How to Use the Split Audio by Time API

To utilize the Split Audio by Time API, you need to make a POST request to the endpoint: /api/split_audio_time. This endpoint requires the URL of your audio file and the start and end timestamps for the segment you want to extract.

  • Required parameters: 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'
data = {
    'audio_url': 'https://example.com/audio.mp3',
    'start_time': 1000,
