To get started, you'll need to send a POST request to the endpoint: /api/videos/add-tiktok-captions with the required parameters, including the video URL and optional styling options.

curl -X POST https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/videos/add-tiktok-captions \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"video_url":"https://example.com/video.mp4", "subtitle_style":"yellow-bg", "position":"bottom"}'

import requests

url = 'https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/videos/add-tiktok-captions'
payload = {
    'video_url': 'https://example.com/video.mp4',
    'subtitle_style': 'yellow-bg',
    'position': 'bottom'
}

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