An index is a basic unit for organizing and storing video data consisting of video embeddings and metadata. Indexes facilitate information retrieval and processing. The resources.Index class provides methods to manage your indexes.

Properties

Name	Type	Description
`video`	`resources.Video`	Use this property to manage the videos uploaded to this index.

Methods

Create an index

Description: This method creates a new index based on the provided parameters.

Function signature and example:

1 def create(
2     self,
3     name: str,
4     models: List[types.IndexModel],
5     *,
6     addons: Optional[List[str]] = None,
7     **kwargs
8 ) -> models.Index

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`name`	`str`	Yes	The name of the new index.
`options`	`List[types.IndexModel]`	Yes	A list of `IndexModel` objects specifying the video understanding models and the model options you want to enable for this index. Each object is a dictionary with two keys: `name` and `options`.
`addons`	`Optional[List[str]]`	No	A list specifying which add-ons should be enabled.
`**kwargs`	`dict`	No	Additional keyword arguments for the request.

Return value: Returns a models.Index object representing the newly created index.

API Reference: For a description of each field in the request and response, see the Create an index page.

Retrieve an index

Description: This method retrieves details of a specific index.

Function signature and example:

1 def retrieve(self, id: str, **kwargs) -> models.Index

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`id`	`str`	Yes	The unique identifier of the index to retrieve.
`**kwargs`	`dict`	No	Additional options for the request. Defaults to `{}`.

Return value: Returns a models.Index object representing the retrieved index.

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

List indexes with direct pagination

Description: The list method retrieves a paginated list of indexes 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 indexes sorted by creation date, with the newest at the top of the list.

Function signature and example:

1 def list(
2     self,
3     *,
4     id: Optional[str] = None,
5     name: Optional[str] = None,
6     model_options: Optional[List[Union[str, Literal["visual", "audio"]]]] = None,
7     model_family: Optional[Union[str, Literal["marengo", "pegasus"]]] = None,
8     page: Optional[int] = 1,
9     page_limit: Optional[int] = 10,
10     sort_by: Optional[str] = "created_at",
11     sort_option: Optional[str] = "desc",
12     created_at: Optional[Union[str, Dict[str, str]]] = None,
13     updated_at: Optional[Union[str, Dict[str, str]]] = None,
14     **kwargs
15 ) -> RootModelList[models.Index]

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`id`	`Optional[str]`	No	Filter by the unique identifier of an index.
`name`	`Optional[str]`	No	Filter by the name of an index.
`model_options`	`Optional [Literal["visual", "audio"]] = None`	No	Filter by model options.
`model_family`	`Optional[Literal["marengo", "pegasus"]] = None`	No	Filter by model family.
`page`	`Optional[int]`	No	Page number for pagination. Defaults to 1.
`page_limit`	`Optional[int]`	No	Number of items per page. Defaults to 10.
`sort_by`	`Optional[str]`	No	Field to sort by (“created_at” or “updated_at”). Defaults to “created_at”.
`sort_option`	`Optional[str]`	No	Sort order (“asc” or “desc”). Defaults to “desc”.
`created_at`	`Optional[Union[str, Dict[str, str]]] = None`	No	Filter by creation date. This parameter can be a string or a dictionary for range queries.
`updated_at`	`Optional[Union[str, Dict[str, str]]] = None`	No	Filter by update date. This parameter can be a string or a dictionary for range queries.
`**kwargs`	`dict`	No	Additional keyword arguments for the request.

Return value: Returns a RootModelList containing models.Index objects, representing the list of indexes that match the specified criteria.

API Reference: For a description of each field in the request and response, see the List indexes page.

List indexes with iterative pagination

Description: This method iterates through a paginated list of indexes based on the provided parameters. Choose this method mainly when your application must retrieve a large number of items. By default, the platform returns your indexes sorted by creation date, with the newest at the top of the list.

Function signature and example:

1 def list_pagination(
2     self,
3     *,
4     id: Optional[str] = None,
5     name: Optional[str] = None,
6     model_options: Optional[Literal["visual", "audio"]] = None,
7     model_family: Optional[Union[str, Literal["marengo", "pegasus"]]] = None,
8     page: Optional[int] = 1,
9     page_limit: Optional[int] = 10,
10     sort_by: Optional[str] = "created_at",
11     sort_option: Optional[str] = "desc",
12     created_at: Optional[Union[str, Dict[str, str]]] = None,
13     updated_at: Optional[Union[str, Dict[str, str]]] = None,
14     **kwargs
15 ) -> models.IndexListWithPagination

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`id`	`Optional[str]`	No	Filter by the unique identifier of an index.
`name`	`Optional[str]`	No	Filter by the name of an index.
`model_options`	`Optional[Literal["visual", "audio"]] = None`	No	Filter by model options.
`model_family`	`Optional[Literal["marengo", "pegasus"]] = None`	No	Filter by model family.
`page`	`Optional[int]`	No	Page number for pagination. Defaults to 1.
`page_limit`	`Optional[int]`	No	Number of items per page. Defaults to 10.
`sort_by`	`Optional[str]`	No	Field to sort by (“created_at” or “uploaded_at”). Defaults to “created_at”.
`sort_option`	`Optional[str]`	No	Sort order (“asc” or “desc”). Defaults to “desc”.
`created_at`	`Optional[Union[str, Dict[str, str]]]`	No	Filter by creation date. This parameter can be a string or a dictionary for range queries.
`updated_at`	`Optional[Union[str, Dict[str, str]]]`	No	Filter by update date. This parameter can be a string or a dictionary for range queries.
`**kwargs`	`dict`	No	Additional keyword arguments for the request.

Return value: Returns a models.IndexListWithPagination object, containing the list of indexes that match the specified criteria and pagination information.

Notes

To retrieve subsequent pages of results, use the iterator protocol:

Invoke the next function, passing the IndexListWithPagination object as a parameter.
Repeat this call until a StopIteration exception occurs, indicating no more pages exist.
