How this service works
$0.0002/call. Inspect any media file via ffprobe — duration, container, streams, codecs, dimensions, bitrate as JSON. 1¢ x402 min; remainder auto-credits — relaystation.ai/penny
Output
A JSON object containing the full ffprobe output: container format name, duration in seconds, overall bitrate, and an array of stream objects each with codec name, codec type (video/audio), dimensions (width/height for video), sample rate and channel layout (for audio), and other technical parameters.
Example use cases
Validate uploaded video specs
“I just uploaded a video to our S3 bucket at https://cdn.example.com/uploads/video123.mp4 — can you probe it and tell me its codec, resolution, and whether it has an audio stream?”
Check podcast audio duration
“Before I publish this episode, can you inspect https://mypodcast.com/episodes/ep42.mp3 and give me the exact duration and audio codec?”
Diagnose incompatible media container
“This video at https://assets.myapp.com/clip.mkv keeps failing to play in our web player — can you probe it and tell me what container, video codec, and audio codec it's using?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.relaystation.ai/v1/media/probeWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need fast, structured technical metadata about any media file without downloading or processing it yourself. It is ideal for pre-flight validation of user uploads, quality checks in media pipelines, or feeding codec/dimension data into downstream transcoding decisions. Prefer this over manual ffprobe invocations when operating in a serverless or agent context that cannot run local binaries.
Side effects
- Unreachable or invalid media URL returns an error with no probe data
- Unsupported or corrupted file format may return partial or empty stream info
- Very large files may time out before probing completes
- Non-media files (e.g. plain HTML pages) return an error indicating no media streams found
