SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Extracting the audio track from a video file normally requires local tools like ffmpeg and manual format configuration. This Skill lets an AI agent pull audio out of any hosted video through a single Pixazo API call, returning an mp3 or m4a file without local processing. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Audio Extraction: Pull the audio track from a video URL and receive it as mp3 (VBR, ~190 kbps) or m4a (AAC 192 kbps), with mp3 as the default. - Guided API Workflow: Handles Pixazo API key setup (env var or ~/.pixazo/api-key), request construction, and error handling for 401/402/429/5xx responses. - Use Case: A podcaster has a 20-minute recorded video interview hosted online and needs just the audio for editing. The agent calls the audio-extract endpoint with the video URL and returns the mp3 link. ## Quick Start Extract the audio from this video URL as an mp3 file using the Pixazo Audio Extractor API.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract audio from a video file using an API?▼

Send a POST request to https://gateway.pixazo.ai/media-tools/v1/audio-extract with your Pixazo API key, the video_url, and a format of mp3 or m4a. The response returns synchronously with the extracted audio URL.

What audio formats does the Pixazo Audio Extractor support?▼

The API outputs mp3 (VBR, around 190 kbps) or m4a (AAC 192 kbps). Mp3 is the default format when no format is specified in the request.

Is there a maximum video length for audio extraction?▼

Yes, source videos up to about 32 minutes are supported. Videos with no audio track are rejected up front rather than being charged.

Why did my audio extraction request return a 401 error?▼

A 401 means the Pixazo API key is missing or invalid. Generate a fresh key at https://api-console.pixazo.ai/api_keys and pass it in the Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key header.

Does audio extraction require polling for results?▼

No, the audio-extract endpoint is synchronous. The JSON response contains the result URL immediately, so no polling loop is needed unlike video or music generation endpoints.
