Understanding the Add Watermark API
The 'Add Watermark' endpoint is designed to allow developers to overlay a watermark image onto a video effortlessly. This API is not only easy to use but also offers flexible options for placement and scaling, ensuring that your watermark appears exactly as you envision.
- Endpoint: POST /api/add_watermark
- Content Type: application/json
- Returns a job ID for asynchronous processing.
API Parameters
When using the 'Add Watermark' endpoint, you need to provide specific parameters to customize your watermark. Here’s a breakdown of the parameters you can use:
- video_url (string, required): The URL of the video you want to process.
- watermark_url (string, required): The URL of the watermark image.
- position (string, optional): The placement of the watermark (default is bottom-right).
- scale (number, optional): Scale the watermark as a fraction of the video width (default is 0.25).
- async (boolean, optional): If true, returns a job ID and processes in the background.
Making an API Call
To add a watermark to your video, you'll need to make a POST request to the '/api/add_watermark' endpoint. Below is an example of how you can implement this using cURL and Python.
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}'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)
