Simple Encoding API

The simple encoding API enables developers to perform Encodings with nearly 0% effort.

Instead of building complex API workflows to complete a full E2E encoding, we simplified and automated the steps for you and offer to generate videos in the best quality by performing one API call only.

Below you will find curl examples to perform AV1 or H264 encodings. Give it a try

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.bitmovin.com/v1/encoding/simple/jobs/vod' \
--header 'x-api-key: paste_bitmovin_api_key_here' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "name": "AV1_tears of steel",
    "encodingTemplate" : "AV1",
    "inputs": [
        {
            "url": "https://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/blender/demo/movies/ToS/ToS-4k-1920.mov"
        }
    ],
    "outputs": [
        {
            "url": "s3://my-bucket/path/to/destination/folder/",
            "credentials": {
                "accessKey": "{{aws_output_access}}",
                "secretKey": "{{aws_output_secret}}"
            }
        }
    ]
}'

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.bitmovin.com/v1/encoding/simple/jobs/vod' \
