Which Library Does Your Upload Go To?
Visual Search has two private libraries. Each upload method writes to a specific library — they are not interchangeable.
The Private Video Library and Private Image Library are completely separate. They have different upload endpoints, different search endpoints, and return different result formats. Uploading a video never affects your image library, and vice versa.
How Indexing Works
1
Upload
Send a video or image to the appropriate upload endpoint. Videos go to your Private Video Library; images go to your Private Image Library.
2
Automatic Indexing
The platform processes content through two pipelines in parallel:
- Embedding — visual frames and audio are encoded into semantic vectors, enabling natural-language and image search
- Caption & transcription — the platform generates descriptions and transcribes spoken audio, enabling text-level search
3
Searchable
Once indexing completes, the content is fully searchable. Status changes from
UNPARSE to PARSE.Indexing Status
How to wait for indexing to finish
The right polling endpoint depends on which upload method you used, because the two paths return different identifiers:
In every case you can register a
callback URL at upload time to receive a push notification instead of polling.
