Splitting Audio into Segments Using the API

  • Audio URL: The URL of the audio file you wish to segment.
  • Segment Duration: The length of each segment in seconds (default is 30 seconds).
  • Asynchronous Processing: Optionally process the request in the background.
import requests

url = 'https://ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio_segments'
data = {
    'audio_url': 'https://example.com/podcast.mp3',
    'segment_duration': 10
}
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'}

response = requests.post(url, json=data, headers=headers)
print(response.json())
curl -X POST https://ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio_segments \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
-d '{"audio_url":"https://example.com/podcast.mp3", "segment_duration":10}'
