Visit the Space URL to access the web interface where you can:
- Upload video files via drag-and-drop or file selection
- Choose output format and quality
- Preview and download extracted audio
- See real-time processing status

## 📡 API Usage

### Extract Audio (Direct Response)
For files under 10MB, get immediate response:

```bash
curl -X POST -F "video=@video.mp4" \
     -F "output_format=mp3" \
     -F "quality=high" \
     https://your-space.hf.space/extract-audio \
     --output audio.mp3
```

### Extract Audio (Background Job)
For larger files:

```bash
# Submit job
response=$(curl -X POST -F "video=@large_video.mp4" \
     -F "output_format=mp3" \
     https://your-space.hf.space/extract-audio)

# Get job ID
job_id=$(echo $response | jq -r '.job_id')

# Check status
curl https://your-space.hf.space/status/$job_id

# Download when ready
curl https://your-space.hf.space/download/$job_id --output audio.mp3
```

### Python Example

```python
import requests
import time

def extract_audio(video_path, output_format='mp3', quality='medium'):
    url = 'https://your-space.hf.space/extract-audio'
    
    with open(video_path, 'rb') as f:
        files = {'video': f}
        data = {'output_format': output_format, 'quality': quality}
        response = requests.post(url, files=files, data=data)
    
    if response.headers.get('content-type', '').startswith('audio/'):
        # Direct response - save file
        return response.content
    else:
        # Background job - poll for completion
        job_data = response.json()
        job_id = job_data['job_id']
        
        while True:
            status = requests.get(f'{url.replace("/extract-audio", "")}/status/{job_id}').json()
            if status['status'] == 'completed':
                audio = requests.get(f'{url.replace("/extract-audio", "")}/download/{job_id}')
                return audio.content
            elif status['status'] == 'failed':
                raise Exception(f"Processing failed: {status.get('error')}")
            time.sleep(2)

# Usage
audio_data = extract_audio('my_video.mp4', 'mp3', 'high')
with open('output.mp3', 'wb') as f:
    f.write(audio_data)
```
