# ACE Step Audio Outpaint API

> Amplía un clip de audio existente antes de su inicio o después de su final con música compuesta nueva

Continúa una pista proporcionada mediante `audio_url`. `extend_before_duration` y `extend_after_duration` añaden hasta 107 segundos cada uno al principio o al final, y el valor predeterminado es 30 segundos después. El estilo procede de `tags`, con `lyrics` opcionales para las partes añadidas. El número de pasos, el programador y los ajustes de guía coinciden con los de los demás modelos ACE Step.

- Model id: `ace-step/audio-outpaint`
- Made by: ACE Studio
- Category: Text to Music
- Output: audio
- Price per second of your output audio: $0.0002 / second of output audio (cheapest run $0.001 (1 API credit))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/ace-step/audio-outpaint`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/ace-step/audio-outpaint`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/es/developers/models/ace-step/audio-outpaint

## Pricing

Price: **$0.0002 / second of output audio**. Price per second of your output audio: the input files are measured before the run (length, resolution, frame rate). The quote measures the same files and is exactly what the run charges.

The full example input below costs $0.006 = 6 API credits (30 s output audio × $0.0002).

Prices are the upstream price in USD, paid from the API balance in API credits (1000 API credits = 1 USD). `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/ace-step/audio-outpaint` with the same JSON body returns the exact price for that input; the quote is exactly what a run charges. Invalid input is never charged and failed or canceled requests are refunded automatically.

## Input parameters

Send either the canonical name or the native field name (not both). Canonical names are the same across models.

| Parameter | Canonical name | Type | Required | Default | Allowed values / range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `audio_url` | `audio` | string (audio URL) | yes |  |  | URL del archivo de audio para la extensión. |
| `extend_before_duration` |  | number | no | `0` | 0 – 107 | Duración de la extensión antes del principio del audio, en segundos. |
| `extend_after_duration` |  | number | no | `30` | 0 – 107 | Duración de la extensión después del final del audio, en segundos. |
| `tags` |  | string | yes |  |  | Etiquetas de estilo de audio proporcionadas como géneros separados por comas, con `prompt` disponible como forma alternativa de proporcionarlas. |
| `lyrics` |  | string | no | `` |  | Letra cantada, con las secciones de la canción organizadas mediante controles como [verse], [chorus] y [bridge]. Para audio sin letra cantada, omite esta entrada o proporciona solo [inst] o [instrumental]. |
| `number_of_steps` |  | integer | no | `27` | 3 – 60 | Cantidad de pasos utilizada durante la generación de audio. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Semilla para una generación reproducible, elegida aleatoriamente a menos que proporciones un valor. |
| `scheduler` |  | enum (string) | no | `euler` | `euler`, `heun` | Programador utilizado durante la generación. |
| `guidance_type` |  | enum (string) | no | `apg` | `cfg`, `apg`, `cfg_star` | Tipo de CFG utilizado durante la generación. |
| `granularity_scale` |  | integer | no | `10` | -100 – 100 | Escala de granularidad aplicada durante la generación. Aumentarla puede reducir los artefactos. |
| `guidance_interval` |  | number | no | `0.5` | 0 – 1 | Porción del programa de generación que recibe orientación: elegir 0.5 la restringe a los pasos de 0.25 * infer_steps a 0.75 * infer_steps, dejando el principio y el final sin orientación. |
| `guidance_interval_decay` |  | number | no | `0` | 0 – 1 | Decaimiento de la orientación dentro del intervalo de generación: 0.0 mantiene el decaimiento desactivado; de lo contrario, la escala disminuye durante ese intervalo desde guidance_scale hasta min_guidance_scale. |
| `guidance_scale` |  | number | no | `15` | 0 – 200 | Escala de orientación aplicada durante la generación. |
| `minimum_guidance_scale` |  | number | no | `3` | 0 – 200 | Escala de orientación mínima alcanzada después del decaimiento durante la generación. |
| `tag_guidance_scale` |  | number | no | `5` | 0 – 10 | Escala de orientación de etiquetas aplicada durante la generación. |
| `lyric_guidance_scale` |  | number | no | `1.5` | 0 – 10 | Escala de orientación de la letra aplicada durante la generación. |

File parameters (`audio`) take a public `https://` URL, a `data:` URI up to 10 MB, or the `file_url` of an upload from `POST /files`.

## Example input

Required parameters only:

```json
{
  "tags": "lofi, hiphop, drum and bass, trap, chill",
  "audio": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3"
}
```

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "tags": "lofi, hiphop, drum and bass, trap, chill",
  "audio_url": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3"
}
```

## Run it

Set `DOITONG_API_KEY` to a key from https://doitong.com/developers/dashboard#keys. `?wait=20` returns the finished request in the same call when it is ready within 20 seconds; otherwise poll `GET /requests/{id}` (it also accepts `?wait=`), or pass `webhook_url`.

### curl

```bash
# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
curl -X POST "https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/ace-step/audio-outpaint?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "tags": "lofi, hiphop, drum and bass, trap, chill",
    "audio_url": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3"
  }'

# Still "queued" or "running"? Poll with the id from the response:
curl "https://api.doitong.com/v1/requests/REQUEST_ID?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY"
```

### JavaScript

```javascript
const API = "https://api.doitong.com/v1";
const headers = {
  "Authorization": "Bearer " + process.env.DOITONG_API_KEY,
  "Content-Type": "application/json",
};

// Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
let res = await fetch(API + "/run/ace-step/audio-outpaint?wait=20", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "tags": "lofi, hiphop, drum and bass, trap, chill",
    "audio_url": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3"
  }),
});
let request = await res.json();
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(request.error.code + ": " + request.error.message);

// Not finished yet: long-poll until it is
while (request.status === "queued" || request.status === "running") {
  res = await fetch(API + "/requests/" + request.id + "?wait=20", { headers });
  request = await res.json();
}
if (request.status !== "succeeded") throw new Error(JSON.stringify(request.error));
console.log(request.outputs.map((o) => o.url), request.cost.credits + " API credits ($" + request.cost.usd + ")");
```

### Python

```python
import os
import requests

API = "https://api.doitong.com/v1"
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + os.environ["DOITONG_API_KEY"]}

payload = {
    "tags": "lofi, hiphop, drum and bass, trap, chill",
    "audio_url": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3",
}

# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
r = requests.post(API + "/run/ace-step/audio-outpaint", params={"wait": 20}, json=payload, headers=headers)
request = r.json()
if not r.ok:
    raise RuntimeError(request["error"]["code"] + ": " + request["error"]["message"])

# Not finished yet: long-poll until it is
while request["status"] in ("queued", "running"):
    request = requests.get(API + "/requests/" + request["id"], params={"wait": 20}, headers=headers).json()
if request["status"] != "succeeded":
    raise RuntimeError(request["error"])
print([o["url"] for o in request["outputs"]], request["cost"]["credits"], "API credits", "$" + request["cost"]["usd"])
```

### MCP

The MCP server at `https://api.doitong.com/v1/mcp` exposes the tools `search_models`, `get_model`, `quote`, `run`, `get_request`, `cancel_request`, `list_requests`, `create_upload` and `get_account`. A `run` call for this model:

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "run",
    "arguments": {
      "model_id": "ace-step/audio-outpaint",
      "input": {
        "tags": "lofi, hiphop, drum and bass, trap, chill",
        "audio_url": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3"
      },
      "wait_seconds": 20
    }
  }
}
```

## Response

Every call returns a request object. `status` is one of `queued`, `running`, `succeeded`, `failed`, `canceled`. `outputs` lists the generated files with URLs on our storage (kept forever, or 7 days with `?storage=temporary`; `storage` says which); `output` is the model's own result object with the same URLs.
