How to Use the Split Audio by Segments API

To get started, you'll need to make a POST request to the /api/split_audio_segments endpoint with the required parameters. The main parameters include the audio URL and the segment duration, which defaults to 30 seconds if not specified.

  • Required Parameter: audio_url - The URL of the audio you want to split.
  • Optional Parameter: segment_duration - Duration of each segment (default is 30 seconds).

-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"audio_url": "https://example.com/podcast.mp3", "segment_duration": 10}'
