Tasks represent asynchronous operations that handle content processing, feature extraction, and index management. They provide real-time status tracking and error handling capabilities.

​
Key Concepts

Asynchronous Processing

Non-blocking operations that:

  • Run in the background
  • Support parallel execution
  • Handle long-running processes

Status Tracking

Monitor task lifecycle with:

  • Real-time status updates
  • Progress indicators
  • Completion notifications

​
Task Lifecycle

1

Initialization

Task is created and queued for processing

2

Processing

Content is downloaded and processed according to task type

3

Completion

Task finishes with success or failure status

​
Task States

​
Common Task Types

​
Content Operations

Feature Extraction

  • Text analysis
  • Image processing
  • Video processing
  • Multimodal extraction

Asset Management

  • Content indexing
  • Metadata updates
  • Batch operations
  • Data validation

​
System Operations

Index Management

  • Index creation
  • Updates and rebuilds
  • Optimization tasks

Maintenance

  • Data migrations
  • System updates
  • Health checks

​
Best Practices

Monitor task status regularly
Implement proper error handling
Set appropriate timeouts
Clean up completed tasks

​
Example Usage

# Check task status
task_status = mixpeek.tasks.get(task_id="task_123")

if task_status.status == "DONE":
    results = task_status.outputs
    # Process results
elif task_status.status == "FAILED":
    error = task_status.error
    # Handle error
