Client libraries

While you can use Video Intelligence by making direct requests, we provide client libraries for several popular languages. Video Intelligence client libraries are built on Google Cloud Client Libraries. This common infrastructure provides functionality for API-specific library implementations, but it also provides types and methods that you may use directly when using any Cloud API.
