What is the Split Audio Feature?

The Split Audio feature of FFMPEGAPI.net allows developers to split an audio file into a specified number of equal-duration parts. This is particularly useful for podcasters, musicians, and content creators who need to divide long audio recordings into manageable segments for easier editing or distribution.

  • Supports audio formats like MP3, WAV, and more.
  • Can split audio into 2 to 20 equal parts.

How to Use the Split Audio Endpoint

To utilize the Split Audio feature, developers can make a POST request to the /api/split_audio endpoint. The request requires the audio URL and can optionally include the number of parts to split the audio into.

  • Endpoint: `/api/split_audio`
  • Method: `POST`
  • Content Type: `application/json`
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' \
