About

The Extract Audio from Video Job API transforms the process of audio extraction into a scalable, asynchronous workflow. Submit a job with your video source and preferred audio formats—such as MP3, WAV, AAC, OGG, or FLAC—then let the system handle the extraction behind the scenes. As processing occurs in the background, you can perform other tasks and return later to retrieve the completed audio file.
This job-based API reduces manual complexity for content creators and developers. By streamlining the audio extraction process, you can maintain a more organized and efficient workflow, especially when handling multiple or large video files.
Try the Audio Extraction Job API in the API playground to experience quick, hassle-free, and automated audio extraction at scale.
Apy Jobs are long running calls which are split into two actions:
1. Submitting the job
2. Checking the status of the job and receiving the response on successful completion of the job.

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.
