Automating Video Looping with FFMPEGAPI.net: A Developer's Guide

June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

In the world of video processing, automation can save developers countless hours. FFMPEGAPI.net offers a hosted REST API that simplifies video and audio manipulation. One of the standout features is the Endless Loop endpoint, which allows you to loop a video until it reaches a specified duration. This capability is particularly useful for developers working on AI agents, automation tools, and content pipelines.

Understanding the Endless Loop Endpoint

The Endless Loop endpoint enables developers to repeat a video until a target duration is met. This is invaluable for creating content that needs to fill a specific time slot, such as background videos or loops for presentations.

Moreover, the API can accommodate optional watermark overlays, adding branding to your looping videos.

  • Repeats the input video until the target duration is reached.
  • Supports optional watermarking.
  • Trims the final loop to fit the exact target duration.

How to Use the Endless Loop Endpoint

To utilize the Endless Loop feature, you'll need to send a POST request to the endpoint. The necessary parameters include the video URL, desired duration, and an optional watermark URL.

This makes FFMPEGAPI.net a powerful tool for developers looking to automate video tasks without the hassle of server setup.

  • Endpoint Path: /api/endless_loop
  • HTTP Method: POST
  • Content Type: application/json or form data
curl -X POST https://ffmpegapi.net/api/endless_loop -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"video_url":"https://example.com/clip.mp4","duration":1205,"watermark_url":"https://example.com/watermark.png"}'
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())
