Using the Split Audio by Time Endpoint
The 'Split Audio by Time' endpoint allows you to extract audio segments based on specified start and end times (in milliseconds). This can be particularly useful for creating highlights or samples from longer audio files.
- Endpoint: POST /api/split_audio_time
- Content Type: application/json
- Parameters required include audio_url, start_time, and end_time.
curl -X POST https://ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio_time \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"audio_url":"https://example.com/audio.mp3", "start_time":1000, "end_time":11000}'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())Understanding the Parameters
To use this endpoint effectively, you need to understand the required parameters:
- **audio_url**: The URL of the audio file you want to process.
- **start_time**: The timestamp in milliseconds where the audio extraction begins.
- **end_time**: The timestamp in milliseconds where the audio extraction ends. Note that this must be greater than the start_time.
- **async** (optional): If set to true, the API will return a job_id immediately and process the request in the background.
FFMPEGAPI.net provides a robust and user-friendly solution for developers needing to process audio files in the cloud. Utilizing our 'Split Audio by Time' endpoint enables you to extract precise audio segments effortlessly.
