PiiBlur

Video Redaction API

How do I redact videos with an API?

1Upload an MP4, MOV, or WebM file to /api/v1/media/redact.
2Select PII categories such as heads, license_plates, screens, and street_signs.
3Wait for the media.processed webhook or poll the media endpoint, then download the redacted video.

Compliance note

PiiBlur supports visual redaction workflows and can help reduce exposure as one step in a broader privacy or compliance program. It does not certify GDPR, CCPA, FERPA, HIPAA, SOC 2, CJIS, FOIA, or medical compliance. Consult legal or compliance counsel for your specific obligations.

How to call the video redaction API

Use multipart uploads for images and videos. Redaction jobs are asynchronous, so production workflows should poll the media endpoint or listen for webhook events.
