Two ranked groups: visual (frames matching the phrase, or a shot-log line) and spoken (transcript sentences, with speaker where known); a recording answers in spoken alone. like, instead of query, finds shots that look like a moment of a video or a picture. refs or folder index the videos named first; refs with no query indexes without searching. index, visual_unavailable and on_computers (a video only on a computer, searched there) say what was not searched. search_library finds whole items; this finds moments inside them. inspect_media mode shot_log lists one video's shots in order. Free over what is indexed; indexing is cloud processing. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi.json post /tools/search_footage openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Eversince API version: '1' description: >- Every Eversince tool as one POST call, plus the routes beside them: the tool list, account and keys, uploads, webhooks and models.
