Automating Video Loops with FFMPEGAPI.net: The Endless Loop Endpoint

June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

In the world of video processing, automation is key to efficiency, especially when dealing with repetitive tasks. For developers looking to incorporate video looping in their applications, FFMPEGAPI.net offers a powerful solution through its Endless Loop endpoint. This hosted REST API requires no setup, allowing you to focus on building your application instead of managing infrastructure.

What is the Endless Loop Endpoint?

The Endless Loop endpoint allows you to loop a video until a specified duration is reached. This is particularly useful for applications that require continuous video playback, such as presentations or background media for websites. The endpoint can handle video URLs, target durations, and even optional watermark overlays.

  • Loops a video to a defined duration.
  • Trims the final loop to fit the duration precisely.
  • Supports optional watermark overlays.

How to Use the Endless Loop Endpoint

To utilize the Endless Loop functionality, you'll need to send a POST request to the /api/endless_loop endpoint. The request must include the video URL and the target duration in seconds. Additionally, you can specify a watermark if desired.

  • Method: POST
  • Content Type: application/json or form data
  • Required Parameters:
  • - video_url: The URL of the video to loop.
  • - duration: The target output duration in seconds.
  • Optional Parameter:
  • - watermark_url: A URL for an optional watermark image.
curl -X POST https://ffmpegapi.net/api/endless_loop \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"video_url": "https://example.com/clip.mp4", "duration": 1205}'
import requests

url = 'https://ffmpegapi.net/api/endless_loop'
data = {'video_url': 'https://example.com/clip.mp4', 'duration': 1205}
response = requests.post(url, json=data)
print(response.json())
