API Playground

Explore the FFmpeg Micro API interactively. Try different endpoints, modify requests, and see example responses. This is a sandbox environment with mock data - no authentication required.

Endpoints

The playground walks through the six calls a job is made of, in the order you make them:

  1. Ask for a presigned upload URL, then send your file to it.
  2. Confirm the upload. The response carries the file's address and its duration, dimensions and codecs.
  3. Create a transcode job, with a preset or with your own FFmpeg options.
  4. Check the job's status until it reads completed.
  5. Get a signed link to download the result. The link works for ten minutes.
  6. Or, for audio and video with speech, create a transcription job to get subtitles.

Nothing on this page is sent to the API. Pick an endpoint to see its headers, an example request body, an example response and a cURL command you can copy and run with your own key.
