# Measure a short video's pacing, with no API key

**Use case:** 

Give it a short-form video file URL and get its scene count, cut timings, duration and resolution back as JSON, with no API key and no model called. This is the free preview: it costs the $0.01 run charge and nothing per video. Add your own Anthropic key to the same task for the full read of each video: how it opens, how it is built, its on-screen text and a 0 to 10 rating.

## Input

```json
{
  "videoUrls": [
    "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/Bfr82R8zp35dJRkcL/records/autotest-clip.mp4"
  ],
  "maxVideos": 3,
  "framesPerVideo": 6,
  "includeOnScreenText": true,
  "language": "en",
  "visionProvider": "anthropic"

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [TikTok/Reels/Shorts Format Analyzer: hook, structure, score](https://apify.com/frameprobe/reel-teardown.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/frameprobe/reel-teardown.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/frameprobe/reel-teardown.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
