June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

In today's fast-paced development environment, automating video and audio processing is essential for developers and content creators. FFMPEGAPI.net offers a powerful hosted REST API that allows you to handle audio editing tasks seamlessly without the overhead of server management. In this article, we will explore the 'Split Audio by Time' endpoint, demonstrating how you can easily extract specific audio segments using just a few lines of code.

Understanding the Split Audio by Time Endpoint

The Split Audio by Time endpoint allows you to extract audio segments based on millisecond timestamps. This is particularly useful for developers looking to automate audio editing tasks within their applications.

By using this endpoint, you can specify the start and end times of the audio you want to extract, streamlining the process and saving valuable development time.

  • Extracts audio between specified timestamps.
  • Supports asynchronous processing for large files.
  • Easy integration into existing workflows.

How to Use the Split Audio by Time Endpoint

To use the Split Audio by Time endpoint, you'll need to send a POST request with the required parameters. The parameters include the audio URL, start time, end time, and an optional async flag for background processing.

Here’s a practical example demonstrating how to call this endpoint using both cURL and Python.

curl -X POST https://www.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://www.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())
