The API call is simple and requires minimal parameters, making it easy to integrate into your workflows.
How to Use the Add Subtitles Endpoint
To use the Add Subtitles endpoint, you need to make a POST request to the following path: /api/add_subtitles. The request must include the video URL and the subtitle file URL as parameters.
Here's a breakdown of the required parameters:
- video_url: The URL of your video (required).
- subtitle_url: The URL of the ASS/SSA subtitle file (required).
- async: (optional) If set to true, the processing will happen in the background, and you will receive a job ID immediately.
