Submit the video to the API

If your video is less than 1 minute long, you can use the synchronous API. Do so by submitting a public URL to the video or live stream.

    
    
curl -X GET \
     'https://api.sightengine.com/1.0/video/check-sync.json?models={models}&stream_url=https://d3m9459r9kwism.cloudfront.net/stream/examples/funfair.mp4&api_user={api_user}&api_secret={api_secret}'
    
  
    
    
# if you haven't already, install the SDK with "pip install sightengine"
from sightengine.client import SightengineClient
client = SightengineClient('{api_user}', '{api_secret}')
client.check({models}).video_sync('https://d3m9459r9kwism.cloudfront.net/stream/examples/funfair.mp4')
    
  
    
    
// if you haven't already, install the SDK with "composer require sightengine/client-php"
use \Sightengine\SightengineClient;
$client = new SightengineClient('{api_user}', '{api_secret}');
$client->check([{models}])->video_sync('https://d3m9459r9kwism.cloudfront.net/stream/examples/funfair.mp4');
    
  
    
    
// if you haven't already, install the SDK with "npm install sightengine --save"
var sightengine = require('sightengine')('{api_user}', '{api_secret}');
sightengine.check([{models}]).video_sync('https://d3m9459r9kwism.cloudfront.net/stream/examples/funfair.mp4').then(function(result) {
  // The API response (result)
}).catch(function(err) {
  // Handle error
});

If your video is longer than 1 minute or is a live stream then you should use the Asynchronous API. Head to our API documentation for more details.
