FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

How does Pydantic AI discover MCP tools?

Create an MCPServerHTTP instance with the server URL. Pydantic AI connects, discovers all tools, and generates typed Python interfaces automatically.

05

Does Pydantic AI validate MCP tool responses?

Yes. When you define result types as Pydantic models, every tool response is validated against the schema. Invalid data raises a clear error instead of silently corrupting your pipeline.

06

Can I switch LLM providers without changing MCP code?

Absolutely. Pydantic AI abstracts the model layer. your api.video Alternative MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
