  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \

Error Handling

Important: Video highlight extraction can take significant time for long videos. Always set your HTTP client timeout to at least 10 minutes to avoid premature disconnection.

Best Practices

Input Video

• Format: MP4 with H.264 codec works best
• Quality: Higher resolution enables better moment detection
• Length: For videos over 2 hours, consider processing in segments

Prompt Tips

• Specify the number of highlights you want
• Describe the types of moments to look for
• Mention desired clip length
• Indicate output format requirements (aspect ratio, duration)

Output Optimization

• Use max mode for final deliverables
• Use eco mode for quick previews and iteration
• Leverage session_id for multi-turn refinement
