  • Endpoint Path: `/api/add_watermark`
  • HTTP Method: POST
  • Content Type: application/json
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)
print(response.json())

Parameters for the Add Watermark Endpoint

When calling the Add Watermark endpoint, you need to provide several parameters to customize the watermarking process.

  • video_url (string, required): The URL of the video to process.
  • watermark_url (string, required): The URL of the watermark image.
  • position (string, optional): Placement of the watermark (default is bottom-right).
  • scale (number, optional): Width of the watermark as a fraction of the video width (default is 0.25).
  • async (boolean, optional): If true, processes the job in the background.
