Get insights about a video
Warning
On October 30, 2020, the Bing Search APIs moved from Azure AI services to Bing Search Services. This documentation is provided for reference only. For updated documentation, see the Bing search API documentation. For instructions on creating new Azure resources for Bing search, see Create a Bing Search resource through the Azure Marketplace.
Each video returned by the Bing Video Search API includes a video ID that you can use to get more information about it, such as related videos. To get insights about a video, get its videoId token in the API response.

"videoId" : "6DB795E11A6E3CBAAD636DB795E11A6E3CBAAD63",

Afterwards, send a GET request to the Video details endpoint with the ID. Set the id query parameter to the videoId token. To specify the insights that you want to get, set the modules query parameter. To get all insights, set modules to All. The response includes all the insights that you requested, if available.
