Media fingerprint billing
Pricing
The following table lists the billable items and prices for media fingerprint in the Chinese mainland region.
Billing rules
Rules project | Rule details |
Billing rule | Billing is based on the total duration of successfully processed video files. The duration is measured in seconds, accumulated, and then converted to minutes for pay-as-you-go billing. Durations less than one minute are billed proportionally. No fees are charged for failed processing. |
Billing cycle | Bills are generated hourly. A bill is typically generated one hour after a billing cycle ends. The actual time of bill generation is subject to the system. Fees are automatically deducted from your account after a bill is generated. |
Billing method | Pay-as-you-go: Fee = Number of successfully processed video minutes × Unit price of the billable item. |
Billing example
Assume you use the media fingerprint service in the Chinese mainland region from 8:00 to 9:00. You submit videos with a total duration of 60,600 seconds. Of this duration, 60,000 seconds of video are processed successfully and processing fails for 600 seconds. The media fingerprint fee for this period is calculated as follows: 60,000 seconds / 60 × CNY 0.05/minute = CNY 50.
