video-indexer

This is a Node.js wrapper for the Microsoft Cognitive Services Video Indexer API, currently in preview. Per the Video Indexer API website, its features include:

• Convert audio to text based on acoustic language models
• Find when each face appears in the video
• Map and understand who spoke when
• Extract text that appears in videos as overlay, slides or background
• Understand who is the person that appears in the video
• Separate background noise and voice activity
• Detect when a scene changes based on visual analysis
• Understand the level of positive vs. negative spoken or written content
• Translate source audio into the language of your choice.
• Detect and prevent explicit visual content
• Find out the key words discussed in each segment
• Automatically detect key frames

Installation

npm install video-indexer

Usage

Grab a free API key by signing up here and clicking on your account name, then "Profile." Replace "your_api_key" below with the API key for local testing.

const vindexer = require("video-indexer");
const Vindexer = new vindexer("your_api_key");

// Upload video via a URL and generate intelligent insights. If no URL is specified, the file should be passed as a multipart/form body content.
Vindexer.uploadVideo({
    // Optional
    videoUrl: "http_://_video_url_dot_/video.mp4",
    name: 'My video name',
    privacy: 'Private', 
    language: 'English', 
    externalId: 'customvideoid',
    description: 'Check out this great demo video!',
    partition: 'demos'
})
    .then( function(result){ console.log (result.body) } );

// Get full insights from previously-processed video
Vindexer.getBreakdown("your_video_id")
    .then( function(result){ console.log (result.body) } );;
