The get video information feature retrieves metadata of a specified video resource. This article explains how to get video information using the TOS Python SDK.

Sample code

The following code shows how to get video information.

import json​
import os​
import tos​
from tos.enum import TierType​
from tos.models2 import RestoreJobParameters​
​
# Retrieve AKSK information from environment variables.​
ak = os.getenv('TOS_ACCESS_KEY')​
sk = os.getenv('TOS_SECRET_KEY')​
# Fill in "your endpoint" and "your region" with the corresponding Endpoint of the region where your Bucket is located. Taking the example of North China 2 (Beijing), fill in "your endpoint" with tos-cn-beijing.volces.com and "your region" with cn-beijing.​
endpoint = "your endpoint"​
region = "your region"​
bucket_name = "bucket-test"​
video_key = "video.mp4"​
style = "video/info"​
​
try:​
    # Create a TosClientV2 object to perform operations on buckets and objects.​
    client = tos.TosClientV2(ak, sk, endpoint, region)​
    client.put_object_from_file(bucket=bucket_name, key=video_key, file_path=video_key)​
    object_stream = client.get_object(bucket=bucket_name, key=video_key, process=style)​
    video_info = json.load(object_stream)​
    print(video_info)​
except tos.exceptions.TosClientError as e:​
    # Operation failed, catch client error, usually caused by invalid request parameters or network issues​
    print('fail with client error, message:{}, cause: {}'.format(e.message, e.cause))​
except tos.exceptions.TosServerError as e:​
    # Operation failed, catch server error, detailed error information can be obtained from the response​
    print('fail with server error, code: {}'.format(e.code))​
     # request id can be used to locate specific issues, it is strongly recommended to save it in the log.​
    print('error with request id: {}'.format(e.request_id))​
    print('error with message: {}'.format(e.message))​
    print('error with http code: {}'.format(e.status_code))​
    print('error with ec: {}'.format(e.ec))​
    print('error with request url: {}'.format(e.request_url))​
except Exception as e:​
    print('fail with unknown error: {}'.format(e))​
