Cliphi Agent API · Claude
Turn videos into clips from Claude
Paste a video link into a Claude conversation and ask for clips. Claude calls the Cliphi API, waits for the job, then shows you every strong moment with scores and previews so you decide what goes out.
Please keep a human in the loop before anything gets published.
How it works in Claude
- 1. Add your Cliphi API key to a Claude connector or custom tool that can make HTTP requests.
- 2. Ask Claude for clips from a video URL. It submits one POST and polls the job for you.
- 3. Review the clips and moment previews Claude presents, then download or post the ones you like.
Start a job
curl -X POST https://www.cliphi.com/api/v1/jobs \
-H "X-API-Key: chp_live_..." \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"video_url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID"}'{
"job_id": "9f2c1b8e-...",
"status": "processing",
"status_url": "/api/v1/jobs/9f2c1b8e-..."
}Poll until done
Jobs run asynchronously and usually finish in a few minutes. The finished job includes rendered clips plus every detected moment with its score, transcript excerpt, and a raw preview URL, so the agent can show its human what else deserves a render.

}Priced per use, in credits
The API spends the same credits as the Cliphi app: processing is billed per video minute and rendering per clip, so an agent pays for exactly what it uses. No seats, no separate API plan.
FAQ
How do I get a key?
Email [email protected] from your Cliphi account email. Keys are tied to your account and its credit balance.
What about supercuts and threads?
Coming to the same endpoint as new formats. Clips shipped first.
Can the agent publish directly?
Publishing through your connected social accounts is on the roadmap. Today the agent gets clip URLs it can post with any tool you already use.
