Codec is an SDK to understand video. Developers can use it to easily build applications that interface with the real world.

Codec is Python-first and can be used through our Python library. You can of course use some of its features through a REST API, but we recommend sticking to the Python library, as it has a lot of features the REST API cannot offer, such as debugging tools.

​
Installation

The Codec Python libary is distributed through PyPi. Run the following command in a virtual environment to install it:

pip install --upgrade codec-sdk

The Python Codec library supports Python 3.10+.
