Product: Visual Search Use case: Upload videos and images, auto-index them, then search by natural language, image, or transcript phrase Host: https://api.memories.ai/serve/api/v1 Auth: Authorization: sk-mavi-... (no Bearer prefix)

Import up to 50 post URLs in one request into your Private Video Library — searchable by your account only. All URLs must be from the same platform. Related endpoints: Import from Post URLs — Public (shared library) · Import from Creator Profile · Import from Hashtag. Example URLs:

TikTok:    https://www.tiktok.com/@cutshall73/video/7543017294226558221
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/DNu8_Fs4mSd/
YouTube:   https://www.youtube.com/shorts/T2ThsydNQaM

Prerequisites

You have created a memories.ai API key.

Request Example

import requests

headers = {"Authorization": "sk-mavi-..."}
payload = {
    "video_urls": [
        "https://www.tiktok.com/@cutshall73/video/7543017294226558221",
        "https://www.tiktok.com/@abcnews/video/7543794552365124919"
    ],
    "folder_id": 671631448308117504,
    "callback_url": "https://your.app/callback",
    "quality": "1080"
}
response = requests.post(
    "https://api.memories.ai/serve/api/v1/scraper_url",
    json=payload,
    headers=headers
)
print(response.json())

Parameters

video_urls

array

required

List of post URLs to import. Combined with tiktok_post_urls (if provided), the total must not exceed 50 URLs. All URLs must be from the same platform.

tiktok_post_urls

array

Additional TikTok post URLs. Merged server-side with video_urls before processing. Counts toward the 50-URL cap.

folder_id

integer

Optional. Target folder for the uploaded video(s). Omit (or pass -1) to store in your account’s Default folder (created automatically on first use). Pass a folder id from List Folders or Create Folder to store in that folder — it must belong to your account, otherwise the request is rejected.

callback_url

string

URL to receive POST notifications on task progress and per-video indexing completion. The server also accepts the alias callback — pick one and stick with it per project.

quality

string

default:"720"

Target resolution. One of "360", "480", "720", "1080", "1440", "2160". For YouTube, the actual resolution will be ≤ the requested value based on source availability. For TikTok and Instagram, videos are scraped at their original resolution.

Response Example

{
    "code": "0000",
    "msg": "success",
    "data": {
        "taskId": "31b0fccb-d6f9-4135-922d-1e8828499812"
    },
    "success": true,
    "failed": false
}

Response Fields

code

string

Business status code. 0000 indicates success.

msg

string

Human-readable status message.

data.taskId

string

Unique identifier for the import task. Use with Get Task Status to check progress, or match against callback notifications.

Next Steps

Poll Get Task Status with the returned taskId until each derived video’s status reaches PARSE. Empty data.videos covers both “still downloading” and “task_id not found” — combine with a client-side timeout. FAIL is common for DRM-protected YouTube content.

Notes & Limits

Rate limiting: See Rate limits.
Billing: Each request deducts credits. YouTube URLs consume additional credits.
Same-origin constraint: All URLs in one request must be from the same platform — mixed-platform batches are rejected.
YouTube: Indexing may be slower than TikTok or Instagram due to scraper capacity.

Authorizations

Authorization

string

header

required

Body

application/json

video_urls

string<uri>[]

]

tiktok_post_urls

string<uri>[]

Optional TikTok post URLs. Server merges these into video_urls before processing. Counts toward the 50-URL cap.

callback_url

string<uri>

Callback URL for task-complete and per-video indexing-complete notifications.

Example:

"https://your.app/callback"

quality

enum<string>

default:360

1080,

1440,

2160

Example:

Example:

671631448308117500
