Perplexity

Run automated Wistia analytics reports.

Need to know how many views a week ago? You can run `get_video_stats` from a cron job. This tool pulls video performance data without needing any GUI or editor. You pipe this output directly into a log file or another CI/CD step. The result is an auditable record of Wistia's current performance, perfect for nightly reporting pipelines.

Manage Wistia assets via CLI.

Your script needs to check if a project exists before deploying content. Use `list_projects` and then `get_project_details`. This entire sequence runs headless, making it ideal for pre-flight checks in a Docker container. Claude Code ensures the output is clean JSON that other shell scripts can easily ingest and process.

Update Wistia metadata from CI/CD.

A video needs its description updated before launch. You run `update_video_details` as a mandatory step in your deployment pipeline. This is reliable because it's script-driven, not manual. You can also use `create_project` to provision necessary resources automatically when the pipeline triggers, ensuring all prerequisites are met.
