June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

In the realm of media processing, developers often need to manipulate audio files for various applications. FFMPEGAPI.net provides a robust hosted solution that simplifies audio processing tasks, such as splitting audio tracks by specific time intervals. This article will guide you through the process of using the Split Audio by Time API endpoint to extract the desired audio segments seamlessly.

What is FFMPEGAPI.net?

FFMPEGAPI.net is a hosted REST API designed for developers seeking fast and efficient audio and video processing. With no server setup or FFmpeg infrastructure management required, you can focus on building your applications rather than handling complex backend processes.

  • Easily integrate with your existing applications.
  • API-key authentication ensures secure access.
  • Ideal for automation, SaaS applications, and AI agents.

Introducing the Split Audio by Time Endpoint

The Split Audio by Time endpoint is a powerful feature that allows you to extract specific segments from audio files using millisecond timestamps. This feature is particularly useful for applications that require precise audio manipulation, such as podcast editing, music production, or content creation workflows.

  • Endpoint Path: /api/split_audio_time
  • HTTP Method: POST
  • Content Type: application/json

How to Use the Split Audio by Time API

To use this API, you need to send a POST request with the necessary parameters. The API requires the audio URL, start time, and end time to process the audio effectively.

  • Parameters required:
  • - audio_url (string): The URL of the audio file.
  • - start_time (number): The starting point in milliseconds.
  • - end_time (number): The endpoint in milliseconds. Must be greater than start_time.
  • - async (boolean): Optional. If true, the process will run in the background.
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())
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}'
