Overview
Detect and cleanly remove embedded captions, subtitles, or text overlays from video frames using AI inpainting.
Primary Endpoint
/api/v1/userCaptionRemoval/startCreate an asynchronous caption-removal task for the submitted source video and return the record used to monitor processing. ### Request - Send a valid bearer token. The server evaluates the operation in the authenticated caller's access context. - Send an `application/json` body. Required fields: `name`, `source_url`. - API-token callers may include `webhook_url` and `webhook_token` for best-effort terminal-state notifications; ordinary JWT/cookie calls ignore these fields. ### Behavior - This is an asynchronous operation: a successful submission creates a task and returns before processing finishes. - Persist the returned task identifier and use the corresponding detail or list operation to observe progress. - Treat the detail endpoint as the source of truth even when webhook delivery is enabled. ### Response - A `200` response confirms task acceptance; it does not by itself mean media generation has completed. - Retain the returned identifier and wait for a documented terminal status before using output URLs. - JSON object responses, including error responses, normally carry a top-level `trace_id` string for this request; include it when contacting support. It is not a task identifier. - Do not infer undocumented fields or statuses; clients should tolerate additional response properties. ### Errors - `400` — Bad Request - Invalid parameters. - `401` — Unauthorized - Invalid or missing JWT token. ### Related Operations - `GET /api/v1/userCaptionRemoval/allRecords` — Get all task records. - `GET /api/v1/userCaptionRemoval/{_id}` — Get task details. - `DELETE /api/v1/userCaptionRemoval/{_id}` — Delete caption removal task. Authentication: set header Authorization: Bearer <token> (supports user JWT or sk_ API token).
