Besides the number of API calls per month:
The Get Media Details endpoint returns metadata about the provided media file, including information such as format, duration, size, bit rate, and details about video and audio streams.
Key fields in the response include "url," "status," "format," "duration," "size," "bitRate," and an array of "streams" that detail codec type, dimensions, frame rate, and pixel format.
The returned data is structured in JSON format, containing a main object with metadata fields and an array of stream objects, each detailing specific attributes of the media file.
The endpoint provides information on media format, duration, size, bit rate, and detailed stream attributes such as codec type, resolution, and frame rate for both video and audio.
The response data is organized into a main object that includes general media information and a "streams" array that contains detailed attributes for each media stream, allowing for easy access to specific data.
Fields like "duration" indicate the total playback time, "bitRate" shows the data rate of the media, and "streams" provide detailed information about each media stream, such as "codec" and "resolution."
Data accuracy is maintained through robust scanning algorithms that analyze the media file's properties, ensuring that the returned metadata reflects the actual characteristics of the file.
Typical use cases include validating user-uploaded media, enforcing quality standards (like resolution and bit rate), displaying media metadata for user interfaces, and making informed encoding decisions based on file properties.
