How to Use the Split Audio by Time Endpoint

FFMPEGAPI.net provides a dedicated endpoint for splitting audio tracks by specified time ranges: the Split Audio by Time endpoint. This feature allows you to extract audio segments conveniently, perfect for creating snippets for social media posts.

To use this endpoint, simply send a POST request to the following path: /api/split_audio_time.

  • HTTP Method: POST
  • Endpoint Path: /api/split_audio_time
  • Content Type: application/json
import requests

url = 'https://ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio_time'
data = {
    'audio_url': 'https://example.com/audio.mp3',
    'start_time': 1000,
    'end_time': 11000
}
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'}

response = requests.post(url, json=data, headers=headers)
print(response.json())
curl -X POST https://ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio_time \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
-d '{"audio_url":"https://example.com/audio.mp3", "start_time":1000, "end_time":11000}'

Understanding the Parameters

The Split Audio by Time endpoint requires a few parameters to function correctly. Here's a quick breakdown:

1. **audio_url**: The URL of the audio file you want to split.

2. **start_time**: The starting point in milliseconds for the segment extraction.

3. **end_time**: The endpoint in milliseconds, which should be greater than start_time.

4. **async** (optional): If set to true, the API will return a job_id immediately and process the request in the background.

  • audio_url: string (required)
  • start_time: number (required)
  • end_time: number (required)
  • async: boolean (optional)
