AI agent video enhancement API

The garbage-in problem for video agents

AI agents are only as good as their inputs. When an agent receives degraded video:

• License plate readers can't read blurry plates
• Face matching fails on low-resolution faces
• Action recognition misses subtle movements in noisy footage
• Scene captioning gets vague descriptions from unclear scenes

Enhancement is cheap compared to the cost of bad outputs or missed information.

Integrating enhancement into your agent

Add BetterVideo as a tool your agent can call:

# Pseudocode for an agent tool
def enhance_video(video_url: str) -> str:
    job = bettervideo.submit(video_url, resolution="1080p")
    job.wait()  # or use webhook
    return job.download_url

# Agent decides when to use it
if video_quality == "low":
    video_url = enhance_video(original_url)
result = vision_model.process(video_url)

The agent can conditionally enhance only when needed, or always preprocess for consistency.

Agent-scale privacy

Agents process video from many users without human review. Every video that passes through your agent carries data-handling implications. BetterVideo keeps that clean:

• No training on user video
• No selling or sharing
• Automatic deletion on schedule

Your users get privacy guarantees even when you're processing at agent scale.

One API call — curl, Python & Node

Submit a video by URL, then poll GET /v1/jobs/{id} until done (or receive a signed webhook), and fetch a time-limited download link:

curl -X POST https://api.bettervideo.io/v1/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"video_url":"https://.../clip.mp4","resolution":"1080p"}'

import requests
r = requests.post("https://api.bettervideo.io/v1/jobs",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_KEY"},
    json={"video_url": "https://.../clip.mp4", "resolution": "1080p"})
job = r.json()  # poll GET /v1/jobs/{job['id']} until status == "done"

const res = await fetch("https://api.bettervideo.io/v1/jobs", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_KEY", "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({ video_url: "https://.../clip.mp4", resolution: "1080p" })
});
const job = await res.json();

Privacy is the default, not an upgrade

• Never trained on. Pre-trained, fixed-weight models — your frames are enhanced and returned, never used to train AI.
• Never sold or shared. No third parties, no data brokers, no "anonymized" resale.
• Auto-deleted. Files self-delete (default 30 days), or delete any job instantly with one call.
• Proof on the Secure tier. Every deletion can return a signed deletion certificate, with a full audit log.
