Index video content with summaries and speech-to-text to enable fast searching and discovery.

The Workflow

Overview

This workflow generates a summary (with title, description, and tags) and transcribes speech.

We can save this intelligence data to our database, and use it to populate our search indexes.

Build Workflow

A workflow is an array of task definitions that describe what should happen and in what order.

Tasks in the array run in parallel. You can also chain tasks together in sequences using the next property.

Create Run

We create a new run by sending a POST request to /runs with our workflow as the tasks array.

curl -X POST "https://api.ittybit.com/runs" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ITTYBIT_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
  "tasks": [
    {
      "kind": "ingest",
      "options": {
        "url": "https://example.com/your-video.mp4"
      },
      "next": [
        { "kind": "summary" },
        { "kind": "speech" }
      ]
    }
  ]
}'

Handle Webhook

Set up a webhook to receive task completion events and save the output data in your database.
