Using the Split Audio Endpoint

The Split Audio endpoint allows you to effortlessly split an audio file into equal-duration parts. This is particularly useful for podcasters and content creators who need to segment their audio for easier editing and distribution.

To use this API, you will need to send a POST request to the `/api/split_audio` endpoint with the required parameters.

  • 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 Splitting Audio

The Split Audio API accepts the following parameters:

The `audio_url` is a required field, specifying the URL of the audio file you want to split. The `parts` parameter is optional and defaults to 2, allowing you to define how many equal parts to create, up to a maximum of 20.

You can also process the splitting asynchronously by setting the `async` parameter to true, which allows you to receive a job ID while the processing happens in the background.
