## About

## What it does
Video Audio Extractor takes a video URL or uploaded video file and submits an async job to extract audio in your chosen format. Send `video_url` to `/url-to-json` or `video` to `/file-to-json`, and you get back a `job_id` you can poll until the output is ready.

You can control the extraction window with `start_time`, `duration`, and `full_audio`. By default, the service extracts a 2-second clip; set `full_audio` to extract from `start_time` to the end of the file. Choose one of the supported output formats: `mp3`, `wav`, `aac`, `ogg`, `flac`, `wma`, or `ac3`.

When the job finishes, `GET /jobs/:job_id` returns the job `status` and, on success, a `url` to the extracted audio file. Pending and failed jobs include a human-readable `message`, which makes it straightforward to track automated media workflows.

Use Video Audio Extractor when you need to pull a soundtrack from a clip, convert a video asset into audio for downstream processing, or generate a short sample from a larger file for review and testing.
