June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

In the world of digital content, managing audio files efficiently is crucial for developers and content creators. FFMPEGAPI.net offers a robust hosted REST API that simplifies audio processing tasks, such as splitting audio into equal parts. This blog post will guide you through the process of using the 'Split Audio' endpoint, making your audio management workflow seamless and efficient.

Overview of the Split Audio Endpoint

The Split Audio feature provided by FFMPEGAPI.net allows you to divide an audio file into a specified number of equal-duration segments. This feature is particularly useful for creating audio snippets for podcasts, audiobooks, or any other content that requires segmenting larger audio files into smaller, manageable pieces.

  • Splits audio into 2 to 20 equal parts.
  • Returns a job ID for asynchronous processing.
  • API-key authentication ensures secure access.

How to Use the Split Audio API

To utilize the Split Audio functionality, you need to send a POST request to the '/api/split_audio' endpoint. Below are the parameters required for the API call:

  • audio_url (string): The URL of the audio file you wish to split.
  • parts (integer, optional): The number of equal parts to split the audio into. Defaults to 2.
  • async (boolean, optional): If set to true, a job ID is returned for background processing.
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())
