June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

In today's digital landscape, automating audio editing can significantly enhance your workflow. With FFMPEGAPI.net, you can easily split audio files by time using a simple REST API. This guide will walk you through how to leverage this functionality for your projects, ensuring efficient audio processing without the hassle of server management.

Understanding the Split Audio by Time Endpoint

FFMPEGAPI.net offers a powerful endpoint for splitting audio files by specific time intervals. The '/api/split_audio_time' endpoint allows you to extract a segment of audio between two timestamps, making it easier to work with audio clips for various applications such as podcasts, music editing, or video production.

  • Extract audio between defined start and end times.
  • Efficiently manage audio segments for editing.
  • Integrate seamlessly into your existing workflows.

How to Use the Split Audio by Time API

To use the split audio functionality, you'll need to make a POST request to the '/api/split_audio_time' endpoint. You'll need to provide the audio URL and the timestamps for extraction. Below are the required parameters:

  • audio_url: The URL of the audio file you want to split.
  • start_time: The starting point in milliseconds.
  • end_time: The endpoint in milliseconds, which must be greater than start_time.
  • async: Optional parameter to process the request in the background.
import requests

url = 'https://ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio_time'
data = {
    'audio_url': 'https://example.com/audio.mp3',
    'start_time': 1000,
    'end_time': 11000
}

response = requests.post(url, json=data)
print(response.json())
