Operation description

Operation: /green/video/syncscan

You can call this operation to submit video moderation tasks and obtain moderation results in real time. For more information about how to construct an HTTP request, see Request structure. You can also select an existing HTTP request. For more information, see SDK overview.

Billing method:
You are charged for calling this operation. For more information about the billing method, seeContent Moderation Pricing.

If your moderation occurs in multiple scenarios at a time, you are charged the cumulative fee of all scenarios. The fee of each scenario equals the number of video frames that are moderated in the scenario multiplied by the unit price of the scenario.
Moderation object:
To call the /green/video/syncscan operation, you must submit a sequence of frames that are captured from the video to be moderated. If you need to submit a video URL to specify the video to be moderated, we recommend that you call the /green/video/asyncscan operation.
Limits on frames captured from a video:
- The video frames must use HTTP or HTTPS URLs.
- The video frames must be in the PNG, JPG, JPEG, BMP, GIF, or WEBP format.
- A video frame can be up to 10 MB in size. If you have special requirements, for example, you want to moderate larger images, submit a ticket to raise the threshold.
- We recommend that you submit video frames of at least 256 × 256 pixels to ensure the moderation effects.
- The response time of an operation for moderating videos varies based on the duration for downloading the frames that are captured from the videos. Make sure that you use a stable and reliable storage service to store the video frames to be moderated. We recommend that you use Alibaba Cloud Object Storage Service (OSS) or Content Delivery Network (CDN).

Table 3. result
Parameter	Type	Description
scene	String	The moderation scenario of the moderated video, which you specify in the moderation request. Valid values: porn: pornography detection terrorism: terrorist content detection live: undesirable scene detection logo: logo detection ad: ad violation detection
label	String	The category of the moderation result of the moderated video. Valid values vary based on the specified moderation scenario. If the scenes parameter is set to porn, the valid values are: normal: normal porn: pornographic content If the scenes parameter is set to terrorism, the valid values are: normal: normal terrorism: terrorist content If the scenes parameter is set to live, the valid values are: normal: normal live: undesirable scene If the scenes parameter is set to logo, the valid values are: normal: normal logo: logo If the scenes parameter is set to ad, the valid values are: normal: normal ad: ad or text violation
sublabel	String	If the scenes parameter is set to porn or terrorism, the subcategory of the moderation result can be returned. By default, this parameter is not returned. If you want this parameter to be returned, submit a ticket. This parameter can be returned only after it is configured by Alibaba Cloud engineers.
suggestion	String	The recommended subsequent operation for you to perform. Valid values: pass: The moderation object does not require further actions. review: The moderation object contains suspected violations and requires human review. block: The moderation object contains violations. We recommend that you delete or block the object.
rate	Float	The score of the confidence level. Valid values: 0 to 100. A greater value indicates a higher confidence level. If a value of pass is returned for the suggestion parameter, a higher confidence level indicates a higher probability that the content is normal. If a value of review or block is returned for the suggestion parameter, a higher confidence level indicates a higher probability that the content contains violations. Notice This score is for reference only. We strongly recommend that you do not use this score in your business. We recommend that you use the values that are returned for the suggestion, label, and sublabel parameters to determine whether the content contains violations. The sublabel parameter is returned by specific operations.
