What is the Split Audio Endpoint?

The Split Audio endpoint is a powerful feature of FFMPEGAPI.net that allows you to split an audio file into a specified number of equal-duration parts. This can be particularly useful for podcasters, content creators, and developers looking to automate media processing in their applications.

  • Easily split audio files into equal parts.
  • No server setup required.
  • Supports asynchronous processing for large files.

How to Use the Split Audio Endpoint

To use the Split Audio endpoint, you will need to send a POST request to the following path: /api/split_audio. This endpoint requires the audio URL as a parameter and allows you to specify the number of parts you want to split the audio into.

  • Endpoint: /api/split_audio
  • 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 Request

The request to the Split Audio endpoint includes a few important parameters that you need to be aware of:

  • audio_url (string, required): The URL of the audio file you want to split.
  • parts (integer, optional): The number of equal parts to split the audio into (default is 2, max is 20).
  • async (boolean, optional): If set to true, returns a job_id immediately and processes the splitting in the background.
