Introducing the Split Audio Endpoint

The Split Audio endpoint at FFMPEGAPI.net allows developers to split an audio file into a specified number of equal-duration parts. This is particularly useful for podcasters, musicians, and anyone who needs to manage audio content efficiently.

  • Endpoint Path: `/api/split_audio`
  • HTTP Method: POST
  • Content Type: application/json

How to Use the Split Audio Endpoint

To use the Split Audio endpoint, you need to provide the audio file's URL and specify how many parts you want it divided into. By default, it will split the audio into 2 parts, but you can request between 2 to 20 parts.

Additionally, you can process the request asynchronously, returning a job ID for later retrieval of the results.

  • Required Parameters:
  • - `audio_url`: The URL of the audio file to be split.
  • Optional Parameters:
  • - `parts`: Number of equal parts (default is 2).
  • - `async`: If true, processes the job in the background.
curl -X POST https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"audio_url": "https://example.com/podcast.mp3", "parts": 3}'
import requests

url = 'https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio'
data = {'audio_url': 'https://example.com/podcast.mp3', 'parts': 3}
response = requests.post(url, json=data)
print(response.json())
