apply.
If you are requesting annotations for videos for over 100,000 minutes of video
per month, then contact a sales representative to discuss discount
pricing.
Example
If your application made the following requests in a particular month:
1000 label detection requests, each containing a 1m22s long video.
100 explicit detection requests, each containing a 1m15s long video.
Your cost would be:
Each request is 1m22s or 82 seconds long and there are 1000 such requests.
Calculating in minutes, we have (82*1000)/60 = 1366.66 minutes of label
detection. The first 1000 minutes are free; the additional 366.66 minutes
cost $0.10 per minute, totaling $36.67.
Each request is 1m15s or 75 seconds long and there are 100 such requests.
Calculating in minutes, we have (75*100)/60 = 125 minutes of explicit content
detection. The first 1000 minutes per month are free, so there's no charge
for these requests.
Total cost is $36.67.
