In today's digital landscape, video content is paramount. Developers require efficient tools to automate video processing tasks, especially when working with AI agents. FFMPEGAPI.net offers a powerful hosted REST API that simplifies video and audio manipulation without the need for server setups or complex FFmpeg management. In this article, we will explore how to use the Split Video endpoint to optimize your development workflow.

What is the Split Video Endpoint?

The Split Video endpoint of FFMPEGAPI.net allows developers to easily split a video into two parts at a specified time, enhancing automation capabilities for AI agents and other applications.

  • Endpoint: /api/split_video
  • Method: POST
  • Content type: application/json or form data
  • Parameters: video_url (required), split_at_seconds (optional)

How to Use the Split Video Endpoint

To access the Split Video functionality, you can send a POST request to the /api/split_video endpoint. The only required parameter is the video URL, while the optional parameter allows you to specify at which second the split should occur. If the split_at_seconds parameter is omitted, the video will automatically split at the midpoint.

  • Specify the video URL you wish to split.
  • Define the split point in seconds if needed.
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())
