FFmpeg – Rust (Actix-web) API Implementation
This project provides a Rust-based API implementation for FFmpeg. The system uses the Actix-web framework in Rust to build a fast and scalable API layer that exposes FFmpeg functionality through HTTP endpoints.
The goal of this repository is to create a high-performance API-based system for performing audio and video processing using FFmpeg, allowing developers to interact with FFmpeg programmatically instead of running command-line commands manually.
Instead of running FFmpeg scripts directly, this implementation exposes the functionality through HTTP API endpoints built with Actix-web, making it easy to integrate into applications, automation pipelines, or backend services.
The API endpoints are fully customizable, so you can deploy your own instance and perform operations like video/audio conversion, merging, trimming, transcoding, and more through HTTP requests, without relying on this hosted space.
Key Features
- Rust backend using the Actix-web framework
- API-driven workflow for easy integration with other applications or services
- Full access to FFmpeg functionality via HTTP endpoints
- Designed to run easily in Hugging Face Spaces using Docker
Open Usage
The code in this repository is completely free to use. There are no restrictions on using this code and forking it.
Important: To use this API, you should deploy your own Hugging Face Space or backend rather than calling the hosted version directly. This ensures you have full control, avoids overloading the public endpoint, and allows you to customize the API for your own needs.
You are free to:
- Fork the repository
- Copy the code directly
- Modify or extend it
- Create your own Hugging Face Space
- Build your own backend service using this implementation
This project makes it easier for developers and researchers to deploy and experiment with FFmpeg through modern API-based systems, while also exploring Rust and Actix-web for building fast and scalable backend infrastructure.
