What is the Split Audio Endpoint?

The Split Audio endpoint of FFMPEGAPI.net allows you to divide an audio file into a specified number of equal-duration parts. This feature is particularly beneficial for podcasters, video content creators, or anyone needing to segment audio for various applications.

How to Use the Split Audio Endpoint

To utilize the Split Audio feature, you need to make a POST request to the /api/split_audio endpoint. You can specify the audio file URL and the number of parts you wish to split the audio into. By default, the API will split the audio into two parts.

  • Endpoint: `/api/split_audio`
  • HTTP Method: `POST`
  • Content Type: `application/json`
curl -X POST https://ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"audio_url": "https://example.com/podcast.mp3", "parts": 3}'
import requests

url = 'https://ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio'
data = {"audio_url": "https://example.com/podcast.mp3", "parts": 3}

response = requests.post(url, json=data)
print(response.json())

Parameters for the Split Audio API

The Split Audio endpoint accepts several parameters:

1. **audio_url**: The URL of the audio file you want to split (required).

2. **parts**: An optional integer to define the number of equal parts to split into, ranging from 2 to 20. The default value is 2.

3. **async**: An optional boolean that, if set to true, will process the request in the background and return a job ID immediately.
