Processing Pipeline

`POST /api/v1/file/:file_uuid/process`

Auth: Required Scope: file-level

Trigger the processing pipeline for a registered file. Creates a monitor job that the worker picks up and processes sequentially. Returns immediately with the job info—processing runs asynchronously in the background.

Request Parameters

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
`processors`	string[]	No	all	Specific processors to run: `["cut","asr","asrx","yolo","ocr","face","pose","visual_chunk","story","5w1h"]`
`rules`	string[]	No	all	Rule names to apply (currently unused)

Example

# Run all processors
curl -s -X POST "$API/api/v1/file/$FILE_UUID/process" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $KEY" -d '{}'

# Run specific processors only
curl -s -X POST "$API/api/v1/file/$FILE_UUID/process" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $KEY" \
  -d '{"processors": ["asr", "face", "yolo"]}'

`GET /api/v1/progress/:file_uuid`

Auth: Required Scope: file-level

Get real-time processing progress for a file via Redis pub/sub. Includes per-processor status, current/total frames, ETA, and system resource stats.

Pipeline Order

Order	Processor	Dependencies	Description
1	`cut`	—	Scene detection
2	`asr`	cut	Speech-to-text (per scene)
3	`asrx`	asr	Speaker diarization
4	`yolo`	—	Object detection
5	`ocr`	—	Text recognition
6	`face`	—	Face detection & embedding
7	`pose`	—	Pose estimation
8	`visual_chunk`	yolo	Visual scene chunks
9	`story`	asr, asrx, cut, yolo, face	Scene summaries (template)
10	`5w1h`	story	5W1H analysis (Gemma4 LLM)

All processors except story and 5w1h run concurrently when their dependencies are met. Story and 5W1H run sequentially after their prerequisites.
