FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I check if a video has finished encoding and is ready to play?

Yes! Use the get_video_status tool with the Video ID. It will return the ingestion and encoding status, letting you know exactly when the video is playable.

How do I upload a video file that is already hosted online?

You can use the upload_video_source tool. Just provide the Video ID and the public URL of the source file, and api.video will ingest it automatically.

Is it possible to see how many people watched my videos yesterday?

Absolutely. Use the get_metrics or get_metrics_timeseries tools to retrieve viewership data and performance analytics for your account or specific videos.

How does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?

Use MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.
