Submit the video to the API

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


curl -X GET -G 'https://api.sightengine.com/1.0/video/check-sync.json' \
  --data-urlencode 'stream_url=https://sightengine.com/assets/stream/examples/funfair.mp4' \
  -d 'models={model}' \
  -d 'api_user={api_user}' \
  -d '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}')
output = client.check('{model}').video_sync('https://sightengine.com/assets/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}');
$output = $client->check(['{model}'])->video_sync('https://sightengine.com/assets/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(['{model}']).video_sync('https://sightengine.com/assets/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 Async Video API. Head to our API guide or our API reference for more details.

    -d 'callback_url=https://your.callback.url/path' \
    -d 'api_user={api_user}' \
    -d 'api_secret={api_secret}'
