June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

As a developer, integrating video processing into your applications can often be a time-consuming task, especially when it requires the use of complex server setups or FFmpeg infrastructure management. FFMPEGAPI.net offers a convenient solution with its hosted REST API, allowing you to loop videos effortlessly without the hassle of backend configurations. In this article, we will explore how to use the Video Loop API endpoint to repeat videos easily and effectively.

What is the Video Loop API?

The Video Loop API is a powerful endpoint provided by FFMPEGAPI.net that allows you to loop a video either by a specified count or until it matches the duration of a provided audio track. This is particularly useful for content creators and developers looking to automate video editing tasks without delving into the complexities of FFmpeg command-line tools.

  • Supports looping by a fixed count.
  • Calculates loop counts based on audio duration.
  • Optional watermarking for branding purposes.

How to Use the Video Loop API

To use the Video Loop API, you need to make a POST request to the endpoint '/api/video_loop'. The key parameters include the video URL, the number of loops, and optionally, an audio URL and a watermark image URL.

FFMPEGAPI.net takes care of the heavy lifting, allowing you to focus on building powerful applications without getting into the nitty-gritty of video processing.

  • Endpoint: POST /api/video_loop
  • Content Types Supported: application/json or form data
  • Key Parameters: video_url, number_of_loops, audio_url, watermark_url
import requests

url = "https://ffmpegapi.net/api/video_loop"
data = {
    "video_url": "https://example.com/clip.mp4",
    "number_of_loops": 3
}

response = requests.post(url, json=data)
print(response.json())
curl -X POST https://ffmpegapi.net/api/video_loop \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"video_url":"https://example.com/clip.mp4", "number_of_loops": 3}'
