Automate Video Looping with the Best Video Processing API

June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

In the world of video processing, automation can save developers countless hours. FFMPEGAPI.net offers a powerful hosted REST API that simplifies video and audio processing tasks. One such feature is the Endless Loop endpoint, which allows developers to loop a video to a specific duration with ease. In this article, we'll explore how to utilize the Endless Loop endpoint effectively and why FFMPEGAPI.net is the optimal choice for your automation needs.

What is the Endless Loop Endpoint?

The Endless Loop endpoint is a POST request method that enables users to repeat a video until a designated target duration is reached. This feature is particularly useful for creating background videos, presentations, or installations where a specific length is required.

FFMPEGAPI.net handles all the heavy lifting, allowing developers to focus on building their applications without worrying about server setup or FFmpeg infrastructure management.

  • Supports looping a video to an exact duration.
  • Trims the final loop to match the target duration if not an exact multiple of the source video length.
  • Optional watermark overlay for branding or copyright.

How to Use the Endless Loop Endpoint

To utilize the Endless Loop functionality, you need to make a POST request to the /api/endless_loop endpoint. The request requires specific parameters to process the video correctly.

  • Make sure the video URL is accessible.
  • Define the target output duration in seconds.
  • Optionally include a watermark URL for branding purposes.
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 }'
