Python Client for Google Cloud Video Intelligence
=================================================

|beta| |pypi| |versions|

`Google Cloud Video Intelligence`_ API makes videos searchable, and
discoverable, by extracting metadata with an easy to use API.
You can now search every moment of every video file in your catalog
and find every occurrence as well as its significance. It quickly
annotates videos stored in `Google Cloud Storage`_, and helps you
identify key nouns entities of your video, and when they occur
within the video. Separate signal from noise, by retrieving
relevant information at the video, shot or per frame.

Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Install this library in a `virtualenv`_ using pip. `virtualenv`_ is a tool to
create isolated Python environments. The basic problem it addresses is one of
dependencies and versions, and indirectly permissions.

With `virtualenv`_, it's possible to install this library without needing system
install permissions, and without clashing with the installed system
dependencies.
