What is the Text Overlay Captions API?
The Text Overlay Captions endpoint allows developers to render user-supplied text as timed caption overlays on videos. By integrating this feature, you can provide context, emphasize key points, or simply make the content more accessible to a wider audience.
- Supports various subtitle styles.
- Allows customization of aspect ratio and position.
- Flexible duration settings for each line of text.
How to Use the Text Overlay Captions API
To get started with adding text overlay captions, you need to make a POST request to the endpoint: /api/videos/add-text-overlay-captions. The request must include a few key parameters such as 'video_url' and 'text'.
- video_url: The URL of the video to which you want to add captions.
- text: The caption lines you wish to overlay, separated by newlines.
- You can also customize subtitle_style, aspect_ratio, position, and duration_per_line.
import requests

data = {
'video_url': 'https://example.com/video.mp4',
