Reap Automation API Skill

Product summary

Reap is a REST API for automating video processing: AI clipping (extracting short clips from long videos), caption generation, smart reframing (adapting videos to different aspect ratios), AI dubbing (80+ languages), transcription, and direct publishing to YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and X. The API uses Bearer token authentication, runs at https://public.reap.video/api/v1/automation/, and supports webhooks for real-time project completion notifications. Rate limit: 10 requests/minute per API key. See the full API reference at https://docs.reap.video/api-reference/1_introduction.

When to use

Reach for this skill when:

• A user asks to extract short clips from a long video (podcast, webinar, keynote, stream)
• You need to add styled captions to a video with emoji and keyword highlighting
• A video needs to be reframed for different platforms (portrait for TikTok/Reels, square for Instagram, landscape for YouTube)
• Audio needs to be dubbed into another language with lip-aware timing
• A transcript or word-level timestamps are needed from video or audio
• Clips need to be published directly to social platforms with per-platform settings
• You're building a batch video processing pipeline that should scale across multiple videos
• Editorial control is needed — the user wants specific types of clips (highlight reel, trailer, quotes, educational moments, etc.) rather than generic virality-driven selection
