Video Endpoints

The Verity video analysis endpoints are:

POST /video/classification

Verity API processes HTTP POST requests to initiate a new video analysis.

GET /video/classification/{uuid}

Verity API processes HTTP GET requests to return processed results.

GET /video/classification/{uuid}/status

Verity API processes HTTP GET requests to return the status of the video analysis.

Example Video Request

This example walks through analyzing an english language video at the URL:

http://content.jwplatform.com/videos/00D9qbqJ-320.mp4

Step 1 – Submit a POST video classification request  

To start the video analysis, submit a POST request via curl to /video/classification. Include the required language code parameter:

curl -H 'x-api-key: <YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>' -X POST -d '{"url":"http://content.jwplatform.com/videos/00D9qbqJ-320.mp4", "languageCode": "en"}'  https://verity-api.gumgum.com/video/classification

Note: The url specified in the body must meet the following requirements:

  • Start with http:// or https://.

  • Have a properly URL-encoded address.

  • Any request parameter values must be properly URL-encoded.

Verity API returns a JSON response with  Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8  showing the request has the following status: 

Code Block
languagejson
{
    "uuid": "8f72c44b-05c8-4946-8c69-bcc98c655367",
    "url": "http://content.jwplatform.com/videos/00D9qbqJ-320.mp4",
    "acceptedAt": "2020-04-18T00:43:44.015+0000"
}

For a list of supported status messages, refer to Application Status Codes.

Step 2 – GET status of request

Submit a GET request to /video/classification/{uuid}/status, specifying the uuid  returned in the response in Step 1. Within a short period, once analysis of the video is complete, a status change occurs. For example:

Code Block
languagejs
curl -H 'x-api-key: <YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>' https://verity-api.gumgum.com/video/classification/123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426655440000/status

Verity API returns a JSON response with  Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8  showing the request has the following status: 

Code Block
languagejson
{
  "uuid" : "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426655440000",
  "status": "DOWNLOADING",
  "url": "http://content.jwplatform.com/videos/00D9qbqJ-320.mp4"
}

Step 3 – Get response

Submit a GET request to /video/classification/{uuid}, specifying the uuid returned in the response in step 1. Once the status changes to PROCESSED, the JSON page classification results are returned in the data payload. For example:

curl -H 'x-api-key: <YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>' https://verity-api.gumgum.com/video/classification/123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426655440000

The JSON response details the complete brand safety, keyword, and categorization analysis data for the video.  See JSON Response for details about the fields included in the response.
