How to Split Audio Using the API

To split audio files into segments using FFMPEGAPI.net, you can make a POST request to the /api/split_audio_segments endpoint. This endpoint allows developers to define the audio URL and specify the duration of each segment.

You can also choose to process the audio in the background by enabling asynchronous processing.

  • Specify the audio URL as a mandatory parameter.
  • Set the segment duration, with a default of 30 seconds.
  • Use async to process jobs in the background.
curl -X POST https://ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio_segments \n-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \n-d '{"audio_url": "https://example.com/podcast.mp3", "segment_duration": 10, "async": false}'
import requests \n \nurl = 'https://ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio_segments' \nheaders = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'} \ndata = {"audio_url": "https://example.com/podcast.mp3", "segment_duration": 10} \nresponse = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data) \nprint(response.json())
