How to Use the TikTok Portrait Converter API

To utilize the TikTok Portrait Converter, you send a POST request to the API endpoint. The request requires a URL of the video you want to convert and can include optional parameters for a watermark and outro video.

  • watermark_url (string, optional): URL of the watermark image to overlay.
  • outro_video_url (string, optional): URL of the outro video to append.
  • async (boolean, optional): If set to true, the API returns a job ID for background processing.
import requests

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

    'video_url': 'https://example.com/landscape.mp4',
    'outro_video_url': 'https://example.com/outro.mp4',
