How to Use the Add Subtitles API Endpoint

- Endpoint Path: POST /api/add_subtitles
- Content Type: application/json
- Required Parameters: video_url, subtitle_url
curl -X POST https://ffmpegapi.net/api/add_subtitles \

'video_url': 'https://example.com/video.mp4',
'subtitle_url': 'https://example.com/subtitles.ass'
}
response = requests.post(url, json=data)
print(response.json())Handling Asynchronous Processing
If you're working with large files or prefer non-blocking operations, the 'async' parameter can be utilized. By setting this parameter to true, the API will return a job ID immediately, allowing you to track the status of your subtitle processing in the background.
- Enable async processing for large files.
- Receive job_id for background tracking.
- Improve user experience by preventing API call delays.
