About

This API adds a text or image watermark to any video by simply sending a JSON payload of text or image URL.
Ideal for businesses or individuals who want to protect their videos from unauthorized use and/or want to use watermarks as a way to highlight and promote a brand. This can improve the overall appearance and security of a video by including images (e.g. a logo) or other important information as a watermark.
Try out the Video Watermarking API in the API playground for free, improve your workflow, and reduce video security risks with a simple API call.
Note: This API accepts video files, video URLs, and links from platforms like YouTube and Dailymotion, although there may be occasional functionality and accessibility issues due to platform policies.
Tip: For large-size video files , it’s recommended to use the corresponding JOB API to ensure optimal performance and prevent timeouts.

  • Credential secrets are generated on the fly and are not stored in plain text, so on generating a credential please save the secrets somewhere safe.
  • Use the apy-token as the header parameter to pass the token.
