Example: Looping a Video
Here’s an example of how to use the Video Loop endpoint to loop a video three times using a CURL command and Python request.
In this example, we will loop a video located at 'https://example.com/clip.mp4'.
curl -X POST https://ffmpegapi.net/api/video_loop -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"video_url": "https://example.com/clip.mp4", "number_of_loops": 3}'import requests
url = 'https://ffmpegapi.net/api/video_loop'
data = {"video_url": "https://example.com/clip.mp4", "number_of_loops": 3}
response = requests.post(url, json=data)
