codec-sdk 0.2.8

Python Library for the Codec API

Codec Python Library

The Codec Python library provides convenient access to the Codec API from applications written in Python 3.

Documentation

See the Codec docs.

Installation

You don't need this source code unless you want to modify the package. If you just want to use the package, just run:

pip install --upgrade codec-sdk

Requirements

Python 3.8+

Usage

The library needs to be configured with your team's API key which is available in the Codec Dashboard. Instantiate the Codec client with it:

from codec import Codec

codec = Codec("pk_xxx...")

# Get a collection
collection = codec.collections.get("col_xxx...")

# Search within videos in a collection
query = "trump wearing a red hat and talking about north korea"
results = codec.search(
    query=query,
    search_types=["visual", "speech"],
    collection=collection.uid,
    max_results=5
)

Handling exceptions

Unsuccessful requests raise exceptions. The class of the exception will reflect the sort of error that occurred, and the error message will provide more context. See the API reference for a description of the error classes you should handle.
