June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

In the world of video processing, having the right tools can make all the difference. FFMPEGAPI.net offers a powerful hosted REST API for FFmpeg-powered video and audio processing, eliminating the need for complex server setups. This article will guide you on how to split videos using the FFMPEGAPI.net's Split Video API endpoint, perfect for developers working on automation and content pipelines.

What is the Split Video API?

The Split Video API is designed to split a video into two parts, making it an essential tool for developers looking to automate video processing tasks. By specifying a split point at a given time in seconds, you can easily divide your video content according to your needs.

  • Split a video at a specific time or at the midpoint.
  • Use it for various applications like content creation, video editing, and AI processing.
  • Integrate seamlessly into your existing workflows with ease.

How to Use the Split Video API

Using the Split Video API is straightforward. You need to send a POST request to the /api/split_video endpoint with the required parameters. The API accepts video URLs and an optional split point. If the split point is not provided, it defaults to the midpoint of the video duration.

  • Endpoint: /api/split_video
  • Method: POST
  • Content Type: application/json or form data
  • Required Parameter: video_url (string)
  • Optional Parameter: split_at_seconds (number)
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())
