# Extract Audio
Extract the audio track from a video file and save it as MP3, WAV, or M4A.
## API Endpoint
`POST /api/v1/tools/extract-audio`
Accepts multipart form data with a video file and a JSON `settings` field.
## Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| format | string | No | `"mp3"` | Output audio format: `mp3`, `wav`, `m4a` |
## Example Request
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/extract-audio \
-H "Authorization: Bearer si_your-api-key" \
-F "file=@clip.mp4" \
-F 'settings={"format": "mp3"}'
```
## Example Response
```json
{
"jobId": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
"downloadUrl": "/api/v1/download/a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890/clip.mp3",
"originalSize": 12500000,
"processedSize": 3200000
}
```
## Notes
- If the video has no audio track, the request returns a 400 error.
- MP3 is lossy but widely compatible. WAV is lossless but large. M4A (AAC) offers a good balance of quality and size.
- When the source audio is already AAC and the output format is M4A, the audio stream is copied without re-encoding.
