How to Use the Split Audio Endpoint

To access the Split Audio functionality, you will need to send a POST request to the following endpoint: `/api/split_audio`. Below are the required parameters you need to include in your request.

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)
