**Website:** https://www.twelvelabs.io  
**APIs profiled:** 6

TwelveLabs builds video-understanding foundation models (Marengo for search and embeddings, Pegasus for analyzing video and generating text). The TwelveLabs API lets developers upload and index video, run any-to-video semantic search, generate text from video (titles, topics, hashtags, summaries, chapters, highlights, and open-ended analysis), and create multimodal embeddings over a REST interface authenticated with an x-api-key header.
