June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

In the realm of audio and video processing, having a reliable and efficient tool is crucial for developers. FFMPEGAPI.net offers a robust hosted REST API that simplifies audio manipulation tasks. One of its standout features is the Split Audio by Time endpoint, which allows developers to extract specific audio segments easily.

What is the Split Audio by Time Endpoint?

The Split Audio by Time endpoint enables you to extract audio segments from a longer audio file based on specified millisecond timestamps. This is particularly useful for applications requiring audio manipulation, such as content creation, podcast editing, or automated workflows.

  • Extract audio segments with precision.
  • Ideal for applications needing specific audio snippets.
  • No need for complex FFmpeg setups – just an API key.

How to Use the Split Audio by Time Endpoint

To utilize the Split Audio by Time functionality, developers need to send a POST request to the endpoint. Below are the key parameters required for the request:

  • audio_url (string, required): The URL of the audio file you want to process.
  • start_time (number, required): The start time in milliseconds from where you want the audio to begin.
  • end_time (number, required): The end time in milliseconds where you want the audio to stop. Must be greater than start_time.
  • async (boolean, optional): If set to true, the API will return a job_id immediately and process the request in the background.
curl -X POST https://ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio_time \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"audio_url":"https://example.com/audio.mp3", "start_time":1000, "end_time":11000}'
import requests

url = 'https://ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio_time'
data = {"audio_url": "https://example.com/audio.mp3", "start_time": 1000, "end_time": 11000}

response = requests.post(url, json=data)
print(response.json())
