How to Split Videos Using the FFMPEGAPI.net API

  • Use the `video_url` parameter to specify the video you want to split.

  • If the split point is not provided, the video will be split in half by default.
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())
