Quick Start

First, make sure you have Cloudglue set up by following the setup guide.

​
Create a Collection and Add Videos

Using Cloudglue’s Chat Completion API, you can have natural conversations about your video content. The API enables you to ask questions, get summaries, and extract insights from your video collections. When you make a chat request, Cloudglue intelligently searches through your video transcripts, scene descriptions, and detected text to provide accurate, context-aware responses with relevant citations. To chat with your videos, you’ll need to:
  1. Create a media description collection
  2. Add the videos to your collection
  3. Start chatting!
Here’s how to do it:
  • Python
  • Node
from cloudglue import CloudGlue

# Initialize client (API key will be loaded from environment)
client = CloudGlue()

# Create a media description collection
collection = client.collections.create(
    name='my-video-collection',
    collection_type='media-descriptions'
)

# Upload two video files
video1 = client.files.upload(
    'path/to/first/video.mp4',
    wait_until_finish=True
)
video2 = client.files.upload(
    'path/to/second/video.mp4',
    wait_until_finish=True
)

# Add videos to collection (waits for processing to complete)
client.collections.add_video(
    collection_id=collection.id,
    file_id=video1.id,
    wait_until_finish=True
)
client.collections.add_video(
    collection_id=collection.id,
    file_id=video2.id,
    wait_until_finish=True
)

# Chat with your videos!
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who let the dogs out?"}
]

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    messages=messages,
    model="nimbus-001",
    collections=[collection.id]
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
