# Introducing the BlitzReels video API

Milestone: 2026-02-04
Article published: 2026-09-26
Status: Product update

Bring video creation into your own tools. Our first API connects project and video workflows to code, with documentation to get you started.

## For the videos you make again and again

Some video work starts in a dashboard; some starts with inputs in another system. We introduced an API for video and project workflows so developers could connect their own tools and repeat a process without doing every step by hand.

The reason to open this route is that a video is sometimes one step inside a larger job. A team may already have the source material and instructions in its own system, and an API gives that system a defined way to work with BlitzReels projects.

## Documented steps to build with

The API came with dedicated documentation and explicit operations that assistants could use, too. The SDK and CLI arrived later; the current docs are the place to check which operations and access options are available for what you want to build.

For developers, this makes it possible to design a process around the video work instead of treating the dashboard as the only entry point. The documented operations also make the boundaries easier to understand: build with the actions the API supports, then use the project and its output in the rest of your process.

## Build video into your own tools

Start with the API documentation to check the operations and access available for your project.

We wrote this story later, looking back at our product history. The date at the top marks the work described here; features and access may have changed since then.
