Cliphi Agent API · Zapier
Turn new videos into clips with Zapier
A Webhooks by Zapier step submits the video to Cliphi; a later step fetches the finished clips. Trigger it from YouTube uploads, Drive files, or a form, and let the Zap carry clips onward.
Please keep a human in the loop before anything gets published.
How it works in Zapier
- 1. Webhooks step: POST /api/v1/jobs with the video URL and your key header.
- 2. Delay, then GET the status URL; loop with a filter until completed.
- 3. Use the clip URLs in any downstream action you already have.
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.
curl https://www.cliphi.com/api/v1/jobs/9f2c1b8e-... \

}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.
