Available Tools

Typical Workflow

1. Upload a video with upload_video_from_url

2. Poll with get_task_status until status is PARSE

3. Analyze using transcription, summary, search, or chat tools

Important Notes

• video_no ≠ task_id: Upload returns a task_id. Use get_task_status to get the video_no needed by all other tools.

• Async processing: Videos must reach PARSE status before analysis tools work. Error code 0001 means still processing.

• Platform batching: Multiple URLs in one upload must all be from the same platform.

• Public library is permanent: Videos uploaded to the public library cannot be deleted.
