# Video Intelligence API documentation

[Read product documentation](https://docs.cloud.google.com/video-intelligence/docs/features.md.txt)
The Video Intelligence API allows developers to use Google video
analysis technology as part of their applications. The REST API enables users
to annotate videos stored locally or in [Cloud Storage](https://docs.cloud.google.com/storage), or
live-streamed, with contextual information at the level of the entire video,
per segment, per shot, and per frame.
