ApsaraVideo Media Processing:SubmitSnapshotJob

Last Updated:Mar 03, 2024

Submits a snapshot job.

Operation description

  • Only JPG images can be generated by calling this operation.
  • Asynchronous mode: This operation may return a response before snapshots are captured. Snapshot jobs are queued in the background and asynchronously processed by ApsaraVideo Media Processing (MPS). If the Interval or Num parameter is set, the snapshot job is processed in asynchronous mode. For more information about FAQ about capturing snapshots, see FAQ about taking snapshots.
  • Notifications: When you submit a snapshot job, the PipelineId parameter is required. An asynchronous message is sent only after the notification feature is enabled for the MPS queue.

QPS limit

You can call this operation up to 50 times per second per account. Requests that exceed this limit are dropped and you will experience service interruptions. We recommend that you take note of this limit when you call this operation. For more information, see QPS limit.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer.

Authorization information

There is currently no authorization information disclosed in the API.

Request parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDescriptionExample
InputstringYes

The information about the job input. The value must be a JSON object. You must add the Object Storage Service (OSS) bucket that stores the OSS object to be used as the job input as a media bucket in the MPS console. To add an OSS bucket as a media bucket, you can log on to the MPS console, choose Workflows > Media Buckets in the left-side navigation pane, and then click Add Bucket. After the OSS bucket is added as a media bucket, you must perform URL encoding for the OSS object. Example: {"Bucket":"example-bucket","Location":"example-location","Object":"example%2Ftest.flv"}. This example indicates the "example-bucket.example-location.aliyuncs.com/example/test.flv" object.

Note The OSS bucket must reside in the same region as your MPS service.
{"Bucket":"example-bucket","Location":"example-location","Object":"example%2Ftest.flv"}
SnapshotConfigstringYes

The snapshot configurations. For more information, see the "AliyunSnapshotConfig" section of the Data types topic.

Note If you set the Interval parameter that is nested under SnapshotConfig, snapshots are captured at the specified intervals. The default value of the Interval parameter is 10, in seconds. If an input video is short but you specify large values for both the Num and Interval parameters, the actual number of snapshots captured may be smaller than the specified number. For example, if you set the Num parameter to 5 and the Interval parameter to 3 for a video of 10 seconds, the number of snapshots captured cannot reach 5.
{"OutputFile":{"Bucket":"example-001","Location":"example-location","Object":"{Count}.jpg"},"Time":"5","Num":"10","Interval":"20"}
UserDatastringNo

The custom data. The custom data can contain letters, digits, and hyphens (-) and be up to 1,024 bytes in size. The custom data cannot start with a special character.

testid-001
PipelineIdstringNo

The ID of the MPS queue to which you want to submit the snapshot job. To obtain the ID, you can log on to the MPS console and choose Global Settings > Pipelines in the left-side navigation pane.

Note Make sure that an available Message Service (MNS) topic is bound to the specified MPS queue. Otherwise, the relevant messages may fail to be sent as expected.
