How to get video duration from Cloudinary?

I have a roadblock here. I want to get the video duration from Cloudinary. Is there any function I can use to get my desired result?

The Only option I found is using Cloudinary API's resource method. I am using the PHP Cloudinary API in this way:

$api = new \Cloudinary\Api();

$result = $api->resource("public_id",array("resource_type" => video","duration"=>true));

 print_r($result);

This function gets most of the info of the video but not the video's duration.

I have also tried with PHP 'getID3' Library but it returns an error that says:

Remote files are not supported - please copy the file locally first

If you guys have any idea how to do this in Cloudinary or in PHP, please Share.

Thanks in advance.

Cloudinary supports returning more extensive information by setting the image_metadata parameter to true. For example:

$result = $api->resource("public_id",array("resource_type" => "video","image_metadata"=>true));

This will also return the duration of the video.
