Splitting Audio by Segments
One of the key features of FFMPEGAPI.net is the ability to split audio into fixed-duration segments. This is particularly useful for podcasters, musicians, and developers looking to create audio snippets for various applications.
To use this feature, you simply need to make a POST request to the /api/split_audio_segments endpoint with the necessary parameters.
- Specify the audio URL you want to process.
- Set the segment duration (default is 30 seconds).
- Optionally, you can process the request asynchronously.
curl -X POST https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio_segments -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"audio_url": "https://example.com/podcast.mp3", "segment_duration": 10}'import requests
url = 'https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio_segments'
data = {"audio_url": "https://example.com/podcast.mp3", "segment_duration": 10}
response = requests.post(url, json=data)
print(response.json())Parameters Explained
When using the /api/split_audio_segments endpoint, you’ll need to provide the following parameters:
The 'audio_url' parameter is required, while 'segment_duration' and 'async' are optional.
- 'audio_url': The URL of the audio file you want to split.
- 'segment_duration': The length of each segment in seconds (default is 30, range is from 1 to 3600).
- 'async': If true, the processing will happen in the background, and a job_id will be returned immediately.
