About

The Video Object Recognition API uses advanced AI to detect and identify key objects within videos. Leveraging machine learning algorithms, it can recognize a wide range of objects, such as cars, toys, or everyday items, by analyzing visual data frame by frame.
This API is ideal for developers building applications that require video analysis, enhanced search functionality, or context-aware insights. Use cases include improving video search and recommendation systems, enabling augmented reality experiences, and generating metadata for content analysis.

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.
