Run AI-powered analysis on a previously uploaded audio/video file.

​
Overview

Similar to Analyze Video, but operates on files in your library.

​
Request Body

  • file_id (string, required): ID of the uploaded file to analyze
  • query (string, optional): Ask a specific question about the content

​
Billing

File analysis consumes analysis_request units based on context size. One unit covers up to 15,000 total tokens, and longer contexts are billed with ceil(total_tokens / 15000). For example, an analysis that uses 17,000 total tokens consumes 2 analysis_request units.

​
