FAQ
Redaction API questions, answered
What does the Video Redaction API actually do?
It lets developers embed VIDIZMO's AI-powered redaction directly into their own applications or workflows, automatically detecting and blurring faces, license plates, and other PII in video, audio, and document files rather than requiring manual frame-by-frame editing.
What types of content and PII can it redact?
It covers faces and license plates in video, along with personally identifiable information across audio and document files, so the same API can be used to handle mixed media evidence or records rather than needing separate tools per format.
How do we integrate it into our existing system?
It's built as an API, so it's meant to be embedded into your existing application, case management system, or media pipeline rather than used only as a standalone tool — redaction becomes a step you call programmatically as part of your own workflow.
Does it help with compliance requirements like HIPAA, GDPR, or FOIA?
Yes — it's designed to support redaction needs tied to HIPAA, GDPR, and FOIA requests, which typically involve removing PII or identifying details from records before they're shared or disclosed.
Can it handle redaction at scale?
Yes, it's built for automated, at-scale redaction rather than one-off manual edits, which matters if your organization processes large volumes of video, audio, or documents that need PII removed before release or storage.
Who is this API meant for?
It's aimed at organizations and developers who need to build automated redaction into their own products or internal systems — for example, agencies handling public records requests, or platforms managing video and document evidence with privacy obligations — rather than users who just need a manual redaction tool.
