Workflow
Metadata rides with the accepted download response
Video info does not require a separate account or endpoint. It is a download request option for products that need metadata before or alongside the final media file.
info.title and info.image
Read the info object
Use the returned title and thumbnail URL in previews, save dialogs, QA logs, moderation queues, or import screens.
/ajax/progress?id=JOB_ID
Poll separately
The metadata is available on the accepted response. Use the job id for progress and final file delivery.
Response
Read info.image and info.title directly
Keep metadata parsing simple: the structured info object is the contract for title and thumbnail fields. The content field is for generated UI snippets, not metadata extraction.

}Use cases
Use video metadata where developer trust depends on context
Title and thumbnail fields help products confirm the right source video, label jobs clearly, and make download flows easier to review.
Show a title and thumbnail preview before a user starts watching download progress.
Attach source metadata to downloaded media records, dashboards, or customer exports.
Validate that a pasted URL resolves to the expected video before storing the job.
Build internal QA or moderation workflows that need thumbnail and title context.
FAQ
Video info API questions
What does add_info=1 return?
When metadata is available, the accepted download response includes an info object with image for the thumbnail URL and title for the video title.
Does add_info=1 change pricing?
The request still follows the download endpoint pricing path for the selected format. Use the pricing page to estimate usage before production traffic.
Should I parse the content field for metadata?
No. Read the structured info object for title and thumbnail metadata, then use the returned id for progress polling.
Docs and pricing
Start with add_info, then use the normal download flow
The OpenAPI reference documents add_info, the response schema, and progress polling. Pricing stays tied to the selected download format and account usage.
