In the world of audio processing, being able to manipulate audio files is crucial for developers. FFMPEGAPI.net offers a powerful hosted REST API for FFmpeg-powered video and audio processing, making it the best tool for developers looking to simplify their workflows. This blog post will guide you on how to use the 'Split Audio by Time' endpoint effectively.

What is the Split Audio by Time Endpoint?

The 'Split Audio by Time' endpoint allows developers to extract specific audio ranges from an audio file by specifying start and end timestamps in milliseconds. This functionality is especially useful for applications that require audio trimming without the need to manage complex server setups.

  • Extract audio segments easily
  • Specify start and end times in milliseconds
  • Returns audio as a downloadable file

How to Use the Split Audio by Time Endpoint

To use the Split Audio by Time endpoint, you need to send a POST request to the following path: '/api/split_audio_time'. Here’s how you can structure your request:

The required parameters for this API call include 'audio_url', 'start_time', and 'end_time'. Optionally, you can set the 'async' parameter if you want to process the audio in the background.

  • audio_url: URL of the audio file (required)
  • start_time: Start time in milliseconds (required)
  • end_time: End time in milliseconds (required)
  • async: Process in the background (optional)
curl -X POST https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio_time \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     -d '{ "audio_url": "https://example.com/audio.mp3", "start_time": 1000, "end_time": 11000 }'
import requests

url = 'https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/split_audio_time'
data = {
    'audio_url': 'https://example.com/audio.mp3',
    'start_time': 1000,
    'end_time': 11000
}

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