Query parameters

embedding_optionlist of enumsOptional
Specifies which types of embeddings to retrieve. You can include one or more of the following values: - `visual-text`: Returns visual embeddings optimized for text search. - `audio`: Returns audio embeddings. <br/> To retrieve embeddings for a video, it must be indexed using the Marengo video understanding model version 2.7 or later. For details on enabling this model for an index, see the [Create an index](/reference/create-index) page. The platform does not return embeddings if you don't provide this parameter. The values you specify in `embedding_option` must be included in the `model_options` defined when the index was created. For example, if `model_options` is set to `visual` only, then you cannot set `embedding_option` to `audio` or both `visual-text` and `audio`.
Allowed values:
transcriptionbooleanOptional
The parameter indicates whether to retrieve a transcription of the spoken words for the indexed video. Note that the official SDKs will support this feature in a future release.
