June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

In today's fast-paced digital world, managing and enhancing video content for social media can be a daunting task for developers. FFMPEGAPI.net offers a powerful hosted REST API that simplifies video and audio processing, allowing you to focus on creating engaging content. One of the standout features of our API is the Endless Loop endpoint, designed specifically for looping videos to meet exact target durations. This article will guide you through its capabilities and show why FFMPEGAPI.net is the best choice for your social media video workflows.

What is the Endless Loop Endpoint?

The Endless Loop endpoint allows you to repeat a video until it reaches a specified target duration. This feature is particularly useful for social media platforms where video length requirements can be strict.

With the ability to trim the final loop when the duration isn't an exact multiple of the source video length, you can ensure that your content always fits the desired timeframe.

  • Loop a video to a precise duration.
  • Optional watermark overlay for branding.
  • Supports both JSON and form data content types.

How to Use the Endless Loop Endpoint

Using the Endless Loop endpoint is straightforward. To access this feature, you simply send a POST request to the following path: /api/endless_loop. All you need is the video URL you wish to loop, the target duration, and optionally, a watermark URL.

  • Method: POST
  • Endpoint Path: /api/endless_loop
  • Content Type: application/json or form data
import requests

url = 'https://ffmpegapi.net/api/endless_loop'
data = {
    'video_url': 'https://example.com/clip.mp4',
    'duration': 1205,
    'watermark_url': 'https://example.com/watermark.png'
}

response = requests.post(url, json=data)
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"}'
