VideoMetadata / fps in REST

[gitlabspy]

from google import genai
from google.genai import types

# Only for videos of size <20Mb
video_file_name = "/path/to/your/video.mp4"
video_bytes = open(video_file_name, 'rb').read()

client = genai.Client()
response = client.models.generate_content(
    model='models/gemini-3-flash-preview',
    contents=types.Content(
        parts=[
            types.Part(
                inline_data=types.Blob(
                    data=video_bytes,
                    mime_type='video/mp4'),
                video_metadata=types.VideoMetadata(fps=5)
            ),
            types.Part(text='Please summarize the video in 3 sentences.')
        ]
    )
)

How can I put fps in the REST request?

Hi @gitlabspy
Thanks for reaching out!
Please find below snippet to pass fps in REST:

{
      "contents": [{
        "parts":[
            {"text": "Please summarize the video in 3 sentences."},
            {
              "file_data": {
                "file_uri": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hE5-98ZeCg",
                "mime_type": "video/mp4"
              },
          "video_metadata": {
            "fps": 2
          }
            }
        ]
      }]
    }
