  • Method: POST
  • Content Type: application/json or form data
  • Parameter: video_url (string, required)
curl -X POST https://ffmpegapi.net/api/get_last_frame_image -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"video_url": "https://example.com/video.mp4"}'
import requests

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