The Verity video analysis endpoints are:
| Verity API processes HTTP POST requests to initiate a new video analysis. |
| Verity API processes HTTP GET requests to return processed results. |
| Verity API processes HTTP GET requests to return the status of the video analysis. |
Example Video Request
This example shows a request to analyze 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:
{
"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:
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:
{
"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.
