| extract_url | Start an AI extraction of a YouTube video, podcast, article, or PDF URL on CoreWise. Returns an extraction_id immediately after initialization. Initialization normally takes a few seconds but can take up to 2 minutes for videos without captions or for PDFs. The extraction itself then runs for 1-7 minutes: poll with get_extraction every 20-30 seconds until status is 'completed'. Results include a cross-validated synthesis plus per-model summaries. Requires an API key (create one at corewise.video, Profile page, 'API & MCP Keys'). Each call consumes one extraction from the key owner's monthly quota. |
| get_extraction | Get the status and results of a CoreWise extraction by id. While status is 'processing', poll every 20-30 seconds. When status is 'completed' the response contains the structured synthesis (JSON object: summary, takeaways, highlights, notable quotes) and per-model markdown summaries. Works on your own extractions (API key required) and on public community extractions. |
| get_transcript | Get the raw source transcript (or article/PDF text) of a CoreWise extraction by id. Available as soon as the extraction has been initialized — no need to wait for 'completed'. Transcripts can be very long, so results are paged: pass 'offset' and 'max_chars' to fetch further chunks when 'truncated' is true. Works on your own extractions (API key required) and on public community extractions. |
| search_public_extractions | Search CoreWise's public community library of extractions (videos, podcasts, articles, and PDFs already analyzed by other users). Returns titles, snippets, and share URLs. Useful to check whether a video has already been extracted before starting a new extraction. No API key required. |
