Introduction to the Choppity API

The Choppity API automates clip generation, rendering, uploads, and social posting from your own apps. It extends the Content OS for engineers, agencies, and no-code builders alike.

Base URL and docs

Production lives at api2.choppity.com. Full reference lives at docs.choppity.com with endpoints for clips, renders, uploads, posts, and social connections.

Typical workflows

Upload source video with a presigned URL, start a clip job, poll until clips are ready, trigger renders, then schedule posts. Webhooks notify you when jobs complete instead of constant polling loops.

Authentication

Use API keys for server automation or Firebase JWT for user-scoped actions. Keys are created by team Owners in Settings under the Developers card.

Rate and quota

API calls consume the same monthly video and storage quotas as the web app. Monitor usage on the team dashboard before scaling automation to hundreds of uploads per week.
