Introduction
Getting started with the Clipform REST API.
The Clipform API lets you create and manage video forms programmatically. You can create forms, add nodes, upload media, and more - all from your own code or tools like the MCP server.
Base URL
All API requests use the following base URL:
Authentication
The easiest way to interact with the Clipform API is through the MCP server, which handles authentication automatically via OAuth or anonymous mode.
What you can do
| Area | Description |
|---|---|
| Forms | Create, list, update, and delete forms including theme colours |
| Nodes | Add nodes (Choice, Open-Ended, Contact, etc.) to forms |
| Node Media | Upload videos or images to nodes |
| Tags | Organise forms with tags |
| Creative | Search stock media, generate TTS audio, render video compositions |
| Authentication | Verify your API key and check workspace info |
Rate limits
The API enforces rate limits based on your plan. If you exceed the limit, requests return 429 Too Many Requests. Wait and retry with exponential backoff.
