The Resources.Video class provides methods to manage the videos you've uploaded to the platform.

Methods

Retrieve video information

Description: This method retrieves information about the specified video.

Function signature and example:

async retrieve(
  indexId: string,
  id: string,
  { embed }: RetrieveVideoParams = {},
  options: RequestOptions = {},
): Promise<Models.Video>

const printSegments = (segments: SegmentEmbedding[], maxElements = 5) => {
  segments.forEach((segment) => {
    console.log(
      `  embedding_scope=${segment.embeddingScope} start_offset_sec=${segment.startOffsetSec} end_offset_sec=${segment.endOffsetSec}`
    );
    console.log(
      "  embeddings: ",
      segment.embeddingsFloat.slice(0, maxElements)
    );
  });
};

const video = await client.index.video.retrieve(
  "<YOUR_INDEX_ID>",
  "<YOUR_VIDEO_ID>",
  { embed: true }
);
console.log(`ID: ${video.id}`);
console.log(`Created At: ${video.createdAt}`);
console.log(`Updated At: ${video.updatedAt || "N/A"}`);
console.log(`Indexed At: ${video.indexedAt || "N/A"}`);
console.log("Metadata:");
console.log(`  Filename: ${video.metadata.filename}`);
console.log(`  Duration: ${video.metadata.duration}`);
console.log(`  FPS: ${video.metadata.fps}`);
console.log(`  Width: ${video.metadata.width}`);
console.log(`  Height: ${video.metadata.height}`);
console.log(`  Size: ${video.metadata.size}`);
const additionalMetadata = Object.keys(video.metadata).filter(
(key) =>
    !["filename", "duration", "fps", "width", "height", "size"].includes(key)
);
if (additionalMetadata.length > 0) {
additionalMetadata.forEach((key) => {
    console.log(`  ${key}: ${video.metadata[key]}`);
});
}
if (video.hls) {
console.log("HLS:");
console.log(`  Video URL: ${video.hls.videoUrl || "N/A"}`);
console.log("  Thumbnail URLs:");
(video.hls.thumbnailUrls || []).forEach((url) => {
    console.log(`    ${url}`);
});
console.log(`  Status: ${video.hls.status || "N/A"}`);
console.log(`  Updated At: ${video.hls.updatedAt}`);
}
if (video.source) {
console.log("Source:");
console.log(`  Type: ${video.source.type}`);
console.log(`  Name: ${video.source.name}`);
console.log(`  URL: ${video.source.url || "N/A"}`);
}
if (video.embedding) {
    console.log(`Engine name: ${video.embedding.engineName}`);
    console.log("Embeddings:");
    printSegments(video.embedding.videoEmbedding.segments);
}

Parameters:

API Reference: For a description of each field in the request and response, see the Retrieve video information page.

List videos with direct pagination

Description: This method returns a paginated list of the videos in the specified index based on the provided parameters. Choose this method mainly when the total number of items is manageable, or you must fetch a single page of results. By default, the platform returns your videos sorted by their upload date, with the newest at the top of the list.

Function signature and example:

async list(
  indexId: string,
  {
    id,
    size,
    width,

    duration,
    fps,
    createdAt,
    updatedAt,
    indexedAt,
    ...restParams
  }: ListVideoParams = {},
  options: RequestOptions = {},
): Promise<Models.Video[]>

const listParams = {
id: "66ea61c40679760c1fc6a114",
filename: "example_video.mp4",
size: 1024,
width: 1280,
height: 720,  // Example: 720p to 1080p
duration: 20,  // Example: 1 minute to 5 minutes
fps: 24,
metadata: {
    category: "nature"
},
createdAt: "2024-09-17T07:53:46.365Z",

indexedAt: "2024-09-17T07:55:22.125Z",
page: 1,
pageLimit: 5,
sortBy: "created_at",
sortOption: "desc"
};

const videos = await client.index.video.list("66e9358a808d95368f6f7a7c", listParams)
videos.forEach(video => {
console.log(`ID: ${video.id}`);
console.log(`  Created at: ${video.createdAt}`);
console.log(`  Updated at: ${video.updatedAt || "N/A"}`);
console.log(`  Indexed at: ${video.indexedAt || "N/A"}`);
console.log("  Metadata:");
console.log(`    Filename: ${video.metadata.filename}`);
console.log(`    Duration: ${video.metadata.duration}`);
console.log(`    FPS: ${video.metadata.fps}`);
console.log(`    Width: ${video.metadata.width}`);
console.log(`    Height: ${video.metadata.height}`);
console.log(`    Size: ${video.metadata.size}`);
if (video.hls) {
    console.log("  HLS:");
    console.log(`    Video URL: ${video.hls.videoUrl || "N/A"}`);
    console.log("    Thumbnail URLs:");
    (video.hls.thumbnailUrls || []).forEach((url) => {
    console.log(`      ${url}`);
    });
    console.log(`    Status: ${video.hls.status || "N/A"}`);
    console.log(`    Updated At: ${video.hls.updatedAt}`);
}
if (video.source) {
    console.log("  Source:");
    console.log(`    Type: ${video.source.type}`);
    console.log(`    Name: ${video.source.name}`);
    console.log(`    URL: ${video.source.url || "N/A"}`);
}
});
