Video Thumbnail

by AgentUtility.ai in Search & web

x402 APIPassing, checked 30 min ago

Pull a single still frame out of a video without transcoding the whole file. Send a video_url and pick frame_type: first, middle, or last, and get back a hosted JPG with its width and height. Runs on fal.ai's ffmpeg extract-frame pipeline, so it's fast because it only decodes the frame it needs. Use it as a video thumbnail generator, video frame extractor, video-to-image converter, or preview-image API for video libraries, CMS thumbnails, and content moderation previews.

Call it from code

The curl command shows the payment challenge. The JavaScript and Python versions pay and call, and never pay more than $0.03.

curl: see the payment challenge
# bash or zsh: see the payment challenge. Nothing is charged.
curl -sS -g -i -X POST 'https://x402.agentutility.ai/video-thumbnail' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{"frame_type":"middle","video_url":"https://www.w3schools.com/html/mov_bbb.mp4"}'

# x402 v2 sends the challenge base64-encoded in the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header (v1 sends it in the body).
# To read the header:
curl -sS -g -o /dev/null -D - -X POST 'https://x402.agentutility.ai/video-thumbnail' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{"frame_type":"middle","video_url":"https://www.w3schools.com/html/mov_bbb.mp4"}' \
  | grep -i '^payment-required:' | cut -d' ' -f2 | tr -d '\r' | base64 --decode
