What is the 'Split Audio by Time' API?

The 'Split Audio by Time' endpoint allows developers to extract a specific range of audio from a given audio file using millisecond timestamps. By sending a simple POST request, you can receive the audio segment you need without the overhead of managing FFmpeg on your own server.

  • No need for local FFmpeg installations.

How to Use the API

Using the 'Split Audio by Time' API is straightforward. You need to provide the audio URL, start time, and end time in milliseconds. The request can be sent asynchronously if desired, allowing you to handle multiple requests simultaneously without blocking your application.

  • Endpoint: POST /api/split_audio_time
  • Content-Type: application/json
  • Parameters: audio_url, start_time, end_time, async (optional)
import requests

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

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