June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, video content is king. Whether you're building a content pipeline, automated system, or a SaaS application, you need fast and reliable tools for video processing. FFMPEGAPI.net offers a robust hosted REST API for FFmpeg-powered video and audio processing, eliminating the hassles of server setup and infrastructure management. This article dives into the Endless Loop endpoint, which allows developers to loop videos to a specific duration effortlessly.

What is the Endless Loop Endpoint?

The Endless Loop endpoint is designed to repeat a video until reaching a target duration specified by you. This is particularly useful for creating loops in presentations, background videos, or any scenario where a continuous video feed is required.

The endpoint allows for additional customization through the use of optional watermark overlays, giving your video content a professional touch.

  • Loop a video to an exact target duration.
  • Trim the final loop if necessary.
  • Optional watermark support.

How to Use the Endless Loop Endpoint

To utilize the Endless Loop functionality, you will make a POST request to the /api/endless_loop path. This request requires you to provide a video URL and the target duration in seconds. Optionally, you can also add a watermark URL.

Here’s the data structure you need for your API call:

  • video_url: The URL of the video to loop (required).
  • duration: The target output duration in seconds (required).
  • watermark_url: An optional URL for a watermark image.
import requests

url = 'https://ffmpegapi.net/api/endless_loop'
data = {
    'video_url': 'https://example.com/clip.mp4',
    'duration': 1205,
    'watermark_url': 'https://example.com/watermark.png'
}

response = requests.post(url, json=data)
print(response.json())
curl -X POST https://ffmpegapi.net/api/endless_loop \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{ "video_url": "https://example.com/clip.mp4", "duration": 1205 }'
