In today's fast-paced development landscape, audio processing is a crucial aspect of many applications, particularly for AI agents and automation tools. FFMPEGAPI.net offers a powerful solution for developers looking to split audio files by time intervals without the hassle of server setup or FFmpeg management. In this article, we'll guide you through using our 'Split Audio by Time' endpoint to extract specific audio segments seamlessly.

What is the Split Audio by Time Endpoint?

The 'Split Audio by Time' endpoint of FFMPEGAPI.net allows you to extract a segment of audio from a larger track by specifying start and end times in milliseconds. This is particularly useful for developers creating content pipelines or automation systems where precise audio management is required.

  • Easily extract audio segments based on time intervals.
  • Ideal for applications that need specific audio cues or segments.
  • Supports asynchronous processing for efficiency.

How to Use the Endpoint

To interact with the 'Split Audio by Time' endpoint, you must send a POST request to the following path:

/api/split_audio_time

  • This endpoint requires an audio URL, start time, and end time.
  • You can optionally request the audio processing to run asynchronously.
import requests

url = 'https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio_time'

payload = {
    'audio_url': 'https://example.com/audio.mp3',
    'start_time': 1000,
    'end_time': 11000
}

response = requests.post(url, json=payload)
print(response.json())
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}'
