What is the Split Audio Endpoint?

The Split Audio endpoint at FFMPEGAPI.net allows you to divide an audio file into a specified number of equal-duration parts. This functionality is crucial for developers looking to automate audio handling in applications like content pipelines and SaaS platforms.

  • Easy integration into existing applications.
  • No need for local FFmpeg setup or infrastructure.
  • Supports asynchronous processing for lengthy audio files.

How to Use the Split Audio Endpoint

To utilize the Split Audio feature, you need to send a POST request to the /api/split_audio endpoint. You'll need to provide the audio URL that you want to split, along with the number of parts you wish to create.

  • Audio URL is a required parameter.
  • Specify the number of parts (default is 2, max is 20).
  • Use asynchronous processing for large files.
import requests

url = 'https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio'
data = {
    'audio_url': 'https://example.com/podcast.mp3',
    'parts': 3
}

response = requests.post(url, json=data)
print(response.json())
curl -X POST https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"audio_url":"https://example.com/podcast.mp3", "parts": 3}'
