Using the Split Video Endpoint

  • Endpoint: POST /api/split_video
  • Content Type: application/json or form data
  • Parameters: video_url (required), split_at_seconds (optional)
curl -X POST https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/split_video -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"video_url": "https://example.com/video.mp4", "split_at_seconds": 12.5}'
import requests

url = 'https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/split_video'
data = {"video_url": "https://example.com/video.mp4", "split_at_seconds": 12.5}
response = requests.post(url, json=data)
print(response.json())

Parameter Details

When using the Split Video endpoint, it's crucial to understand the parameters involved:

The 'video_url' parameter is mandatory and should point to the video you wish to split. The optional 'split_at_seconds' parameter lets you specify the exact moment to split the video. If you don't provide this parameter, the API will automatically select the midpoint of the video's duration.

Automating video editing tasks is made simple with FFMPEGAPI.net's Split Video endpoint. By leveraging this hosted REST API, developers can efficiently integrate powerful video processing capabilities into their applications without the overhead of server management.
