# Veedcrawl: Video Intelligence API for AI Agents

> Veedcrawl turns public social media videos into transcripts, metadata, and structured AI insights. Start with 50 free credits — no credit card required.

Veedcrawl gives AI agents and developers instant access to the content inside social videos. Send a public YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, or Facebook URL to the API and get back structured metadata, spoken transcripts, or a direct answer to any question you ask about the video — in one consistent response format.

## How it works

Every Veedcrawl response is designed so an AI system can work with video the same way it works with text. Start with a metadata lookup to understand the video, layer in a transcript to read what was said, then use extraction to get a structured answer to any question.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Get your API key">
    Sign up at [veedcrawl.com](https://veedcrawl.com/login). New accounts receive 50 free credits — no credit card required.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fetch video metadata">
    Pass any public video URL to `GET /v1/metadata` to retrieve title, author, view counts, duration, and more.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pull the transcript">
    Use `POST /v1/transcript` to get the full spoken content with timestamps, using native captions or AI-generated speech-to-text.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Extract structured insights">
    Use `POST /v1/extract` with a custom prompt to turn any video into hooks, product mentions, claims, summaries, or any structured output you define.
  </Step>
