it to another language using the PATCH /videos/{videoId} operation. This triggers the API to generate a new transcript using a different language.

Enum
  • ar
  • ca
  • cs
  • da
  • de
  • el
  • en
  • es
  • fa
  • fi
  • fr
  • he

Example
"fr"
transcriptboolean

Use this parameter to enable transcription.

  • When true, the API generates a transcript for the video.
  • The default value is false.
  • If you define a video language using the language parameter, the API uses that language to transcribe the video. If you do not define a language, the API detects it based on the video.
  • When the API generates a transcript, it will be available as a caption for the video.
transcriptSummaryboolean

Use this parameter to enable summarization.

  • When true, the API generates a summary for the video, based on the transcription.
  • The default value is false.
  • If you define a video language using the language parameter, the API uses that language to summarize the video. If you do not define a language, the API detects it based on the video.
transcriptSummaryAttributesarray

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
