Splitting Audio by Time: API Overview
The 'Split Audio by Time' endpoint allows you to extract a specific range from an audio file using millisecond timestamps. This is particularly useful for applications that require precise audio manipulation, such as trimming clips for podcasts or extracting sound bites.
- Endpoint Path: /api/split_audio_time
- HTTP Method: POST
- Returns audio between specified start_time and end_time.
How to Use the Split Audio by Time Endpoint
To effectively use this endpoint, you'll need to provide the audio URL along with the start and end times in milliseconds. Optionally, you can set the async parameter to process in the background.
- audio_url: URL of the audio file (required).
- start_time: Starting point in milliseconds (required).
- end_time: Ending point in milliseconds (required, must be greater than start_time).
- async: Process in the background if true (optional).
curl -X POST https://ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio_time \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"audio_url":"https://example.com/audio.mp3", "start_time":1000, "end_time":11000}'import requests
url = 'https://ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio_time'
data = {
'audio_url': 'https://example.com/audio.mp3',
'start_time': 1000,
'end_time': 11000
}
response = requests.post(url, json=data)
print(response.json())Whether you're looking to trim audio for a podcast, extract sound from videos, or create automated audio workflows, FFMPEGAPI.net simplifies the process with its easy-to-use API. With no server management required and secure API-key authentication, you can focus on building your application while leaving the heavy lifting of audio processing to us.
