Using the Split Audio by Time Endpoint

One of the most useful features of our API is the Split Audio by Time endpoint. This allows you to extract a specific segment of audio based on millisecond timestamps. This functionality is particularly helpful for developers who need to manipulate audio files in their applications easily.

  • Extract audio between specified start and end times.
  • Supports asynchronous processing for large files.
  • Returns the extracted audio segment directly.
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())

API Parameters

When using the Split Audio by Time endpoint, you'll need to provide several parameters to ensure the correct audio segment is extracted.

  • audio_url: URL of the audio file (required)
  • start_time: Start time in milliseconds (required)
