i would like to add text watermarking with above API.

Watermark requires Transcoding API

Stream transcoding - Web Call Server 5.2 - EN - Flashphoner Documentation

docs.flashphoner.com

1. Publish stream1
2. Transcode stream1 to stream1_output
/rest-api/transcoder/startup
3. Set watermark for Transcoder URI
/rest-api/transcoder/set_watermark
4. Play stream1_output with Watermark.

Please note.
Video transcoding is CPU extensive operation.
It may utilize 2 physical CPU cores for 720p streams in real time.

You can use a third party tool to convert text to image as supposed in this article, then apply the image as watermark.

can we set external image URL as watermark.?

No, you can only get image from local file system.
