This API can summarize long text inside ebooks into short important text for different kinds of readers, streamline research paper reviews for researchers, and extract critical details from technical manuals for engineers.

"summary": "Video thumbnails are an important tool for enhancing user experiences and optimizing content for SEO. They act as eye-catching previews of video content, improving visual appeal and user experience. Compelling thumbnails can increase video views and reinforce brand identity. In terms of SEO, well-optimized thumbnails can enhance click-through rates, reduce bounce rates, improve video engagement, and attract more traffic through rich snippets in search results. Video thumbnails are widely used in social media platforms, video sharing websites, e-learning platforms, video conferencing applications, video editing software, OTT streaming platforms, and digital advertising campaigns. There are several tools available to generate video thumbnails, such as Canva, Adobe Spark, FFmpeg, and YouTube Studio. ApyHub offers APIs to generate video thumbnails and watermarks programmatically. These tools can help optimize video thumbnails for better engagement and discoverability."

Authentication

All API requests to ApyHub services need to be authenticated. Currently we support tokens or basic authentication mechanisms. You can generate and view your existing credentials from your workspace settings (on the left side of the navbar) and go to “API Keys".
Points to note:
  • Credential secrets are generated on the fly and are not stored in plain text, so on generating a credential please save the secrets somewhere safe.
  • Use the apy-token as the header parameter to pass the token.
  • Use the Authorization header to send the basic authentication credentials.
