# Trigger clip-suggestion analysis

`POST /v1/media/{id}/suggestions`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.cueframe.ai`
- URL: `https://api.cueframe.ai/v1/media/{id}/suggestions`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - OAuth 2 (authorization code, authorization URL `https://api.cueframe.ai/api/auth/mcp/authorize`, token URL `https://api.cueframe.ai/api/auth/mcp/token`, scopes: `media:write`)
  - API key in header `PAYMENT-SIGNATURE`

Analyze a video for its best short-form moments — returns ranked clip suggestions with trims, hooks, titles, captions, hashtags, and platform fit for turning long footage into shorts. Async: returns 202; poll GET /media/:id/suggestions for the ranked results.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Response `202`

Analysis triggered.

- SuggestionsTriggerResponse: POST /media/:id/suggestions response.
  - `status` 'queued' | 'running' | 'complete' | 'failed', required
  - `alreadyRunning` boolean

## Other responses

- `400`: Bad request — validation_error / invalid_cursor / invalid_query.
- `401`: Missing or invalid Authorization header.
- `402`: Payment required. Returned when the caller presents no API key on a priced operation: the body AND the `Payment-Required` header carry the x402 v2 challenge (accepted scheme, network, USDC asset, amount, payTo). Sign the EIP-3009 authorization and retry with a `PAYMENT-SIGNATURE` header. A KEYED caller sees this status instead when their plan lacks or has exhausted the feature (`billing_required`).
- `403`: Forbidden — permission insufficient.
- `404`: Resource not found.
- `409`: Conflict — stale_etag / idempotency_conflict / suggestions_already_complete.
- `422`: Unprocessable — invalid_composition / media_in_use / session_in_use / render_not_cancellable.
- `429`: Rate limited. Retry-After header present.
- `500`: Internal error.
