What it does

OpusClip API takes a long-form video, supplied as a URL such as a YouTube link, and creates a clipping project. It returns short clips that can have branded captions in multiple languages and be reframed for different aspect ratios. Each submitted video is managed as a project that you can query for clip details, edit by trimming or extending a clip and fixing caption typos, apply brand templates to, and share.

Developers call the API with a bearer API key from tools such as cURL, TypeScript or Python, then check on projects and clips, or receive webhook notifications. It also includes social posting endpoints to generate copy and publish or schedule clips to connected accounts. The vendor lists an MCP connector for AI agents, a public OpenAPI specification, an llms.txt file and official SDKs for Node, Python, Go, PHP, Ruby and Java.

It suits developers, media companies, creators and agencies building automated video pipelines. Access needs an API key from the dashboard and enough credits; at 1 credit per minute of video, API projects have a 10-credit minimum. Documented limits include 30 requests per minute per key, videos up to 10 hours and 30 GB, 30-day project expiry by default, and plan-based concurrency and monthly caps.

Automated captioned shorts from a long video

Scheduled social posting
Input: a finished project with clips and connected social accounts. Steps: fetch clips, optionally trim one and fix a caption typo, generate social copy, then schedule or publish through the social posting endpoints. Output: clips posted or queued on connected accounts.
