Introduction

The WayinVideo API enables everyone to integrate AI-powered video processing into their automation workflows. Submit a video URL or uploaded file, and receive AI-generated clips, summaries, transcripts, and more.

Key Capabilities

• AI Clipping: Submit a long video and receive all clips ranked by viral potential, with auto-detected start/end timestamps, AI-generated titles, descriptions, and hashtags. Optionally export rendered clip videos.
• Find Moments: Describe the moments you want in natural language — such as "funny moments" or "talking about some topic" — and the API finds and extracts matching clips with timestamps, titles, and descriptions. Optionally export rendered clip videos.
• Video Summarization: Generate a structured overview, hashtags, and timeline highlights from any video.
• Video Transcription: Extract transcripts with speaker identification from video or audio content.

Supported Video Sources

The API accepts URLs from the following platforms:

• YouTube
• Vimeo
• Dailymotion
• Kick
• Rumble
• Zoom
• Twitch
• TikTok
• Facebook
• Instagram
• Google Drive

More platforms are coming soon.

You can also use locally uploaded files. Local upload requires a Standard plan or above. See the Upload API for details.

Base URL

All API requests are made to:

https://wayinvideo-api.wayin.ai/open/v2

Request Format

The API is RESTful and accepts JSON-formatted request bodies. All requests must include the following headers:

Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
x-wayinvideo-api-version: v2

Response Format

All responses are returned in JSON with a consistent envelope:

{
  "code": "0",
  "data": { ... },

Status Lifecycle

Many endpoints return an asynchronous processing status. The lifecycle is:

CREATED → QUEUED → ONGOING → SUCCEEDED / FAILED

Use polling to check the status until it reaches SUCCEEDED or FAILED.
