name: audiopod description: Use AudioPod AI's API for audio processing tasks including AI music generation (text-to-music, text-to-rap, instrumentals, samples, vocals), stem separation, text-to-speech, noise reduction, speech-to-text transcription, speaker separation, and media extraction. Use when the user needs to generate music/songs/rap from text, split a song into stems/vocals/instruments, generate speech from text, clean up noisy audio, transcribe audio/video, or extract audio from YouTube/URLs. Requires AUDIOPOD_API_KEY env var or pass api_key directly.

AudioPod AI

Full audio processing API: music generation, stem separation, TTS, noise reduction, transcription, speaker separation, wallet management.

Setup

pip install audiopod  # Python
npm install audiopod  # Node.js

Auth: set AUDIOPOD_API_KEY env var or pass to client constructor.

Getting an API Key

1. Sign up at https://audiopod.ai/auth/signup (free, no credit card required)
2. Go to https://www.audiopod.ai/dashboard/account/api-keys
3. Click "Create API Key" and copy the key (starts with ap_)
4. Add funds to your wallet at https://www.audiopod.ai/dashboard/account/wallet (pay-as-you-go, no subscription)

from audiopod import AudioPod
client = AudioPod()  # uses AUDIOPOD_API_KEY env var
# or: client = AudioPod(api_key="ap_...")

AI Music Generation

Generate songs, rap, instrumentals, samples, and vocals from text prompts.

Tasks: text2music (song with vocals), text2rap (rap), prompt2instrumental (instrumental), lyric2vocals (vocals only), text2samples (loops/samples), audio2audio (style transfer), songbloom

    duration=60
)
print(result["output_url"])

# Generate rap
result = client.music.rap(
    prompt="Lo-Fi Hip Hop, 100 BPM, male rap, melancholy, keyboard chords",
    lyrics="Verse 1:\nStarted from the bottom, now we climbing...",

Text to Speech

Generate speech from text with 50+ voices in 60+ languages. Supports voice cloning.

Voice Types

• 50+ production-ready voices — multilingual, supporting 60+ languages with auto-detection
• Custom clones — clone any voice with ~5 seconds of audio sample

Python SDK

# Generate speech and wait for result
result = client.voice.generate(
    text="Hello, world! This is a test.",
    voice_id=123,
    speed=1.0
)
print(result["output_url"])

# Async: submit then poll
job = client.voice.speak(
    text="Hello world",
    voice_id=123,
    speed=1.0
)
status = client.voice.get_job(job["id"])
result = client.voice.wait_for_completion(job["id"], timeout=300)

# List all available voices
voices = client.voice.list()
for v in voices:
    print(f"{v['id']}: {v['name']}")

# Clone a voice (needs ~5 sec audio sample)
new_voice = client.voice.create(
    name="My Voice Clone",
    audio_file="./sample.mp3",
    description="Cloned from recording"
)

# Get/delete voice
voice = client.voice.get(voice_id=123)
client.voice.delete(voice_id=123)

cURL (Raw HTTP — most reliable)

# List all voices
curl "https://api.audiopod.ai/api/v1/voice/voice-profiles" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $AUDIOPOD_API_KEY"

# Generate speech (FORM DATA, not JSON!)

  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUDIOPOD_API_KEY" \
  -d "input_text=Hello world, this is a test" \

# Poll job status
curl "https://api.audiopod.ai/api/v1/voice/tts-jobs/{JOB_ID}/status" \

# Delete voice
curl -X DELETE "https://api.audiopod.ai/api/v1/voice/voices/VOICE_ID" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $AUDIOPOD_API_KEY"

Generate Parameters

Field	Required	Description
input_text	yes	Text to speak (max 5000 chars). Use input_text for raw HTTP, text for SDK
audio_format	no	mp3, wav, ogg (default: mp3)
speed	no	0.25 - 4.0 (default: 1.0)
language	no	ISO code, auto-detected if omitted

Response Format

// Generate response
{"job_id": 12345, "status": "pending", "credits_reserved": 25}

// Status response (completed)
{"status": "completed", "output_url": "https://r2-url/generated.mp3"}

Important Notes

• Raw HTTP generate endpoint uses form data, not JSON. Field is input_text not text
• SDK endpoint (/api/v1/voice/tts/generate) uses JSON with field text
• Output files may be WAV disguised as .mp3 — convert with ffmpeg -i output.mp3 -c:a aac real.m4a
• ~55 credits per generation, wallet-based billing

Auth Headers

Two auth styles work:

• X-API-Key: ap_... — works for most endpoints
• Authorization: Bearer ap_... — works for TTS generate/status

Known Issues

• SDK method signatures may differ from raw API — when in doubt, use cURL examples
• TTS output stored on Cloudflare R2, download via output_url in job status
• TTS output files may be WAV disguised as .mp3 — convert with ffmpeg before sending via WhatsApp
