How to Split Audio by Segments

Using the FFMPEGAPI.net endpoint '/api/split_audio_segments', developers can split audio files into manageable segments. This is particularly useful when you need to break down long audio files, such as podcasts or audio books, into shorter clips for easier handling or distribution.

The process is straightforward. You'll need to provide the audio URL and optionally specify the segment duration. If you want to process it asynchronously, you can set the 'async' parameter.

  • Endpoint: POST /api/split_audio_segments
  • Parameters:
  • - audio_url (required): The URL of the audio file.
  • - segment_duration (optional): Duration of each segment in seconds.
  • - async (optional): Process in the background.
import requests

url = 'https://ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio_segments'
data = {
    'audio_url': 'https://example.com/podcast.mp3',
    'segment_duration': 10
}
response = requests.post(url, json=data)
print(response.json())
curl -X POST https://ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio_segments \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"audio_url": "https://example.com/podcast.mp3", "segment_duration": 10}'
