In this article, we'll focus on the Split Video endpoint, demonstrating how to split a video into two parts seamlessly.

What is the Split Video Endpoint?

The Split Video endpoint allows you to split a video at a specified point, enabling you to create two distinct video files. This feature is invaluable in scenarios where you need to trim content or extract specific scenes for further processing.

  • Easy integration into your workflows
  • No need for local FFmpeg setup
  • API-key authentication for secure access

How to Use the Split Video Endpoint

To use the Split Video feature, you will make a POST request to the `/api/split_video` endpoint. You can provide the video URL and optionally specify the split point in seconds. If no split point is provided, the video will be split at its halfway point.

  • Method: POST
  • Content Type: application/json or form data
  • Parameters: video_url (required), split_at_seconds (optional)
curl -X POST https://ffmpegapi.net/api/split_video -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"video_url": "https://example.com/video.mp4", "split_at_seconds": 12.5}'
import requests

url = 'https://ffmpegapi.net/api/split_video'
data = {'video_url': 'https://example.com/video.mp4', 'split_at_seconds': 12.5}
response = requests.post(url, json=data)
print(response.json())
