June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

As developers increasingly leverage audio and video automation tools for AI agents, the ability to manipulate audio files efficiently becomes essential. FFMPEGAPI.net offers a powerful hosted REST API that simplifies audio processing tasks, including splitting audio into fixed-duration segments. This blog explores how to use the Split Audio by Segments endpoint effectively.

What is the Split Audio by Segments Endpoint?

The Split Audio by Segments endpoint allows you to divide audio files into smaller segments of a specified duration. It is particularly useful for applications that require audio content to be segmented for easier handling, such as podcasts, lectures, and music tracks.

  • Creates audio segments of a specified length.
  • Supports flexible segment durations from 1 to 3600 seconds.
  • Can process audio files in the background using asynchronous processing.

How to Use the Split Audio by Segments API

To use this endpoint, you simply need to make a POST request to the following URL: /api/split_audio_segments. You'll provide the audio URL and optionally specify the segment duration.

import requests

url = 'https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio_segments'
data = {
    'audio_url': 'https://example.com/podcast.mp3',
    'segment_duration': 10
}
response = requests.post(url, json=data)
print(response.json())
curl -X POST https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio_segments \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     -d '{"audio_url": "https://example.com/podcast.mp3", "segment_duration": 10}'
