Using the Add Subtitles Endpoint
To use the 'Add Subtitles' endpoint, you need to provide the URLs of both the video and the subtitle file. Additionally, you have the option to process the request asynchronously, allowing for background processing.
Here’s a breakdown of the parameters required for making the request:
- video_url (string): The URL of the video file you want to process.
- subtitle_url (string): The URL of the ASS/SSA subtitle file.
- async (boolean, optional): If set to true, the API will return a job_id immediately, and processing will occur in the background.
