This functionality is perfect for applications that require precise audio manipulation, such as podcasts, music editing, and sound design.

  • HTTP Method: POST
  • Content Type: application/json
  • Required Parameters: audio_url, start_time, end_time
import requests

url = 'https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio_time'
data = {
    'audio_url': 'https://example.com/audio.mp3',
    'start_time': 1000,
    'end_time': 11000
}

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

Parameters for Splitting Audio

When using the '/api/split_audio_time' endpoint, you need to provide the following parameters:

Make sure to follow the requirements for each parameter to ensure a successful audio split.

  • audio_url (string, required): The URL of the audio file you want to process.
  • start_time (number, required): The starting point for audio extraction in milliseconds.
  • end_time (number, required): The endpoint for audio extraction in milliseconds (must be greater than start_time).
  • async (boolean, optional): If set to true, the request will return a job_id for background processing.

By leveraging the capabilities of FFMPEGAPI.net, developers can seamlessly integrate audio processing into their workflows. The '/api/split_audio_time' endpoint provides an efficient and straightforward way to extract audio segments, making it an essential tool for any automation project.
