Quickstart

From zero to a playable clip in five minutes.

One command bootstraps every primitive into your agent runtime — or use the SDK directly.

pip install videodb

npm install videodb

npx skills add video-db/skills

Live · quickstart · v2.4.0

Skills, not SDKs. One command bootstraps every primitive. Claude Code · OpenAI · Cursor · n8n · Zapier — any agent that speaks tools.
Python & JavaScript. Same primitives in both. Server- and browser-side covered.
Same loop, every scale. From one clip to a corpus. The SDK that handles a 60-second screen capture handles a multi-million-hour archive.

Concepts

Four concepts. That's the whole API surface.

If you've built on a database, you've built on this.

01 / Media

The source.

Files, streams, cameras, captures, datasets.

02 / Indexes

Reusable layers.

Scenes, speech, objects, events, brands, domain logic.

03 / Memory

What you keep.

Scoped, queryable, retention-aware.

04 / Events

What you act on.

Discrete moments with context, evidence, and a clip.
