June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

In the fast-paced world of social media, creating engaging video content often requires precise audio manipulation. FFMPEGAPI.net offers a powerful hosted REST API that allows developers to easily split audio segments by time, making it the ideal tool for automating your video workflows. This article will explore the Split Audio by Time API endpoint, explaining how to use it effectively for your social media projects.

What is the Split Audio by Time API?

The Split Audio by Time endpoint allows users to extract specific segments of audio from a given audio file by specifying start and end times in milliseconds. This feature is particularly useful for content creators who need to trim audio clips for social media videos while saving time and effort.

  • Extract audio segments from any audio file.
  • Specify start and end times in milliseconds.
  • Supports asynchronous processing for larger files.

How to Use the Split Audio by Time API

To utilize the Split Audio by Time API, you need to send a POST request to the endpoint. This endpoint requires several parameters, including the audio URL and the start and end times for the section you wish to extract.

Here's a breakdown of the required parameters:

  • audio_url: The URL of the audio file you want to process.
  • start_time: The beginning of the audio segment (in milliseconds).
  • end_time: The end of the audio segment (in milliseconds), which must be greater than the start time.
  • async: An optional flag to process the job asynchronously.
import requests

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

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