AI-Powered Product Categorization for Videos

Videos Product Categorization

The videos vertical encompasses a diverse range of physical and digital video media products spanning from premium 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray collector's editions and standard DVD releases to digital download codes, streaming gift cards, and even vintage VHS tapes that remain popular with collectors and nostalgia enthusiasts. With the ongoing transition from physical to digital media and the continued demand for collectible physical editions featuring exclusive bonus content, accurate product categorization has become essential for video retailers, media distributors, and entertainment marketplaces. Our AI-powered categorization API automatically classifies video products into the correct taxonomy categories across all major e-commerce platforms, ensuring your movies, TV series, documentaries, and special interest videos reach the right audience of entertainment consumers searching for exactly what you sell.

Video products require precise categorization due to the multiple format options available for the same content, the distinction between different disc formats and quality tiers, and the growing complexity of digital distribution models. A 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray of a blockbuster film requires different taxonomy placement than the standard Blu-ray, DVD, or digital download version of the same title. The distinction between movies, TV series box sets, documentaries, special interest videos, and educational content adds additional layers of complexity that our sophisticated machine learning models understand completely. We have trained our AI on millions of video product listings across every major entertainment marketplace, learning the nuanced relationships between formats, genres, ratings, and category hierarchies that determine optimal product placement for maximum visibility and sales conversion.

Whether you are selling Blu-ray movies on Amazon, listing DVD box sets on eBay, managing a Google Shopping feed for digital video downloads, categorizing documentary collections for educational marketplaces, or classifying vintage VHS tapes for collectors, our API handles the complete complexity of video product taxonomy mapping with exceptional precision and speed. We support automatic classification into Google Product Taxonomy, Amazon Browse Nodes, Shopify Standard Product Taxonomy, and eBay categories, ensuring your video products are properly categorized regardless of where you sell them. The API recognizes studio names, director credits, cast information, genre indicators, format specifications, and content ratings to deliver accurate results for theatrical releases, direct-to-video productions, television series, and specialty content alike.

Videos Taxonomy Hierarchy

Video products follow a structured hierarchical taxonomy across all major e-commerce platforms that reflects both format distinctions and content type classifications. Products must be classified from the Tier 2 category of "Videos" down through Tier 3 categories like "Blu-ray" or "DVDs" and further into specific Tier 4 subcategories based on genre such as "Action & Adventure" or "Drama" and even Tier 5 levels for specific content types. Understanding this hierarchy is essential for proper product placement and search visibility. Our API navigates this complexity automatically, analyzing product titles, format specifications, and content descriptions to select the most specific and appropriate category path for maximum discoverability.

The interactive diagram below illustrates how the Videos category branches into its primary Tier 3 format categories, each of which contains numerous genre-based Tier 4 subcategories. For example, "Blu-ray" branches into Action, Comedy, Drama, Horror, Science Fiction, Documentary, and dozens of other genre classifications. Meanwhile, "DVDs" contains the same genre structure with additional considerations for legacy content and catalog titles. The "Digital Downloads" category has emerged as an increasingly important branch encompassing digital movie purchases, TV episode downloads, and streaming access codes. Our AI understands the relationships between these format and genre categories and selects the most specific applicable classification based on the product's attributes, ensuring your video products land in precisely the right category for maximum visibility to entertainment consumers.

Tier 3 Video Format Categories

The following Tier 3 categories represent the primary format classification branches within the Videos vertical. Each category contains multiple genre-based Tier 4 subcategories for granular content classification:

Each Tier 3 format category contains multiple genre-based Tier 4 subcategories. For instance, "Blu-ray" branches into Action & Adventure, Comedy, Drama, Horror, Science Fiction, Documentary, Children & Family, and many more. "DVDs" includes the same genre structure plus categories for TV series, special interest, and educational content. "Digital Downloads" contains Movie Downloads, TV Episode Purchases, and Season Pass options. Our API automatically determines the complete category path for your video products based on their specific format, genre, and content attributes.
