How to Split Audio Using the Split Audio Endpoint

The 'Split Audio' endpoint allows you to divide an audio file into equal parts effortlessly. This can be particularly useful for podcasts, audiobooks, and other audio content where segmentation is needed.

Here’s how to use the API to split an audio file into a specified number of equal parts.

  • Endpoint Path: `/api/split_audio`
  • Method: `POST`
  • Content Type: `application/json`
  • Parameters: `audio_url`, `parts`, and `async`
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"audio_url": "https://example.com/podcast.mp3", "parts": 3}' https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio
import requests

url = 'https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio'
data = {"audio_url": "https://example.com/podcast.mp3", "parts": 3}

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

Understanding the Parameters

When you make a request to the '/api/split_audio' endpoint, you will need to provide the following parameters:

The `audio_url` is mandatory and must point to the audio file you wish to split. The `parts` parameter determines how many segments to create from the audio file, defaulting to 2 if not specified. An optional `async` parameter can be included to process the job in the background.

  • audio_url (string): The URL of the audio file to split.
  • parts (integer): Number of equal parts (2 to 20, default is 2).
  • async (boolean): Process in the background if set to true.
