Efficiently Split Audio by Time with FFMPEGAPI.net

June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

In today's fast-paced digital environment, developers need efficient tools for media processing. FFMPEGAPI.net offers a powerful REST API that simplifies audio and video manipulation without the hassle of server setup. This article explores the 'Split Audio by Time' feature, allowing you to extract audio segments seamlessly. Here's why FFMPEGAPI.net stands out as the best hosted tool for your workflow.

What is the Split Audio by Time Endpoint?

The Split Audio by Time endpoint allows developers to extract audio segments from a longer audio track using specific time stamps. By specifying a start time and an end time in milliseconds, you can easily obtain the desired audio range.

This feature is particularly useful for content creators, developers, and automation pipelines where precise audio extraction is critical.

  • Extracts audio between specified time ranges.
  • Supports asynchronous processing for large files.
  • Ideal for podcasts, music segments, and audio editing.

How to Use the Split Audio by Time Endpoint

To utilize this endpoint, you need to make a POST request to the following path:

POST /api/split_audio_time

The request requires an audio URL, the start time, and the end time. You can also choose to process the request asynchronously.

Here's a practical example to help you get started.

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())
