Scroll down for code samples, example requests and responses. Select a language for code samples from the tabs above or the mobile navigation menu.
Shotstack is a video, image and audio editing service that allows for the automated generation of videos, images and audio using JSON and a RESTful API.
You arrange and configure an edit and POST it to the API which will render your media and provide a file location when complete.
For more details visit shotstack.io or checkout our getting started documentation.
There are three API's, one for editing and generating assets (Edit API), one for managing hosted assets (Serve API) and one for ingesting and transforming source assets (Ingest API).
Each API has it's own base URL and collection of endpoints. Each API uses the same set of API keys.
Edit API - https://api.shotstack.io/edit/{version}
Edit videos, images and audio assets in the cloud using a simple JSON schema and templates.
Serve API - https://api.shotstack.io/serve/{version}
Inspect and manage the hosting of assets generated by the Edit and Ingest APIs.
Ingest API - https://api.shotstack.io/ingest/{version}
Ingest (upload, store and transform) source footage, images, audio and fonts to be used by the Edit API.
Base URLs:
-
https://api.shotstack.io/edit/{version}
-
version - Set the stage to v1 for production usage without watermarks. Set to stage to use the development sandbox. Default: v1

Authentication
- API Key (DeveloperKey)
- Parameter Name: x-api-key, in: header. Set the x-api-key header with your provided key for the correct environment (v1 or stage). Include the header in all calls to the API that are secured with a key.
Edit
The Edit API is used to edit videos, images and audio files in the cloud using a simple to understand JSON schema. Compose an edit using tracks, clips and assets and add transitions, filters, overlays and text. Finally send the JSON to the Edit API to be rendered.

Serve
Assets generated by the Edit API or uploaded via the Ingest API are sent to the Serve API. The Serve API includes a simple hosting service with a CDN or you can send assets to third party services like AWS S3 or Mux. The Serve API includes endpoints to look up assets, where they are hosted and their status.

Ingest
The Ingest API lets you upload and store your source footage and user generated content in close proximity to the Edit API. Instead of hosting your own assets or building your own uploader you can use the Ingest API. The Ingest API provides endpoints to fetch and upload files and check their status and URLs. All ingested files are available directly from an S3 bucket URL or via CDN (Serve API).

POST /upload
Request a signed URL to upload a file to. The response returns a signed URL that you use to upload the file to. The signed URL looks similar to:
In a separate API call, use this signed URL to send a PUT request with the binary file. Using cURL you can use a command like:
curl -X PUT -T video.mp4 {data.attributes.url}
Where video.mp4 is the file you want to upload and {data.attributes.url} is the signed URL returned in the response. The request must be a PUT type.
The SDK does not currently support the PUT request. You can use the SDK to make the request for the signed URL and then use cURL to make the PUT request.

A clip is a container for a specific type of asset, i.e. a title, image, video, audio or html. You use a Clip to define when an asset will display on the timeline, how long it will play for and transitions, filters and effects to apply to it.
Properties
| Name | Type | Required | Restrictions | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| asset | Asset | true | none | The type of asset to display for the duration of the Clip. Value must be one of: |
| start | number | true | none | The start position of the Clip on the timeline, in seconds. |
| length | number | true | none | The length, in seconds, the Clip should play for. |
| fit | string | false | none | Set how the asset should be scaled to fit the viewport using one of the following options:
|
| scale | number | false | none | Scale the asset to a fraction of the viewport size - i.e. setting the scale to 0.5 will scale asset to half the size of the viewport. This is useful for picture-in-picture video and scaling images such as logos and watermarks. |
| position | string | false | none | Place the asset in one of nine predefined positions of the viewport. This is most effective for when the asset is scaled and you want to position the element to a specific position.
|
| offset | Offset | false | none | Offset the location of the asset relative to its position on the viewport. The offset distance is relative to the width of the viewport - for example an x offset of 0.5 will move the asset half the viewport width to the right. |
| transition | Transition | false | none | In and out transitions for a clip - i.e. fade in and fade out |
| effect | string | false | none | A motion effect to apply to the Clip.
Fast or Slow to the effect, e.g. zoomInFast or slideRightSlow. |
| filter | string | false | none | A filter effect to apply to the Clip.
|
| opacity | number | false | none | Sets the opacity of the Clip where 1 is opaque and 0 is transparent. |
| transform | Transformation | false | none | A transformation lets you modify the visual properties of a clip. Available transformations are rotate, skew and flip. Transformations can be combined to create interesting new shapes and effects. |

The details of the file to be ingested and any transformations to be applied. Once the source file has been ingested, new renditions can be created from it. The renditions are specified in the outputs property. A rendition is a new version, generated from the source. This can be used to create new sizes and aspect ratios tht serve different purposes within an application.
Properties
| Name | Type | Required | Restrictions | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| url | string | false | none | The URL of the file to be ingested. The URL must be publicly accessible or include credentials. |
| outputs | Outputs | false | none | The output renditions and transformations that should be generated from the source file. |
| destinations | Destinations | false | none | A destination is a location where assets can be sent to for serving or hosting. Videos, images and audio files that are rendered by the Edit API and source and rendition files generated by the Ingest API can be sent to destinations. A file can be sent to one or more destinations including 3rd party destinations. By default all ingested and generated assets are automatically sent to the Shotstack hosting destination. You can opt-out from by setting the Shotstack destination exclude property to true. The following destinations are available: |
| callback | string | false | none | An optional webhook callback URL used to receive status notifications when sources are uploaded and renditions processed. |

A rendition is a new output file that is generated from the source. The rendition can be encoded to a different format and have transformations applied to it such as resizing, cropping, etc...
Properties
| Name | Type | Required | Restrictions | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| format | string | false | none | The output format to encode the file to. You can only encode a file to the same type, i.e. a video to a video or an image to an image. You can't encode a video as an image. The following formats are available:
|
| size | Size | false | none | Set a custom size for a video or image in pixels. When using a custom size omit the resolution and aspectRatio. Custom sizes must be divisible by 2 based on the encoder specifications. |
| fit | string | false | none | Set how the rendition should be scaled and cropped when using a size with an aspect ratio that is different from the source. Fit applies to both videos and images.
|
| resolution | any | false | none | The output resolution of the video or image. This is a convenience property that sets the width and height based on industry standard resolutions. The following resolutions are available:
|
| quality | integer | false | none | Adjust the visual quality of the video or image. The higher the value, the sharper the image quality but the larger file size and slower the encoding process. When specifying quality, the goal is to balance file size vs visual quality. Quality is a value between 1 and 100 where 1 is fully compressed with low image quality and 100 is close to lossless with high image quality and large file size. Sane values are between 50 and 75. Omitting the quality parameter will result in an asset optimised for encoding speed, file size and visual quality. |
| fps | number | false | none | Change the frame rate of a video asset.
|
| filename | string | false | none | A custom name for the generated rendition file. The file extension will be automatically added based on the format of the rendition. If no filename is provided, the rendition ID will be used. |
