API (Application Programming Interface)

The EditingTools.io API can be used to generate, convert, and process data. This API provides access to a variety of different resources. The API is accessible via a REST interface. Unless otherwise noted, POST requests are recommended. Request parameters are used to pass information to the API, and results are returned in JSON. Request parameters must be encoded in UTF-8; results are also encoded in UTF-8. HTTP error codes are used to signal errors. Authentication is based on fixed keys, and data transport is secured by SSL.

How do I get access to the API?

You will need an EditingTools.io account to make any request to the API.

Useful tools

All examples and demo requests are written as CURL requests. You can use https://curlconverter.com to convert the commands for other languages like: PHP, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, Rust, Ansible, C , C#, ColdFusion, Clojure, Dart, Elixir, Go, HAR, HTTP, HTTPie, Java, JSON, Kotlin, MATLAB, Node.js, Objective-C, OCaml, PowerShell, R, Swift and more.

Make your first request

Once you have an APIKEY, you're ready to start using our API.

curl -u "apikey:{YOUR_API_KEY}" -X {request_method} "{url}/{method}"

To validate your APIKEY and obtain a list of available tools, you can send a request to https://api.editingtools.io.

curl -u "apikey:{YOUR_API_KEY}" "https://api.editingtools.io"

Response (Example):

{
    "code": "200",
    "status": "OK",
    "data": {
        "api_list": [
            "watermark",
            "thumbnail",
            "..."
        ]
    }
}

Pricing

A simple request is free. Failed requests are also free. Only a successful conversion will cost money at some point.

When a conversion is successfully made, this is counted as one Premium API Request. The first 100 conversions (Premium API Requests) are free, after that 1 AI Credit is deducted from the account for each additional 100 conversions. The API will respond with an error if there are no AI credits left in the account. To check the amount of ai credits and possible request, you can use the following command:

curl -u "apikey:{YOUR_API_KEY}" "https://api.editingtools.io/info"

Request Statistics

Use the following command to get your own query statistics:

curl -u "apikey:{YOUR_API_KEY}" "https://api.editingtools.io/info"

Data handling

Results are returned as JSON encoded in UTF-8. Datasets will be inside data tag on default. Request parameters must be UTF-8 encoded.

Error handling

This api service uses standard HTTP response codes to indicate whether a method completed successfully. HTTP response codes in the 2XX range indicate success. A response in the 4XX range is some sort of failure, and a response in the 5XX range indicates an internal system error that cannot be resolved by the user. The following error codes are used by the API:

200: OK. The request was successful.
400: Bad request. Please check error message.
401: Unauthorized: Username or Api Key is not valid.
403: Forbidden: The request is understood, but it has been refused or access is not allowed.
404: Not found: The URI requested is invalid or the resource does not exist.
429: Too Many Requests. Returned when a request cannot be served due to the App's rate limit having been exhausted for the resource.
500: Internal Server Error. Something is broken.
502: Bad Gateway. API is down.
503: Service Unavailable. API is up but overloaded with requests.
504: Gateway Timeout: API is up but requests reached timout.

Rate Limits

To prevent abuse and spam, we have limits at different levels. If your application needs higher limits, let us know.

Limit per minute: 50 requests
Limit per hour: 1000 requests

File Limits

There are individual file limits depending on the application.

Language

The API is available in English only.

Other Tools

We can easily set up an API to all of our tools on demand.

Watermark

Use the Watermark API to generate a watermark graphic.

If you want to generate a watermark of 1920 x 1080 pixel and the text "INTERNAL USE ONLY" use the following command. Set HEADER to Content-Type: application/json and send your data in JSON format e.g. --data-raw '{"resolution":"1920x1080","text":"INTERNAL USE ONLY"}'. Default values will be used for all unset attributes.

curl -u "apikey:{YOUR_API_KEY}" -X POST "https://api.editingtools.io/watermark" --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-raw '{"resolution":"1920x1080","text":"INTERNAL USE ONLY"}'

Response (Example):

{
    "code": "200",
    "status": "OK",
    "data": {
        "created": "2024-12-21 11:54:51",
        "message": "Success",
        "file_url": "https://editingtools.io/path/to/file/watermark_123.png",
        "file_size": 15120,
        "file_hash": "13ba0a9e943f32ac4782d98fba36249b"
    }
}

You can download the generated file with wget or curl or embed it directly into your app from file_url. The generated file will be online for 20 minutes maximum . After download you can validate the file with MD5 HASH file_hash.

curl "https://editingtools.io/path/to/file/watermark_123.png" --output watermark.png

In case you want to save the output in the first request, you can add stream_output attribute with value true. Also define the output path e.g. --output watermark.png. In case the process fails, output will be send as JSON. So make sure to handle status codes correctly.

curl -u "apikey:{YOUR_API_KEY}" -X POST "https://api.editingtools.io/watermark" --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-raw '{"stream_output":true,resolution":"1920x1080","text":"INTERNAL USE ONLY"}' --output watermark.png

Music Cue Sheet

This is the official API to our Music Cue Sheet. All details about the Cue Sheet Generator can be found here: Music Cue Sheet.

To generate a cue sheet from a sequence the following command can be used:

curl -u "apikey:{YOUR_API_KEY}" -X POST -F format=csv -F file=@/path/to/myfile.edl "https://api.editingtools.io/cuesheet"

Response (Example):

{
    "code": "200",
    "status": "OK",

        "file_name": "MusicCueSheet.csv",
        "file_url": "https://editingtools.io/path/to/file/MusicCueSheet.csv",
        "file_size": 631,
        "file_hash": "149350685432f7d03ab148cef3dfe926"
    }
}

curl "https://editingtools.io/path/to/file/MusicCueSheet.csv" --output MusicCueSheet.csv

Instead of downloading the file you can recieve the file as base64 string. Add -F base64=1 to the request.

curl -u "apikey:{YOUR_API_KEY}" -X POST -F format=csv -F base64=1 -F file=@/path/to/myfile.edl "https://api.editingtools.io/cuesheet"

Response (Example):

Bulk Processes

Use the following commands to check the status of bulk processes started with your account or with your API keys. You can only check the status of processes started with your own account.

To list all recent processes on your account, you can use the following command:

curl -u "apikey:{YOUR_API_KEY}" "https://api.editingtools.io/process"

This prints a list of the most recent processes and statuses.

Response (Example):

{
    "code": "200",
    "status": "OK",
    "data": {
        "processes": [
            {
                "id": "CXXXXXX1",
                "status": 2,
                "message": "Finished"
            },
            {
                "id": "CXXXXXX2",
                "status": 0,
                "message": "Failed"
            }
         ]
    }
}

There are 3 states that a process can have:

Status: 0 ; Message: Failed
Status: 1 ; Message: In progress
Status: 2 ; Message: Finished

If you want to check the status of a specific process and get all the details like the download path, add the process_id to the request:

curl -u "apikey:{YOUR_API_KEY}" -X POST -F process_id={process_id} "https://api.editingtools.io/process"

Response (Example):

{
    "code": "200",
    "status": "OK",
    "data": {
        "created": "2024-12-21 11:54:51",
        "status": 2,
        "message": "Finished",
        "file_name": "files.zip",
        "file_url": "https://editingtools.io/path/to/file/files.zip",
    }
}

If you convert csv files you will need to add the framerate value (otherwise 25fps will be used for calculations). Add -F framerate=24 to change this value to 24 frames for example.

curl "https://editingtools.io/path/to/file/myfile_fixed.edl" --output myfile.edl

Instead of downloading the file you can recieve the file as base64 string. Add -F base64=1 to the request.

curl -u "apikey:{YOUR_API_KEY}" -X POST -F format=csv -F base64=1 -F file=@/path/to/myfile.edl "https://api.editingtools.io/edl"

Response (Example):

Subtitle Tool & Converter

This is the official API to our Subtitle Tool & Converter.

To convert subtitle files use the following command:

curl -u "apikey:{YOUR_API_KEY}" -X POST -F source=srt -F format=csv -F file=@/path/to/mysubtitle.srt "https://api.editingtools.io/subtitles"

The following form data must be passed for an operation to be successfully executed:

source = the source format of your file
format = the target format
file = path to your subtitle file

Response (Example: Convert .srt to .csv):

{
    "code": "200",
    "status": "OK",
    "data": {
        "created": "2024-12-21 11:54:51",
        "message": "Success",
        "file_name": "mysubtitle.csv",
        "file_url": "https://editingtools.io/path/to/file/mysubtitle.csv",
        "file_size": 1504,
        "file_hash": "3e85da48d39823444424aba2f41a57db"
    }
}

The following form data is recommended for correct calculations:

framerate = the framerate of the original subtitle file

curl "https://editingtools.io/path/to/file/mysubtitle.csv" --output mysubtitle.csv

Instead of downloading the file you can recieve the file as base64 string. Add -F base64=1 to the request.

curl -u "apikey:{YOUR_API_KEY}" -X POST -F source=srt -F format=csv -F base64=1 -F file=@/path/to/mysubtitle.srt "https://api.editingtools.io/subtitles"
