Using the Convert to Vertical Endpoint
Our '/api/convert_to_vertical' endpoint allows you to convert horizontal videos to a mobile-friendly vertical format. This is particularly useful for social media platforms where vertical videos perform better.
The endpoint accepts a few parameters, including the URL of the video you want to convert and an optional watermark image URL.
- Method: POST
- Endpoint Path: /api/convert_to_vertical
- Required Parameters: video_url (string)
- Optional Parameters: watermark_url (string), async (boolean)
import requests
url = 'https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/convert_to_vertical'
data = {
'video_url': 'https://example.com/landscape.mp4',
'watermark_url': 'https://example.com/logo.png'
}
response = requests.post(url, json=data)
print(response.json())How to Handle Asynchronous Processing
For larger videos or when processing time is a concern, you can use the 'async' parameter. By setting this to true, the API will return a job_id immediately, allowing you to check the status of the conversion later.
- Set async to true for background processing.
- Retrieve job status via another API call.
