Effortless Video Looping with FFMPEGAPI.net: A Guide to Using the Endless Loop Endpoint

June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

In the realm of video processing, the ability to loop videos seamlessly can enhance projects ranging from content creation to automation workflows. FFMPEGAPI.net offers a powerful hosted solution that allows developers to implement video looping without the hassle of server management. In this article, we’ll explore the Endless Loop endpoint that lets you repeat videos until a target duration is reached, making your video processing tasks straightforward and efficient.

What is the Endless Loop Endpoint?

The Endless Loop endpoint is a POST method API provided by FFMPEGAPI.net that enables you to loop a video to achieve a specific duration. This endpoint is perfect for developers looking to automate video editing tasks without managing complex server infrastructures.

  • Loops a video until the requested duration is reached.
  • Trims the final loop if the target duration isn't an exact multiple of the source video length.
  • Supports optional watermark overlays.

How to Use the Endless Loop Endpoint

To utilize the Endless Loop endpoint, you need to send a POST request with the required parameters. The key parameters include the video URL, the desired duration in seconds, and optionally, a watermark URL to overlay on the video.

  • Endpoint Path: /api/endless_loop
  • Required Parameters: video_url (string), duration (number)
  • Optional Parameter: watermark_url (string)
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, "watermark_url":"https://example.com/watermark.png"}'
