API

Overview

The Video Query API provides endpoints that enable agile, user-in-the-loop mining of video datasets. Rather than requiring an upfront specification of actions and investment in labeling data for those actions, Video Query API embraces early exploration by a user of evolving questions and ideas. The effort spent increases only as the user iterates to, focuses down on, and validates a particular line of inquiry. This app enables agile browsing through a large dataset, in order to discover and zoom in on relevant data in a dynamic and interactive way.

Running the API Server

python3 manage.py runserver

Optional for development: If you want to see the API server from a browser, go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/. You do not need to open this URL to use the client.
