1. A method for presenting supplemental content, the method comprising:
- receiving, using a hardware processor, a request regarding an item of interest that was presented in a media content item;
obtaining, using the hardware processor, a plurality of image data including a video frame of the media content item corresponding to a time of the received request and at least one of a preceding video frame presented before the video frame and a subsequent frame presented after the video frame;
comparing, using the hardware processor, the plurality of image data to identify the item of interest;
identifying, using the hardware processor, supplemental content that is associated with the item of interest by performing a search with a search query based on the item of interest and receiving supplemental content as search results responsive to the search query;
transmitting, using the hardware processor, a response to the request that includes the supplemental content corresponding to the item of interest identified in the media content item; and
causing, based on the transmitted response to the request, a computing device to present the supplemental content corresponding to the item of interest identified in the media content item and perform an action on the computing device in connection with the supplemental content.
