What is the Video Loop Endpoint?

The Video Loop endpoint at FFMPEGAPI.net allows you to repeat a video a specified number of times or calculate the necessary loop count to match a provided audio track. This can be particularly useful for creating engaging content for social media or digital marketing campaigns.

How to Use the Video Loop Endpoint

To get started with the Video Loop feature, you need to send a POST request to the /api/video_loop endpoint. You can provide parameters such as the video URL, the number of loops, an optional audio URL, and a watermark URL.

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

url = 'https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/video_loop'
payload = {
    'video_url': 'https://example.com/clip.mp4',
    'number_of_loops': 3
}
response = requests.post(url, json=payload)
print(response.json())
curl -X POST https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/video_loop \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"video_url": "https://example.com/clip.mp4", "number_of_loops": 3}'
