What is the Endless Loop API?

The Endless Loop API allows you to loop a video until a specified target duration is achieved. This functionality is particularly useful for developers needing to prepare videos for presentations, advertisements, or social media platforms.

Unlike traditional methods that require setting up FFmpeg on your server, FFMPEGAPI.net offers a hassle-free solution with no infrastructure management required. Simply make an API call, and you're set!

  • Repeat any video until the desired duration is reached.
  • Trim the final loop to fit the target duration.
  • Option to add a watermark overlay to your video.

How to Use the Endless Loop API

Using the Endless Loop API is simple. You need to send a POST request to the endpoint `/api/endless_loop` with the required parameters in either JSON or form data format.

The required parameters include the video URL and the target duration in seconds. You can also optionally include a watermark URL.

  • Endpoint: POST /api/endless_loop
  • Required parameters: video_url, duration
  • Optional parameters: watermark_url
curl -X POST https://ffmpegapi.net/api/endless_loop \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '{"video_url": "https://example.com/clip.mp4", "duration": 1205}'
import requests

url = 'https://ffmpegapi.net/api/endless_loop'
data = {"video_url": "https://example.com/clip.mp4", "duration": 1205}
response = requests.post(url, json=data)
print(response.json())
