Build a TikTok clone with a single API
Say goodbye to the hassle of using five different tools to build an app like TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts. From player, encoding, CDN & storage, to analytics, get everything in one place with api.video.
The API is fully flexible. You can build custom video workflows in no time.
Choose a video platform that is
cost effective at scale
As you keep adding new users, your usage increases significantly in no time. With most vendors, that means your costs increase as you scale.
Not with us. There's no platform fee and you pay for what you use. With volume discounts, your costs decrease when the volume increases.
Add watermark to your videos
The best way to build your audience base? Making your videos go viral on other platforms. Let your users share videos with your watermarked logo on each video. The watermark can be added automatically.
You can add additional branding within your app by adding your logo to the video player, or using a domain of your choice.
