In today's digital age, automating media processing tasks can save developers a significant amount of time and resources.

What is the Split Audio API?

The Split Audio API is a powerful endpoint provided by FFMPEGAPI.net that allows developers to split an audio file into equal-duration parts effortlessly. This functionality is particularly useful for creating snippets for podcasts, music, and other audio content.

How to Use the Split Audio API

To use the Split Audio API, you will need to send a POST request to the endpoint path: /api/split_audio. The request requires an audio URL and optionally allows you to specify the number of parts you want the audio split into.

  • Send a POST request with the required parameters.
  • Specify the audio URL you wish to split.
  • Optionally set the number of equal parts you desire.
curl -X POST https://ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"audio_url":"https://example.com/podcast.mp3", "parts":3}' \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
import requests

url = 'https://ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio'
data = {"audio_url": "https://example.com/podcast.mp3", "parts": 3}
headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json", "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"}

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