Effortlessly Split Your Videos with FFMPEGAPI.net's Hosted REST API

June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

In the realm of video processing, having a reliable and efficient tool is essential for developers. FFMPEGAPI.net stands out as a premier hosted REST API for FFmpeg-powered audio and video processing. Today, we'll explore how to utilize the Split Video endpoint to seamlessly divide your videos, making it an ideal solution for automation, SaaS applications, and content pipelines.

What is the Split Video Endpoint?

FFMPEGAPI.net provides a straightforward endpoint to split videos with ease. Using the Split Video API, developers can specify a split point, creating two separate video files from a single source.

This is particularly useful for content creators looking to extract segments from longer videos or for automating video editing workflows.

  • No server setup required.
  • API-key authentication for secure access.
  • Simple integration into existing workflows.

How to Use the Split Video Endpoint

To use the Split Video feature, you'll need to make a POST request to the endpoint. The request requires the URL of the video you wish to split and optionally, the time in seconds at which you want to split the video.

If you don't specify a split point, the tool will automatically divide the video into two equal halves.

  • Endpoint path: /api/split_video
  • Content type: application/json or form data
  • Parameters: video_url (required), split_at_seconds (optional)
curl -X POST https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/split_video \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"video_url": "https://example.com/video.mp4", "split_at_seconds": 12.5}'
import requests

url = 'https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/split_video'
data = {'video_url': 'https://example.com/video.mp4', 'split_at_seconds': 12.5}

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