Understanding the Image and Audio Merge Endpoint

The primary endpoint for merging images and audio is the POST /api/merge_image_audio. This endpoint allows developers to create MP4 videos from one or more image/audio pairs. You can control the duration of each image based on its corresponding audio file, making it perfect for presentations and storytelling.

You can provide image and audio URLs in JSON format, enabling you to manage multiple pairs efficiently or simply use single pairs for straightforward tasks.

  • Combines multiple image/audio pairs for dynamic video creation
  • Supports optional image transitions and zoom effects
  • Handles both JSON and multipart/form-data requests

Making a Request to Merge Images and Audio

To utilize the /api/merge_image_audio endpoint, you'll need to format your request properly. Below is an example of how to structure the JSON request for merging images and audio using FFMPEGAPI.net.

import requests

url = 'https://ffmpegapi.net/api/merge_image_audio'
headers = {'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY', 'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
payload = {
    'image_urls': [
        'https://example.com/intro.jpg',
        'https://example.com/chapter-1.jpg'
    ],
    'audio_urls': [
        'https://example.com/intro.mp3',
        'https://example.com/chapter-1.mp3'
    ],
    'transition_effect': 'fade',
    'transition_duration': 0.75,
    'dimensions': '1280x720',
    'zoom_effect': true
}

response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers)
print(response.json())
