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:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGOofzZOyl8
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":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGOofzZOyl8", "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:
{
"dataAvailable": false,
"status": "INITIATED",
"pageUrl": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGOofzZOyl8",
"uuid": "24433077-1733-44f4-930c-4a2ce4f18173"
}
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/24433077-1733-44f4-930c-4a2ce4f18173/status
Verity API returns a JSON response with Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 showing the request has the following status:
{
"dataAvailable": false,
"status": "PROCESSING",
"pageUrl": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGOofzZOyl8",
"uuid": "24433077-1733-44f4-930c-4a2ce4f18173"
}
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 video 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/24433077-1733-44f4-930c-4a2ce4f18173
Example Video JSON Response Body
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.
