Quickstart

Before you begin

1. Select or create a Cloud Platform project.
2. Enable billing for your project.
3. Enable the Google Cloud Video Intelligence API.
4. Set up authentication with a service account so you can access the API from your local workstation.

Installing the client library

npm install @google-cloud/video-intelligence

Using the client library

// Imports the Google Cloud Video Intelligence library
const videoIntelligence = require('@google-cloud/video-intelligence');

// Creates a client
const client = new videoIntelligence.VideoIntelligenceServiceClient();

// The GCS uri of the video to analyze
const gcsUri = 'gs://cloud-samples-data/video/cat.mp4';

// Construct request
const request = {
  inputUri: gcsUri,
  features: ['LABEL_DETECTION'],
};

// Execute request
const [operation] = await client.annotateVideo(request);

console.log(
  'Waiting for operation to complete... (this may take a few minutes)'
);

const [operationResult] = await operation.promise();

// Gets annotations for video
const annotations = operationResult.annotationResults[0];

// Gets labels for video from its annotations
const labels = annotations.segmentLabelAnnotations;
labels.forEach(label => {
  console.log(`Label ${label.entity.description} occurs at:`);
  label.segments.forEach(segment => {
    segment = segment.segment;
    if (segment.startTimeOffset.seconds === undefined) {
      segment.startTimeOffset.seconds = 0;
    }
    if (segment.startTimeOffset.nanos === undefined) {
      segment.startTimeOffset.nanos = 0;
    }
    if (segment.endTimeOffset.seconds === undefined) {
      segment.endTimeOffset.seconds = 0;
    }
    if (segment.endTimeOffset.nanos === undefined) {
      segment.endTimeOffset.nanos = 0;
    }
    console.log(
      `\tStart: ${segment.startTimeOffset.seconds}` +
        `.${(segment.startTimeOffset.nanos / 1e6).toFixed(0)}s`
    );
    console.log(
      `\tEnd: ${segment.endTimeOffset.seconds}.` +
        `${(segment.endTimeOffset.nanos / 1e6).toFixed(0)}s`
    );
  });
});

Supported Node.js Versions

Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule. Libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of Node.js.

Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and can be installed via npm dist-tags. The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version).

Legacy Node.js versions are supported as a best effort:

• Legacy versions will not be tested in continuous integration.
• Some security patches may not be able to be backported.
• Dependencies will not be kept up-to-date, and features will not be backported.

Legacy tags available

• legacy-8: install client libraries from this dist-tag for versions compatible with Node.js 8.

Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning.

This library is considered to be General Availability (GA). This means it is stable; the code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible ways unless absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or with an extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests against GA libraries are addressed with the highest priority.
