Media Inspector API

The Media Inspector API enables users to analyze and examine multimedia files comprising images, videos, and audio. With this API, developers can easily identify and inspect the contents of these files, allowing for efficient processing and retrieval of media-related information.

About the API:

The Media Inspector API is a powerful tool designed to facilitate the identification and inspection of files that contain various forms of media, including images, videos, and audio. With its robust functionality and ease of integration, this API provides developers with the means to efficiently analyze and extract valuable information from multimedia files.

One of the key features of the Media Inspector API is its ability to identify the presence of different types of media within a file. By leveraging advanced algorithms and techniques, the API can accurately detect and categorize images, videos, and audio tracks, even within complex file structures. This allows developers to automate the identification process, saving valuable time and effort.

In addition to identification, the Media Inspector API offers comprehensive inspection capabilities. It provides detailed metadata extraction, enabling developers to access essential information about media files, such as resolution, duration, format, and codec details. This information can be crucial for various applications, ranging from media management systems to content recommendation engines.

The API also supports content analysis for images and videos. It can analyze images to extract features like dominant colors, object recognition, and facial detection. For videos, it can extract keyframes, detect scenes, and perform video analysis tasks like object tracking or activity recognition. These features open up possibilities for applications such as content moderation, visual search, or video content indexing.

Moreover, the Media Inspector API supports audio analysis. It can extract metadata from audio files, including information about the format, bitrate, and duration. Additionally, it offers capabilities for speech recognition, audio transcription, and audio fingerprinting, allowing developers to build applications that process and understand audio content.

The Media Inspector API is designed with developer-friendliness in mind. It provides a straightforward integration process, with clear documentation and code examples. Developers can easily incorporate the API into their applications, regardless of the programming language or environment they are working with.

In conclusion, the Media Inspector API is a versatile solution for identifying and inspecting files containing images, videos, and audio. By leveraging its powerful features, developers can automate the processing of multimedia files, extract valuable metadata, and perform advanced content analysis. This API opens up a wide range of possibilities for applications in fields such as media management, content recommendation, content moderation, and more.

The Media Inspector API supports a wide range of file formats for images, videos, and audio, including popular formats such as JPEG, PNG, MP4, AVI, WAV, and MP3. For a comprehensive list of supported formats, please refer to the API documentation.

The Media Inspector API is primarily designed for batch processing and offline analysis of media files. While it provides fast and efficient processing, it may not be suitable for real-time applications that require immediate analysis or processing of media content. For real-time scenarios, alternative solutions or custom implementations may be more appropriate.

No, the Media Inspector API cannot extract metadata or analyze the contents of encrypted or DRM-protected media files. The API can only process and analyze media files that are in a readable and accessible format.

Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.

Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the world’s most reliable payment companies. If you have any trouble paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]

Additionally, if you already have an active subscription in any of these currencies (USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, GBP), that currency will remain for subsequent subscriptions. You can change the currency at any time as long as you don't have any active subscriptions.

The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.

Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges. Also, you can access the Billing Portal and change the card associated to make the payment. If these does not work and you need further assistance, please contact our team at [email protected]

Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.

API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.

Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.

To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.

To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, look at the β€˜X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining’ header. For example, if your plan allows 1000 requests per month and you've used 100, this header will show 900.

To see the maximum number of API requests your plan allows, check the β€˜X-Zyla-RateLimit-Limit’ header. For instance, if your plan includes 1000 requests per month, this header will display 1000.

The β€˜X-Zyla-RateLimit-Reset’ header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3600, it means 3600 seconds are left until the limit resets.

Yes, you can cancel your plan anytime by going to your account and selecting the cancellation option on the Billing page. Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Additionally, upon cancellation, you will no longer have access to the service, even if you have remaining calls left in your quota.

You can contact us through our chat channel to receive immediate assistance. We are always online from 8 am to 5 pm (EST). If you reach us after that time, we will get back to you as soon as possible. Additionally, you can contact us via email at [email protected]

To let you experience our APIs without any commitment, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make API calls at no cost during this period. Please note that you can only use this trial once, so make sure to use it with the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs provide a free trial, but some may not support it.

After 7 days, you will be charged the full amount for the plan you were subscribed to during the trial. Therefore, it’s important to cancel before the trial period ends. Refund requests for forgetting to cancel on time are not accepted.

When you subscribe to an API trial, you can make only 25% of the calls allowed by that plan. For example, if the API plan offers 1000 calls, you can make only 250 during the trial. To access the full number of calls offered by the plan, you will need to subscribe to the full plan.
