How to Use the Split Audio by Segments Endpoint

The 'Split Audio by Segments' endpoint allows you to specify the audio URL and segment duration. By default, segments are 30 seconds long, but you can customize this up to 3600 seconds.

The endpoint can be accessed using a simple POST request, making it easy to integrate into your existing workflows.
