Using the Add Watermark Endpoint

The Add Watermark API endpoint allows you to overlay a watermark image onto your video. This can be particularly useful for branding or copyright purposes. You can configure various parameters such as the position and scale of the watermark to fit your requirements.

This endpoint accepts a POST request at /api/add_watermark, and you need to provide the video URL, watermark URL, position, scale, and an optional async parameter.

import requests

url = 'https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/add_watermark'
data = {
    'video_url': 'https://example.com/video.mp4',
    'watermark_url': 'https://example.com/logo.png',
    'position': 'bottom-right',
    'scale': 0.2
}

response = requests.post(url, json=data)
print(response.json())

curl -X POST https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/add_watermark \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{ "video_url": "https://example.com/video.mp4", "watermark_url": "https://example.com/logo.png", "position": "bottom-right", "scale": 0.2 }'
