Using the Add Subtitles Endpoint

The 'Add Subtitles' endpoint allows you to burn ASS/SSA subtitles directly into your video. This is particularly useful for creators who want to ensure that their audience can fully engage with their content, especially in multilingual contexts.

To use this endpoint, you need to provide the video URL and the subtitle file URL. The endpoint will handle the video processing for you.

curl -X POST https://ffmpegapi.net/api/add_subtitles \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{ "video_url": "https://example.com/video.mp4", "subtitle_url": "https://example.com/subtitles.ass", "async": true }'

import requests

url = 'https://ffmpegapi.net/api/add_subtitles'
data = {
    "video_url": "https://example.com/video.mp4",
    "subtitle_url": "https://example.com/subtitles.ass",
    "async": True
}

response = requests.post(url, json=data)
print(response.json())
