  • Endpoint Path: /api/split_video
  • Content Type: application/json or form data
curl -X POST https://ffmpegapi.net/api/split_video -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"video_url": "https://example.com/video.mp4", "split_at_seconds": 12.5}'
import requests

url = 'https://ffmpegapi.net/api/split_video'
data = {
    'video_url': 'https://example.com/video.mp4',
    'split_at_seconds': 12.5
}
response = requests.post(url, json=data)
print(response.json())
