Effortlessly Split Audio with FFMPEGAPI.net's REST API

June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

In the world of audio processing, being able to split audio files into equal parts is a common requirement for developers, particularly in SaaS applications and content pipelines. FFMPEGAPI.net offers a hosted REST API that allows developers to easily split audio files without the hassle of server setup or infrastructure management. In this article, we will explore how to use our Split Audio endpoint to achieve this.

What is the Split Audio Endpoint?

The Split Audio endpoint is a powerful tool provided by FFMPEGAPI.net that allows you to divide an audio file into a specified number of equal-duration parts. This is especially useful for applications that need to segment audio content for various purposes, such as podcasts, music tracks, or audio samples.

  • Splits an audio file into equal parts.
  • Supports audio files hosted online.
  • Flexible number of parts from 2 to 20.

How to Use the Split Audio Endpoint

To utilize the Split Audio feature, you will need to make a POST request to the /api/split_audio endpoint. This request requires the URL of the audio file you want to split, and optionally, the number of parts you wish to create.

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

url = "https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio"
data = {"audio_url": "https://example.com/podcast.mp3", "parts": 3}
response = requests.post(url, json=data)
print(response.json())
