## About

## What it does
Video Audio Extractor turns a video file or a video URL into an audio extraction job, then gives you a job ID to poll until the output is ready. Use it when you need to pull audio from an uploaded clip or a remote MP4 without handling media processing yourself.

Send a binary `video` file to `POST /file-to-json`, or pass a `video_url` to `POST /url-to-json`. Both endpoints accept optional `duration`, `full_audio`, `start_time`, and `output_format` settings so you can extract a short clip or run from a chosen offset to the end of the file. Supported output formats are `mp3`, `wav`, `aac`, `ogg`, `flac`, `wma`, and `ac3`. Each submission can also include `persistent` as a query parameter.

The response returns a `job_id` immediately. Check `GET /jobs/:job_id` to see whether the job is `pending`, `successful`, or `failed`. When the job succeeds, the status response includes a `url` for the extracted audio file. This fits workflows like media ingestion, clipping podcast audio from video, or generating audio assets for later transcription and review.
