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)

Upload a video file from disk into your Private Video Library for indexing and search. To pull a video from a remote URL instead, use Upload Video — from URL. For images, use Upload Image. The upload queues the video for asynchronous indexing. The response returns immediately with videoStatus: "UNPARSE"; register a callback URL or poll Get Metadata with the returned videoNo to know when indexing reaches PARSE.

Prerequisites

You have created a memories.ai API key.
Supported formats: .mp4, .avi, .mkv, .mov. Content-Type of the file part must start with video/.
Video codecs: h264, h265, vp9, hevc.
Max file size: 3 GB.

Request Example

Uses multipart/form-data. Send all non-file parameters as form fields, not JSON.

import requests, os

headers = {"Authorization": "sk-mavi-..."}
file_path = "my_video.mp4"

with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
    response = requests.post(
        "https://api.memories.ai/serve/api/v1/upload",
        headers=headers,
        files={"file": (os.path.basename(file_path), f, "video/mp4")},
        data={
            "folder_id": 671631448308117504,
            "callback": "https://your.app/callback",
            "datetime_taken": "2025-10-20 11:00:00",
            "camera_model": "Canon EOS 5D",
            "latitude": "39.9042",
            "longitude": "116.4074",
            "tags": ["tag1", "tag2"],
            "retain_original_video": True,
            "video_transcription_prompt": "Focus on spoken dialogue"
        }
    )
print(response.json())

Parameters

file

required

The video file. Extension must be .mp4, .avi, .mkv, or .mov and Content-Type must start with video/. Maximum 3 GB.

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

string

URL that receives a POST notification when the video finishes indexing. Maximum 299 characters.

datetime_taken

string

Capture time in yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss format (e.g. 2025-10-20 11:00:00). Invalid formats are rejected.

camera_model

string

Camera or device model name. Maximum 200 characters.

latitude

number

GPS latitude where the video was captured (decimal).

longitude

number

GPS longitude where the video was captured (decimal).

Response Example

    "code": "0000",
    "msg": "success",
    "data": {
        "videoNo": "VI568102998803353600",
        "videoName": "1be6a69f3c6e49bf986235d68807ab1f",
        "videoStatus": "UNPARSE",
        "uploadTime": "1744905509814"
    }
}

Response Fields

code

string

Business status code. 0000 indicates success.

msg

string

Human-readable status message.

data.videoNo

string

Unique identifier for the uploaded video. Use this in all subsequent operations.

data.videoName

string

Internal name assigned to the stored video.

data.videoStatus

string

Initial processing status. Always UNPARSE immediately after upload; transitions to PARSE once indexing completes.

data.uploadTime

string

Upload timestamp in milliseconds since epoch.

Knowing When Indexing Is Done

A successful upload returns videoStatus: "UNPARSE" — the video is queued for indexing but is not yet searchable. Two ways to wait for PARSE:

Approach	How
Push (recommended for production)	Provide a `callback` URL on upload; memories.ai POSTs to it when indexing completes.
Poll	Call Get Metadata with `video_no=<the videoNo above>` and check `data.status` until it becomes `PARSE`.

Do not use Get Task Status here. That endpoint is for batch Upload from Social Media tasks, which return a taskId. Single-file uploads return videoNo, not taskId.

Callback payload, if you registered one:

{
    "videoNo": "VI554046065381212160",
    "status": "PARSE"
}

Notes & Limits

Rate limiting: Exceeding the per-account upload rate limit returns an error. See Rate limits.
Concurrent indexing: There is a cap on how many videos can be in the indexing queue within a rolling 2-hour window. New uploads are rejected once the cap is reached until prior videos finish parsing.
Billing: Each upload deducts credits from your account. Insufficient balance causes the request to fail.
