How to Split Audio into Segments

With FFMPEGAPI.net, you can easily split audio files using the 'Split Audio by Segments' endpoint. This feature allows you to create audio segments of a specified length in seconds, which can be incredibly useful for breaking down longer audio tracks into manageable pieces.

  • Endpoint: POST /api/split_audio_segments
  • Content Type: application/json
  • Parameters: audio_url (required), segment_duration (optional), async (optional)
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 'Split Audio by Segments' endpoint, you need to provide the following parameters:

The 'audio_url' is the only required parameter, which should point to the audio file you wish to split. The 'segment_duration' allows you to define how long each segment should be, with a default of 30 seconds, but you can set it anywhere from 1 to 3600 seconds. Finally, the 'async' parameter lets you process the job in the background, ensuring your application remains responsive.

  • audio_url: The URL of the audio file (required)
  • segment_duration: Duration of each segment in seconds (default 30)
  • async: Process in the background (optional)
