June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

In the world of video processing, looping a video can enhance user engagement and create compelling content. FFMPEGAPI.net offers a powerful Video Loop API that allows developers to easily loop a video a specified number of times or until it matches an audio track. This article will guide you through the capabilities of the Video Loop API and how to integrate it smoothly into your projects.

What is the Video Loop API?

The Video Loop API is a hosted REST API that simplifies the process of looping videos. With capabilities to repeat a video a certain number of times or to calculate the necessary loop count based on an audio track, it is a versatile tool for developers.

FFMPEGAPI.net takes care of all the backend complexity, letting you focus on building applications without the hassle of managing server infrastructure.

  • Loop videos with a fixed number of repetitions.
  • Match video length to an audio track seamlessly.
  • Support for optional watermark overlays.

How to Use the Video Loop API

To get started using the Video Loop API, you will need to send a POST request to the /api/video_loop endpoint with the required parameters. This allows you to specify the video URL, the number of loops, and optionally an audio URL and a watermark image URL.

  • Endpoint: POST /api/video_loop
  • Content Type: application/json or form data
  • Parameters include: video_url, number_of_loops, audio_url, and watermark_url.
import requests

url = 'https://ffmpegapi.net/api/video_loop'
data = {
    'video_url': 'https://example.com/clip.mp4',
    'number_of_loops': 3
}
headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'
}

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