Some answers live in videos: a tutorial that shows the steps, a talk that makes the argument, a demo that proves the product. The hard part is finding the right one across the web. Octen Video Search searches the web for videos from a text query and returns ranked results with rich metadata, ready to preview, embed, or pass to a model. For the full list of parameters, see the Video Search API reference.In invite-only beta. Email support@octen.ai to request access.
Why Video Search
- Video lookup and clip discovery. Find the right video across the whole web from one query.
- Richer answers. Let assistants and apps reply with playable videos when showing beats telling.
- Reference for generation. Retrieved videos serve as real-world references for generation models, grounding image and video creation.
How It Works
- Send a text query.
- Octen searches videos across the web and ranks them.
- Each result returns the video and its source page, with title, description, cover image, duration, and publish time.
