Participate in the Symbl.ai Summarization API challenge in the month of December for your chance to win a pair of AirPods Pro. The challenge should only take a few minutes, and all you have to do is auto generate a summary of your favorite video with our Summarization API. The Summarization API is one of the latest Symbl.ai’s Labs creations, and we would like you to help us test it out. To participate in the challenge, simply follow the instructions below.
1. Sign in to your Symbl.ai account. If you don’t have an account, create one for free – it only takes 2 mins, and you get free credits to use.
2. Review our Summarization and POST Video API Docs
3. Submit your favorite video to Symbl.ai’s Async API. This will return a "conversationId".
- If you have a locally downloaded file, follow the steps in https://docs.symbl.ai/docs/async-api/overview/video/post-video. Make sure to update your endpoints like so:
POST https://api-labs.symbl.ai/v1/process/video?enableSummary=true - If you have a URL, follow the steps in https://docs.symbl.ai/docs/async-api/overview/video/post-video-url. Make sure to update your endpoints like so:
POST https://api-labs.symbl.ai/v1/process/video/url?enableSummary=true
Add the following 2 modifications in order to enable the summarization feature!
- Make sure to update Symbl.ai API’s base URL from
"https://api.symbl.ai"to"https://api-labs.symbl.ai". - Make sure to add the query parameter of
?enableSummary=true.
4. When the video is finished processing, you can extract summarization by making a simple REST endpoint call to ‘GET https://api-labs.symbl.ai/v1/conversations/{conversationId}/summary’. Below is a code snippet in Javascript with the ‘request’ module.
const request = require('request'); const authToken = AUTH_TOKEN;;
url: `https://api-labs.symbl.ai/v1/conversations/{conversationId}/summary`,
headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${authToken}` },
json: true }, (err, response, body) => {
console.log(body); });5. Tweet a screenshot to @symbldotai or post on LinkedIn tagging Symbl.ai of the summary text you generated with the hashtags #BuildWithSymbl #SymblGiveaway, along with a link (only if you used a video URL) to the video you processed
6. Tweets/posts must be posted by December 29, 2021 to qualify.
**We will randomly select two winners on Dec 30, 2021.
