1. API Description

Domain name for API request: vod.tencentcloudapi.com.

This API is used to search for media information and supports filtering and sorting the returned results in many ways. It can:

  • Fuzzily search by multiple media filenames Names or multiple descriptions Descriptions.

  • Search by multiple filename prefixes (NamePrefixes).

  • Specify the category set ClassIds (please see the input parameters) and return the media files in any category in the set. For example, assuming that there are categories of Movies, TV Series, and Variety Shows, and there are subcategories of History, Action, and Romance in the category of Movies, if Movies and TV Series are specified in ClassIds, then all the subcategories under Movies and TV Series will be returned; however, if History and Action are specified in ClassIds, only the media files in those two subcategories will be returned.

  • Specify the tag set Tags (please see the input parameters) and return the media files with any tag in the set. For example, assuming that there are tags of ACG, Drama, and YTPMV, if ACG and YTPMV are specified in Tags, then any media files with either tag will be retrieved.

  • Specify the source set SourceTypes (please see the input parameters) and return the media files from any source in the set. For example, assuming that there are Record (LVB recording) and Upload (upload) sources, if Record and Upload are specified in SourceTypes, then any media files from those sources will be retrieved.

  • Specify the creation time range to filter media files.

  • Specify the file type set Categories (please see the input parameters) and return the media files in any type in the set. For example, assuming that there are Video, Audio, and Image file types, if Video and Audio are specified in Categories, then any media files in those types will be retrieved.

  • Specify the file ID set FileIds and return the media files with any ID in the set.

  • Specify the stream ID set StreamIds (please see the input parameters) to filter LVB recording media files.

  • Specify the video ID set Vids (please see the input parameters) to filter LVB recording media files.

  • Specify a single text string Text to fuzzily search for media filenames or descriptions (this is not recommended. Names, NamePrefixes, or Descriptions should be used instead).

  • Specify a single stream ID StreamId for search (this is not recommended. StreamIds should be used instead).

  • Specify a single video ID Vid for search (this is not recommended. Vids should be used instead).

  • Specify a single creation start time StartTime for search (this is not recommended. CreateTime should be used instead).

  • Specify a single creation end time EndTime for search (this is not recommended. CreateTime should be used instead).

  • Specify a single media file source SourceType for search (this is not recommended. SourceTypes should be used instead).

  • Mix and match any parameters above for search. For example, you can filter the media files with the tags of "Drama" and "Suspense" in the category of "Movies" or "TV Series" created between 12:00:00, December 1, 2018 and 12:00:00, December 8, 2018. Please note that for any parameter that supports array input, the search logic between its elements is "OR", while the logical relationship between all parameters is "AND".

  • Sort the results by creation time and return them in multiple pages by specifying Offset and Limit (please see the input parameters).

  • Control the returned types of media information through Filters (all types will be returned by default). Valid values include:

    1. Basic information (basicInfo): media name, category, playback address, cover image, etc.
    2. Metadata (metaData): size, duration, video stream information, audio stream information, etc.
    3. Information of the transcoding result (transcodeInfo): addresses, video stream parameters, and audio stream parameters of the media files with various specifications generated by transcoding a media file.
    4. Information of the animated image generating result (animatedGraphicsInfo): information of an animated image (such as .gif) generated from a video.
    5. Information of a sampled screenshot (sampleSnapshotInfo): information of a sampled screenshot of a video.
    6. Information of an image sprite (imageSpriteInfo): information of an image sprite generated from a video.
    7. Information of a point-in-time screenshot (snapshotByTimeOffsetInfo): information of a point-in-time screenshot of a video.
    8. Information of a timestamp (keyFrameDescInfo): information of a timestamp set for a video.
    9. Information of adaptive bitrate streaming (adaptiveDynamicStreamingInfo): specification, encryption type, muxing format, etc.
Upper limit of returned results:
- The Offset and Limit parameters determine the number of search results on one single page. Note: if both of them use the default value, this API will return up to 10 results. - Up to 5,000 search results can be returned, and excessive ones will not be displayed. If there are too many search results, you are recommended to use more specified filters to narrow down the search results.

A maximum of 100 requests can be initiated per second for this API.
