Understanding the Split Audio by Time Endpoint

The Split Audio by Time endpoint allows you to extract a specific range of audio from a larger audio file. This is particularly useful for applications where you need to clip audio segments based on user input or automated workflows. The endpoint accepts a few parameters, including the URL of the audio file and the specific start and end times for the audio segment you wish to extract.

  • Endpoint: POST /api/split_audio_time
  • Parameters required: audio_url, start_time, end_time
  • Optional parameter: async for background processing
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'
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
data = {'audio_url': 'https://example.com/audio.mp3', 'start_time': 1000, 'end_time': 11000}

response = requests.post(url, json=data, headers=headers)
print(response.json())
