The following is a sample for video indexing using Azure libraries:

import requests

import time

import os

# Replace these with your actual values

AZURE_VIDEO_INDEXER_API_URL = "https://api.videoindexer.ai"

AZURE_LOCATION = "westus2" # e.g., "westus2"

AZURE_ACCOUNT_ID = "your-account-id"

AZURE_API_KEY = "your-api-key"

VIDEO_FILE_PATH = "path/to/your/video.mp4"

# Step 1: Get an access token

def get_access_token():

    url = f"{AZURE_VIDEO_INDEXER_API_URL}/auth/{AZURE_LOCATION}/Accounts/{AZURE_ACCOUNT_ID}/AccessToken"

    headers = {

        "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key": AZURE_API_KEY

    }

    response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)

    return response.text.strip('"')

# Step 2: Upload video and start indexing

def upload_and_index_video(video_file_path, access_token):

    video_name = os.path.basename(video_file_path)

    url = f"{AZURE_VIDEO_INDEXER_API_URL}/{AZURE_LOCATION}/Accounts/{AZURE_ACCOUNT_ID}/Videos?name={video_name}&accessToken={access_token}&privacy=Private"

    with open(video_file_path, 'rb') as video_file:

        files = {'file': video_file}

        response = requests.post(url, files=files)

    return response.json()

# Step 3: Wait for indexing to complete and get insights

def get_video_insights(access_token, video_id):

    url = f"{AZURE_VIDEO_INDEXER_API_URL}/{AZURE_LOCATION}/Accounts/{AZURE_ACCOUNT_ID}/Videos/{video_id}/Index?accessToken={access_token}"

    while True:

        response = requests.get(url)

        data = response.json()

        if data['state'] == 'Processed':

            return data

        time.sleep(10) # Wait 10 seconds before checking again

# Step 4: Main workflow

access_token = get_access_token()

video_data = upload_and_index_video(VIDEO_FILE_PATH, access_token)

video_id = video_data['id']

insights = get_video_insights(access_token, video_id)

print("Video highlights and key insights:")

print("=" * 50)

# Extract highlights: keyframes, topics, and summarization

if 'summarizedInsights' in insights and ‘themes’ in summarizedInsights:

    for theme in insights['summarizedInsights']['themes']:

        print(f"Theme: {theme['name']}")

        for highlight in theme['keyframes']:

            print(f" Keyframe at {highlight['adjustedStart']} to {highlight['adjustedEnd']}")

            print(f" Thumbnail: {highlight['thumbnailId']}")

            print(f" Description: {highlight.get('description', 'No description')}")

else:

    print("No summarization available. See full insights:", insights)
