How to Use the API
To use the Split Audio by Segments API, you'll need to send a POST request to the endpoint. The request should include the audio URL and optionally specify the segment duration.
- Endpoint Path: /api/split_audio_segments
- HTTP Method: POST
- Content Type: application/json
curl -X POST https://ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio_segments \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"audio_url": "https://example.com/podcast.mp3", "segment_duration": 10}'import requests
url = 'https://ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio_segments'
data = {
'audio_url': 'https://example.com/podcast.mp3',
'segment_duration': 10
}
response = requests.post(url, json=data)
print(response.json())API Parameters
The endpoint accepts several parameters to customize your request:
