Request body

videoIdstring required

Create a summary of a video using the video ID.

origin'auto'

Use this parameter to define how the API generates the summary. The only allowed value is auto, which means that the API generates a summary automatically.

If you do not set this parameter, the API will not generate a summary automatically.

In this case, sourceStatus will return missing, and you have to manually add a summary using the PATCH /summaries/{summaryId}/source endpoint operation.

attributesstring[]

Use this parameter to define the elements of a summary that you want to generate. If you do not define this parameter, the API generates a full summary with all attributes. The possible values are abstract and takeaways.

Example request

sourceStatus'missing' | 'waiting' | 'failed' | 'completed' | 'unprocessable'

Returns the current status of summary generation.

missing: the input for a summary is not present. waiting : the input video is being processed and a summary will be generated. failed: a technical issue prevented summary generation. completed: the summary is generated. unprocessable: the API rules the source video to be unsuitable for summary generation. An example for this is an input video that has no audio.
