AI interpretation — verify before relying

AI-generated interpretation of the package facts above; every digit, version, license, or vulnerability id it cites is grounded in the facts already shown on this page

Python client library for Google Cloud Video Intelligence API, enabling detection of objects, explicit content, and scene changes in videos with support for asynchronous and streaming APIs.

Low friction: pure Python wheel with five standard Google Cloud dependencies (google-api-core, google-auth, grpcio, proto-plus, protobuf). Actively maintained with recent release 52 days ago; repository shows 5370 stars and current Python 3.10+ support.

Apache-2.0 permissive license allows commercial and private use with minimal restrictions; you must include a copy of the license and state significant changes, but no reciprocal licensing of derivative works is required.

Usage

pip install google-cloud-videointelligence

from google.cloud import videointelligence

client = videointelligence.VideoIntelligenceServiceClient()
operation = client.annotate_video(request={"input_uri": "gs://bucket/video.mp4"})

Requires Python >= 3.10; Google Cloud project setup and authentication credentials (via google-auth) must be configured before API calls will succeed.

Verdict: Stable, actively maintained Google Cloud client library with low install friction and permissive licensing. No known vulnerabilities and broad Python version support (3.10–3.14) make it production-ready for video analysis workloads requiring Google Cloud integration.

Needs verification

Whether the library supports local video files or only Cloud Storage URIs
Specific pricing and quota limits for the underlying Video Intelligence API service
Whether streaming API requires additional setup beyond standard authentication
