How this service works
20 paid AI and data micro-tasks over HTTP 402 on Base (USDC): summarize, extract, keywords, sentiment, translate, rewrite, proofread, python_debug, code_lint, code_explain, code_refactor, code_review, json_minify, json_query, csv_to_json, hash, base64, convert, describe_image, probe_media. Each call is priced per-task and verified on-chain before execution.
Output
A text string describing the probed media resource, including detected format, type, accessible status, duration or size if available, and any other extractable metadata about the media at the given URL.
Example use cases
Pre-process media before pipeline ingestion
“Before I run my transcription pipeline, probe this audio file URL and tell me what format it is, how long it is, and whether it's accessible: https://cdn.example.com/podcast-episode-42.mp3”
Verify media asset in content workflow
“I just received this media link from a supplier — can you probe it and tell me what it actually is, what format, and any key metadata? URL: https://uploads.vendor.com/asset-9912.mp4”
Inspect unknown media URL for compatibility
“I'm not sure if this media file is compatible with my video player — probe this URL and tell me everything you can about it: https://storage.example.com/unknown-clip.webm”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://hermesmicroservice.theworkpc.com/probe_media?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to inspect or verify a media URL's properties before processing, ingesting, or displaying it — especially in automated pipelines where media format compatibility or accessibility must be confirmed. Prefer this over describe_image when the media type is unknown or non-image (audio, video, streaming). This is ideal for agentic workflows where paying $0.15 USDC per call via HTTP 402 on Base is acceptable for reliable, on-chain-verified media probing.
Side effects
- Media URL is inaccessible or returns a 404, resulting in an error or empty response
- URL points to a non-media resource, causing unexpected or generic output
- Payment not confirmed on-chain before execution, resulting in HTTP 402 rejection
- Prompt field missing or malformed, causing a validation error
- Large or slow-loading media files may cause timeout or incomplete probe results
