Perplexity

Fetch specific video details

The `get_video` tool retrieves all the metadata for a given video ID. This means you get titles, descriptions, and upload dates—all available right in your code context. You can use this data to build out functions that check video availability before calling other APIs.

Build user-centric scripts

Start by running `list_user_videos` to pull a list of all videos uploaded by a specific account. This output feeds directly into your code, letting you iterate over the data without writing boilerplate loops. Need to know who follows them? Use `list_user_followers`. The response structure is clean and ready for immediate use.

Manage video uploads programmatically

Your agent can call `create_video_upload` when you need to trigger a new asset. You'll receive the ticket ID right in your code, letting you track its status. When done with an old clip, `delete_video` executes the removal, and that result is available for your subsequent logic.
