How to Use the Split Audio Endpoint

To utilize the Split Audio feature, you need to send a POST request to the /api/split_audio endpoint. This request must include the audio URL you wish to split and the number of parts you want the audio divided into.

The API allows you to specify from 2 to 20 parts, with a default of 2 if not specified.

  • Required parameter: audio_url (string) - The URL of the audio file.
  • Optional parameter: parts (integer) - Number of equal parts to split the audio.
  • Optional parameter: async (boolean) - For processing in the background.
curl -X POST https://ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"audio_url": "https://example.com/podcast.mp3", "parts": 3}'
import requests

url = 'https://ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio'
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
data = {'audio_url': 'https://example.com/podcast.mp3', 'parts': 3}
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)
print(response.json())
