Overview

This document provides an overview of APIs and SDK code samples for media screenshot.
API
Operation
Description
Querying screenshot
Query the screenshot of media file at some time point
Note:
Before using this API, make sure that the media processing feature has been enabled in the data processing section in the console; otherwise, the error media bucket unbinded, bucket's host is unavailable will be reported. For more information, see Enabling Media Processing.

Querying Screenshot (Memory)

Feature description

This API is used to get a screenshot of a media file at some time point and put the screenshot information in the memory buffer.

Method prototype

cos_status_t *ci_get_snapshot_to_buffer(const cos_request_options_t *options,
const cos_string_t *bucket,
const cos_string_t *object,
const ci_get_snapshot_request_t *snapshot_request,
cos_table_t *headers,
cos_list_t *buffer,
cos_table_t **resp_headers);

Parameter description

Parameter
Description
Type
options
COS request options.
Struct
bucket
Bucket name in the format of BucketName-APPID.
String
object
Object name.
String
snapshot_request
Request parameters for getting media screenshot.

String
rotate
Image rotation method
auto: Rotate automatically according to the video rotation information.
off: Do not rotate.
Default value: auto.
String
mode
Frame capturing method
keyframe: Capture the last keyframe before the specified time point.
exactframe: Capture the frame at a specified time point.
Default value: exactframe.
String
headers
COS request headers.
Struct
buffer
Returned screenshot content.
Struct
resp_headers
Returned HTTP response headers.
