Intelligent Media Management:BatchIndexFileMeta

Last Updated:Jan 27, 2026

This operation performs a batch index of object metadata by processing input files for tasks such as label detection, face detection, and location detection. The object metadata is then indexed into a dataset to support various data retrieval methods.

Operation description

  • Before you use this API, review the billing methods and pricing of Intelligent Media Management.

  • For a list of supported data processing tasks, see Define a workflow.

  • The files to be indexed are subject to limits on their total number and size. For more information about dataset limits, see Limits. For information about how to create a dataset, see the parameter descriptions.

  • For information about the regions that support file indexing, see the dataset and index information in Limits.

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.
