How to Use the Split Audio by Segments Endpoint

The Split Audio by Segments feature allows you to divide an audio file into fixed-duration segments easily. This can be particularly useful for content creators who need to manage large audio files efficiently.

To use this feature, you will make a POST request to the endpoint `/api/split_audio_segments` with your specified parameters.

  • Audio URL: Specify the URL of the audio file you want to split.
  • Segment Duration: Set how long each segment should be, from 1 to 3600 seconds (default is 30 seconds).
  • Asynchronous Processing: Optionally return a job_id for background processing.
import requests

url = 'https://ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio_segments'
data = {
    'audio_url': 'https://example.com/podcast.mp3',
    'segment_duration': 10
