Video Summary SDK for Python

Enhance your video processing workflow with the Video Summary SDK for Python. This SDK offers a powerful and easy-to-use solution for transcribing, summarizing, and extracting chapter information from videos. It supports a wide range of sources, including local files and hosted URLs.

Key Features

• Transcription: Accurately convert speech in videos into text.
• Summarization: Efficiently summarize video content.
• Chapter Extraction: Easily identify and extract distinct chapters from videos.
• Versatile Source Support: Compatible with local files, URLs, and various cloud storage solutions.

Installation

Install the package using pip:

pip install video-summary

Getting Started

First, obtain your free API key from VideoSummary.io. Then, install the SDK and integrate it into your Python projects as follows:

from video_summary import VideoSummarySDK

# Initialize the SDK with your API key
video_summary = VideoSummarySDK('your_api_key')

# Example usage
try:
    # Local file path or hosted video URL
    video_path = './path/to/your/video.mp4'
    result = video_summary.summarize(video_path)
    print("Video Summary Result:", result)
except Exception as e:
    print("Error using Video Summary SDK:", e)

API Methods

The Python SDK offers several methods to interact with your videos. The id and callback_url parameters are optional. The id can be used for your reference if you have an asset ID. The callback_url is for receiving a webhook when the video processing is completed.

If you don't provide a callback url, the call will be synchronous and wait for the processing to complete.

summarize(url, [id], [callback_url])

Summarizes the video content. Provide the URL of the video, and optionally, include an ID and a callback URL for asynchronous processing.

transcribe(url, [id], [callback_url])

Transcribes the audio content of the video into text. Input the video URL, and if desired, an ID and a callback URL.

chapter(url, [id], [callback_url])

Extracts chapters from the video for easier navigation and understanding. This method requires the video URL, with optional ID and callback URL.

summarizeAndChapter(url, [id], [callback_url])

Performs both summarization and chapter extraction on the video. Provide the video URL, and optionally, an ID and a callback URL.

Each method returns a response object containing relevant data about the video processing, including transcripts, summaries, chapters, and file IDs.
