June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

In the age of content creation, efficiently managing audio for social media videos is crucial. FFMPEGAPI.net provides a seamless way to handle audio processing without any server setup. This article will introduce you to the 'Split Audio by Time' feature, which allows developers to extract specific audio segments for their projects. Let's dive in!

What is the Split Audio by Time API?

The Split Audio by Time API from FFMPEGAPI.net is designed to extract audio segments between specified timestamps. This is particularly beneficial for developers working on social media platforms, automated content generation, and any application that requires precise audio handling.

  • Extracts audio between start and end times.
  • Returns audio in milliseconds.
  • Supports asynchronous processing.

How to Use the Split Audio by Time Endpoint

To use the Split Audio by Time API, you need to send a POST request to the endpoint: `/api/split_audio_time`. This endpoint requires several parameters including the audio URL and the start and end times in milliseconds.

  • audio_url: The URL of the audio file you want to process.
  • start_time: The start time in milliseconds from which the audio will be extracted.
  • end_time: The end time in milliseconds, ensuring it is greater than start_time.
  • async (optional): If true, the processing will occur in the background.
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}'
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())
