The Best Way to Merge Videos Programmatically with Watermarks

Understanding the Add Watermark Endpoint

The Add Watermark endpoint allows you to overlay a watermark image onto a specified video. This functionality is crucial for businesses and content creators who need to brand their videos seamlessly. FFMPEGAPI.net provides a simple REST API to achieve this without any complex configurations.

Parameters for Adding a Watermark

When using the Add Watermark endpoint, there are several parameters you need to provide:

1. **video_url**: The URL of the video you want to watermark. This parameter is required.

2. **watermark_url**: The URL of the watermark image. This parameter is also required.

3. **position**: Optionally specify where the watermark should be placed on the video. Default is 'bottom-right'.

4. **scale**: This optional parameter allows you to define the size of the watermark as a fraction of the video width, ranging from 0.05 to 1.0. The default scale is 0.25.

Making Requests with cURL and Python

You can easily make requests to the Add Watermark endpoint using cURL or Python. Below are examples for both.

With FFMPEGAPI.net, there's no need for complicated setups, making it ideal for rapid development and automation.

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)
print(response.json())
