# Compress Video
|
|
|
|
Shrink video file size using configurable compression strength and optional resolution downscaling.
|
|
|
|
## API Endpoint
|
|
|
|
`POST /api/v1/tools/video/compress-video`
|
|
|
|
Accepts multipart form data with a video file and a JSON `settings` field. This is an async endpoint - it returns `202 Accepted` immediately and progress is streamed via SSE at `GET /api/v1/jobs/{jobId}/progress`.
|
|
|
|
## Parameters
|
|
|
|
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|
|
|-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
|
|
| quality | string | No | `"balanced"` | Compression strength: `light`, `balanced`, `strong` |
|
|
| resolution | string | No | `"original"` | Output resolution: `original`, `1080p`, `720p`, `480p` |
|
|
|
|
## Example Request
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/video/compress-video \
|
|
-H "Authorization: Bearer si_your-api-key" \
|
|
-F "file=@clip.mp4" \
|
|
-F 'settings={"quality": "strong", "resolution": "720p"}'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Example Response
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"jobId": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
|
|
"async": true
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- The `light` preset preserves near-original quality. The `strong` preset reduces file size aggressively at the cost of visual fidelity.
|
|
- Downscaling resolution (e.g. from 4K to 720p) compounds with compression for significant size reduction.
|
|
- Progress updates are available via SSE at `GET /api/v1/jobs/{jobId}/progress` until the job completes.
