ExportImageHashDatabase

Exports an image hash database to a file, so that it can be imported into a different training database.

Type: asynchronous

Parameter Description Required
database The name of the database to export. Yes
dbpath

The path of the file to create, containing the data. Specify an absolute path, or a path relative to the Media Server executable file. Media Server must be permitted to write to the path (see AllowedOutputDirectoryCSVs).

Yes
includeimagedata A Boolean value (default true) that specifies whether to export the training images. You can run analysis without the images, but future enhancements to image hash analysis might require retraining and this is not possible without the images. No
includemetadata A Boolean value (default true) that specifies whether to export custom metadata. No

Example

The following example exports the database named "ImageHashes":

/action=ExportImageHashDatabase&database=ImageHashes
                               &dbpath=./exported/ImageHashes.dat

Response

This action is asynchronous, so Media Server always returns success accompanied by a token. You can use this token with the QueueInfo action to retrieve the status of your request.
