Submit a video URL for AI-generated content detection. The endpoint is asynchronous - it returns 201 Created immediately, and the detection results are delivered to your webhook URL once processing is complete. Authentication is required. See Login for how to obtain a bearer token.

Try it without writing code - open the Video Detection Playground to submit a sample video and inspect the webhook response in your browser.

AI Video Detection is a new endpoint and the official Copyleaks SDKs (Python, JavaScript, Java, C#, PHP, Ruby) don’t yet expose a wrapper method. The code samples below call the HTTP API directly. SDK support is planned - until then, use the raw HTTP pattern.

Path parameters

string

required

A unique scan id provided by you. We recommend using the same id in your database to represent the scan in the Copyleaks database - this helps debug incidents and avoid duplicate scans for the same file. See criteria for creating a Scan ID.>= 3 characters <= 36 charactersMatch pattern: [a-z0-9] !@$^&-+%=_(){}<>';:/.",~`|

Headers

Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_LOGIN_TOKEN

Body parameters

string

required

Publicly accessible URL of the video file to analyze.Example: "https://example.com/my-video.mp4"

array

Optional custom headers to include when Copyleaks fetches the video from the provided url. Each entry is a two-element array: ["Header-Name", "Header-Value"].Example: [["X-Custom-Auth", "my-token"]]

string

Describes the HTTP method that is going to be executed on the specified url. Supported values: GET, POST, PUT.

string

required

The name of the video file including its extension.Requirements:

Must include a supported video extension
<= 255 characters

Supported extensions: .mp4, .avi, .mov, .mkv, .webm, .flv, .wmv, .mpg, .m4v, .3gp, .mxfExample: "my-video.mp4"

string

required

The AI detection model to use for analysis.

AI Video 1 Pro: "ai-video-1-pro"

Example: "ai-video-1-pro"

object

required

Webhook configuration for receiving the async results.

Show properties

string

required

The URL that Copyleaks will POST the detection results to when processing is complete.Example: "https://your-server.com/webhook/receive-results"

array

Optional custom headers to include in the webhook request. Each entry is a two-element array: ["Header-Name", "Header-Value"].Example: [["Authorization", "Bearer my-webhook-token"]]

boolean

default:"false"

Use sandbox mode to test your integration with the Copyleaks API without consuming any credits. Submit videos for AI detection and receive mock results simulating the API. Intended for development purposes only.

string

An optional string payload that Copyleaks will include in the webhook response, allowing you to correlate the callback with your internal data.Example: "order-id-12345"

For testing, set "sandbox": true. Sandbox mode is free and returns mock results.

Video requirements

Returned as 400 Bad Request at submit (synchronous):

Missing or invalid scanId, filename, url, model, or webhooks
Unsupported file extension
Filename longer than 255 characters
Invalid verb value

Delivered to your webhook as an error result (asynchronous, after download):

Duration outside 2 seconds-1 hour → video_too_short (67) / video_too_long (68)
File larger than 512 MiB → file_too_large (6)
Resolution below 360×360 → video_resolution_too_low (65)
Frame rate below 16 FPS → fps_too_low (66)
Undecodable codec → unsupported_video_codec (71)
Corrupt or truncated file → video_truncated (70)
Generic decode failure → video_load_failed (72)

Webhook payload

When processing completes, Copyleaks sends a POST request to your webhook URL with the detection results. See AI Video Detection Response for the complete field reference.
