Overview
JSON2Video API lets you create and edit videos programmatically by sending a JSON payload that describes scenes, text animations, voice-overs, watermarks, and slideshows. You authenticate with an API key and POST a movie definition; the API processes it asynchronously and returns a URL to download the rendered video. It is ideal for automating social media clips, marketing videos, or personalised content at scale.
Beginner Tip
Start with the simplest possible movie definition — a single scene with a text overlay — before adding voice-overs or transitions; the API renders asynchronously so poll the status endpoint until the video is ready.
Available Data
The kind of data this API exposes, based on its documentation. We could not call the endpoint to confirm the exact field names.
Example Response
Illustrative shape only — we were not able to call this endpoint (it requires credentials or exposes no public sample URL), so the fields below show the kind of data this API returns rather than a recorded response.
{
"status": "success",
"data": {
"result": "Data from JSON2Video",
"description": "Create and edit videos programmatically: watermarks,resizing,slideshows,voice-over,text animations",
"timestamp": "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z"
}
} Field Reference
movie Unique ID of the created movie render job status Current render status: queued, processing, or done url Download URL for the finished video once status is done duration Total duration of the rendered video in seconds created_at ISO 8601 timestamp when the render job was created Implementation Example
Calls a real endpoint of this API. Replace any placeholder credentials with your own key.
const url = "https://api.json2video.com/v2/movies";
// Replace headers or query params with the values required by this API.
const response = await fetch(url, {
headers: {
"X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data); What Can You Build?
