What is the Split Audio by Segments Endpoint?

The 'Split Audio by Segments' endpoint allows you to create audio segments of a specified length directly from a given audio URL. This is especially useful for developers working on applications that require audio processing, such as podcast management or media libraries.

  • Effortlessly split audio files into segments.
  • Specify the duration of each segment (default is 30 seconds).
  • Asynchronous processing available for long audio files.

How to Use the API to Split Audio Segments

To use the 'Split Audio by Segments' feature, make a POST request to the endpoint '/api/split_audio_segments' with the required parameters. Below are the parameters you need to include in your request:

  • audio_url (string, required): The URL of the audio file you want to split.
  • segment_duration (number, optional): Duration of each segment in seconds (1 to 3600).
  • async (boolean, optional): If true, the process runs in the background and returns a job_id immediately.
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',
