# Queue a video for Items & Characteristics classification

`POST /classify/items-characteristics/video`

This endpoint queues job that predicts the Items & Characteristics categories of a single video.

The request must contain either file (a multi-part form encoded video file) or url (a string containing a url to a video file)

Example CURL:
```
curl -i -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer {API_TOKEN}" -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data"  -F "file=@video.mp4;type=video/mp4"  https://api.unitary.ai/v1/classify/items-characteristics/video
```

A job ID will be returned in the response.

If `callback_url` is included in the request then results will be POST'd to this URL once the video has been classified.

Alternatively results can be obtained by making a GET request to results endpoint using the job ID.

**Webhooks should be implemented for any use of this endpoint at scale to prevent unnecessary polling of the results endpoint.**
