  • Optional parameters for customization.
  • Supports various video sources.
curl -X POST https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/convert_to_tiktok_portrait -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"video_url": "https://example.com/landscape.mp4", "outro_video_url": "https://example.com/outro.mp4"}'
import requests

url = 'https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/convert_to_tiktok_portrait'
data = {
    'video_url': 'https://example.com/landscape.mp4',
    'outro_video_url': 'https://example.com/outro.mp4'
}
response = requests.post(url, json=data)
print(response.json())

The TikTok Portrait Converter API accepts several parameters, allowing for a flexible video processing experience. Here are the key parameters you'll work with:

  • video_url (required): The URL of the video you want to convert.
