About

This Utility API can be used as a fast and reliable audio extractor from video tool. It allows developers to automate the conversion of videos into high-quality audio formats such as MP3, WAV, AAC, AC3, AMR, FLAC, OGG, and WMA with just a few simple steps.
With this audio extractor from video API, you can easily separate audio from video files and automate the entire conversion process. It’s suitable for creating podcasts, transcriptions, or any other audio-based content without the need for complex or heavy software.
Designed for content creators, developers, and media platforms, this API ensures every extracted file maintains excellent sound quality. It supports multiple audio formats, offering flexibility across platforms and devices.
Try the API in the playground to experience how quickly and efficiently you can extract, convert, and optimize audio from your videos.
Tip: For large-size video files , it’s recommended to use the corresponding JOB API to ensure optimal performance and prevent timeouts.

Authentication

All API requests to ApyHub services need to be authenticated. Currently we support tokens or basic authentication mechanisms. You can generate and view your existing credentials from your workspace settings (on the left side of the navbar) and go to “API Keys".
Points to note:
  • Credential secrets are generated on the fly and are not stored in plain text, so on generating a credential please save the secrets somewhere safe.
  • Use the apy-token as the header parameter to pass the token.
  • Use the Authorization header to send the basic authentication credentials.
