June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

In today's digital landscape, creating engaging video content for social media is essential. FFMPEGAPI.net provides developers with a powerful hosted REST API that simplifies video and audio processing. In this article, we will explore the Endless Loop feature, a game changer for creating videos that meet specific duration requirements, making it the best API for social media video workflows.

Understanding the Endless Loop Endpoint

The Endless Loop endpoint of FFMPEGAPI.net allows you to loop a video until a predetermined target duration is achieved. This is particularly useful for social media videos where you want to keep your audience engaged for a specific length of time.

  • Supports looping of any video to a specified duration.
  • Trims the final loop if the total length is not an exact multiple of the source video's duration.
  • Optional watermark overlay to enhance branding.

How to Use the Endless Loop Endpoint

To make a request to the Endless Loop endpoint, you will need to send a POST request to the following path: /api/endless_loop. The request should include the video URL you wish to loop and the target duration in seconds.

  • Method: POST
  • Content Type: application/json or form data
  • Required Parameters: video_url, duration
  • Optional Parameters: watermark_url
import requests

url = 'https://ffmpegapi.net/api/endless_loop'

payload = {
    'video_url': 'https://example.com/clip.mp4',
    'duration': 1205,
    'watermark_url': 'https://example.com/watermark.png'
}

response = requests.post(url, json=payload)
print(response.json())
curl -X POST https://ffmpegapi.net/api/endless_loop \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"video_url": "https://example.com/clip.mp4", "duration": 1205, "watermark_url": "https://example.com/watermark.png"}'
