What is the Trim Audio Endpoint?

The Trim Audio endpoint is part of the FFMPEGAPI.net suite, designed to trim audio files to a specified length.

How to Use the Trim Audio Endpoint

To start using the Trim Audio endpoint, you'll need to send a POST request to the following path: `/api/trim_audio`. This endpoint requires specific parameters to function correctly, which we will outline below.

  • Required parameter: `audio_url` - The URL of the audio file you wish to trim.
  • Required parameter: `desired_length` - The length you want the output audio to be, in seconds.
  • Optional parameter: `fade_duration` - A duration in seconds for a fade-out effect.
