Create Video from URL

APIs that convert any link to a short form video ad.

🚀 Introduction

With Creatify’s URL-to-Video API, you can instantly turn any webpage into a customized, short-form video ad. Just submit a URL—our system will:

• Automatically scrape content (images, descriptions, etc.)
• Allow you to customize the script, visuals, and more
• Output a ready-to-publish video in seconds

⚙️ Quickstart Guide

✅ Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have:

• A Creatify account with API access
• Your API credentials (see Authentication Guide)

---

🔗 Step 1: Create a New Link

Use this endpoint to submit a URL and extract metadata.

Example Request

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.creatify.ai/api/links/ \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'X-API-ID: your-api-id' \
  --header 'X-API-KEY: your-api-key' \
  --data '{
    "url": "https://www.amazon.com/ATTITUDE-Mineral-Based-Ingredients-Cruelty-free-Moisturizer/dp/B09JZXHJM7"
  }'

⚠️ Save the id — you’ll need it to generate the video.

✏️ Step 2: (Optional) Update the Link

Improve video quality by refining metadata.

Why Update?

• Add a logo for better branding and a CTA
• Remove low-quality images/videos
• Enhance or rewrite the description for clarity
• Highlight specific features or offers

Request

curl --request PUT \
  --url https://api.creatify.ai/api/links/{id}/ \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'X-API-ID: your-api-id' \
  --header 'X-API-KEY: your-api-key' \
  --data '{
    "title": "Your Custom Title",
    "description": "Highlight key features or promo messages.",
    "image_urls": ["https://example.com/image.jpg"],
    "video_urls": ["https://example.com/video.mp4"],
