# Shotstack Shotstack is a cloud-based platform that enables developers, marketers, and designers to automate the generation of videos, images, and audio at scale using a RESTful API. - **Category:** video & audio - **Auth:** API_KEY - **Composio Managed App Available?** N/A - **Tools:** 24 - **Triggers:** 0 - **Slug:** `SHOTSTACK` - **Version:** 20260316_00 ## Tools ### Create Template **Slug:** `SHOTSTACK_CREATE_TEMPLATE` Tool to create a new template for video editing. Use when you want to save a reusable timeline configuration as a template. Template changes do not retroactively affect past renders. ### Create Template (v2) **Slug:** `SHOTSTACK_CREATE_TEMPLATE2` Tool to save an Edit as a re-usable template. Templates can be retrieved and modified before rendering. Use when you want to create a template with merge fields for dynamic content. ### Delete Ingested Media **Slug:** `SHOTSTACK_DELETE_INGESTED_MEDIA` Tool to delete an ingested media asset. Use when you've confirmed the ingest ID and need to remove the file from Shotstack storage. ### Delete Template **Slug:** `SHOTSTACK_DELETE_TEMPLATE2` Tool to delete a specific Shotstack template by its ID. Use when you need to remove a template permanently. ### Delete Shotstack Workflow **Slug:** `SHOTSTACK_DELETE_WORKFLOW` Tool to delete a specific Shotstack workflow. Use when you need to permanently remove a workflow after confirming its ID. ### Fetch Source **Slug:** `SHOTSTACK_FETCH_SOURCE` Tool to fetch a remote media file and store it as a source asset. Operation is asynchronous — poll SHOTSTACK_GET_INGEST_STATUS or SHOTSTACK_INSPECT_MEDIA until the asset is ready before passing it to SHOTSTACK_RENDER_VIDEO or other downstream tools. Use when you need to ingest a file before rendering. ### Get Asset **Slug:** `SHOTSTACK_GET_ASSETS` Tool to fetch details of a hosted asset by its unique identifier. Use when you need to retrieve information about videos, images, audio files, thumbnails, or poster images hosted on Shotstack's CDN. ### Get Assets by Render ID **Slug:** `SHOTSTACK_GET_ASSETS_RENDER` Tool to retrieve hosted assets by render ID. Use when you need to fetch one or more files (video, thumbnail, poster image) generated by a specific render job. ### Get Ingest Status (Deprecated) **Slug:** `SHOTSTACK_GET_INGEST_STATUS` DEPRECATED: Use SHOTSTACK_GET_SOURCE instead. Tool to retrieve the status and details of an ingested media asset. Poll until the asset status is 'ready' before using it in SHOTSTACK_RENDER_VIDEO; rendering against an unprocessed asset causes missing clips or failed renders. ### Get Render Callback **Slug:** `SHOTSTACK_GET_RENDER_CALLBACK` Tool to retrieve the webhook/callback URL configuration for a specific render job. Returns only callback settings (URL, method, headers), not render status or output URLs — use a separate render-status check to obtain final results. ### Get Render Status **Slug:** `SHOTSTACK_GET_RENDER_STATUS` Tool to retrieve the current status and details of a Shotstack render job by render ID. Use when polling a render until done or failed, typically after creating a render with SHOTSTACK_RENDER_VIDEO. ### Get Source Details **Slug:** `SHOTSTACK_GET_SOURCE` Tool to fetch the details of a specific source asset. Use when you need to inspect a source after uploading, check its status, or diagnose ingest/render failures—such as unsupported codecs, corrupt files, or bad URLs—before retrying. ### Get Template **Slug:** `SHOTSTACK_GET_TEMPLATE` Tool to retrieve details of a specific template. Use when you have the ID of an existing template and need its metadata. ### Get Template By Version **Slug:** `SHOTSTACK_GET_TEMPLATE_BY_VERSION` Tool to retrieve a template by template id and API version. Use when you need to fetch template details from a specific Edit API version. ### Get Upload URL **Slug:** `SHOTSTACK_GET_UPLOAD_URL` Tool to request a signed URL for direct file upload to Shotstack. Use when you need to upload a file to Shotstack storage. The response returns a signed URL that you use to upload the file using a PUT request with the binary file. ### Inspect Media **Slug:** `SHOTSTACK_INSPECT_MEDIA` Tool to inspect media metadata. Use before rendering to retrieve duration, resolution, frame rate, and format of an online media file — clip timecodes, trim points, and audio sync calculations depend on these values. Mixing assets without prior inspection can cause letterboxing, jitter, or audio sync issues in the final output. ### List Sources **Slug:** `SHOTSTACK_LIST_SOURCES` Tool to list all source assets. Use when you need to retrieve source entries with optional pagination. ### List Sources (with Environment) **Slug:** `SHOTSTACK_LIST_SOURCES2` Tool to list all ingested source files with environment selection. Use when you need to retrieve sources from stage (sandbox) or v1 (production) environment with optional pagination. ### List Templates **Slug:** `SHOTSTACK_LIST_TEMPLATES` Tool to list all Shotstack templates for the account. Use after creating or updating templates to view your available templates. ### List Templates with Environment **Slug:** `SHOTSTACK_LIST_TEMPLATES2` Tool to list all Shotstack templates for the specified environment. Use when you need to retrieve templates from a specific environment (stage or production). ### Request Upload URL **Slug:** `SHOTSTACK_POST_UPLOAD` Tool to request a signed URL for direct file upload. Use when you need to upload a file to Shotstack storage. The response returns a signed URL that expires in one hour. ### Render Video **Slug:** `SHOTSTACK_RENDER_VIDEO` Tool to initiate a new video render job. Use when you have defined a timeline and output settings and want to start rendering. ### Transfer Asset **Slug:** `SHOTSTACK_TRANSFER_ASSET` Tool to transfer a file from any publicly available URL to one or more Serve API destinations. Use when you need to copy a file from an external source to Shotstack's hosting service or other configured destinations. ### Update Template **Slug:** `SHOTSTACK_UPDATE_TEMPLATE` Tool to update an existing template by its ID. Use when you need to modify a template's name or edit configuration. Both name and complete template definition must be provided.
