# Sam Audio · Span Separate API

> Aísla un sonido del audio mediante intervalos temporales proporcionados por ti, con una indicación de texto opcional

En lugar de depender solo del texto, pasas `spans` que marcan cuándo aparece el sonido objetivo en `audio_url`. `prompt` es opcional, pero ayuda a identificar el tipo de sonido. `trim_to_span` puede recortar la salida al intervalo indicado y `use_sound_activity_ranking` permite volver a clasificar sin un prompt. Devuelve audio `target` y `residual` en wav o mp3.

- Model id: `sam-audio/span-separate`
- Made by: Meta
- Category: Audio
- Output: json
- Price per 30 seconds of your input audio: from $0.05 / 30 seconds of input audio (cheapest run $0.05 (50 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/sam-audio/span-separate`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/sam-audio/span-separate`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/es/developers/models/sam-audio/span-separate

## Pricing

Price: **from $0.05 / 30 seconds of input audio** (the lowest tier; the quote prices your exact input). Price per 30 seconds of your input 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 $0.05 = 50 API credits (1 × 30 s input audio × $0.05).

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/sam-audio/span-separate` 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 procesarlo. |
| `prompt` |  | string \| null | no |  |  | Ayuda para identificar el sonido al extraer audio del intervalo. Se recomienda, aunque no es obligatorio, una descripción textual del sonido que se quiere aislar. |
| `spans` |  | array of object {start, end, include} | yes |  |  | Intervalos de tiempo que contienen el sonido objetivo que se quiere aislar. |
| `spans[].start` |  | number | yes |  | ≥ 0 | Marca de tiempo inicial del intervalo, medida en segundos. |
| `spans[].end` |  | number | yes |  | ≥ 0 | Marca de tiempo final del intervalo, medida en segundos. |
| `spans[].include` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Inclusión de sonidos dentro del intervalo: True los incluye, mientras que False los excluye. |
| `reranking_candidates` |  | integer | no | `1` | 1 – 7 | Número de candidatos utilizado solo con un prompt de texto: se generan y clasifican tantos candidatos como se indique. La separación basada únicamente en intervalos ignora esta configuración. |
| `acceleration` |  | enum (string) | no | `balanced` | `fast`, `balanced`, `quality` | Nivel de aceleración aplicado al procesamiento. |
| `max_chunk_duration` |  | number | no | `60` | 10 – 60 | Límite de audio por pasada, medido en segundos, a partir del cual el procesamiento utiliza fragmentos superpuestos que se mezclan entre sí. |
| `chunk_overlap` |  | number | no | `5` | 0 – 30 | Duración de la superposición entre fragmentos, medida en segundos, utilizada para la mezcla con fundido cruzado. |
| `use_sound_activity_ranking` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Opción de clasificación de actividad sonora que requiere reranking_candidates > 1; permite una reclasificación eficaz para la separación basada únicamente en intervalos sin un prompt de texto. Los candidatos se puntúan según la proximidad entre sus regiones detectadas sin silencio y los intervalos proporcionados. |
| `trim_to_span` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Opción de duración de salida entre el intervalo especificado y el audio completo. Al activarla, recorta al rango temporal del intervalo; False conserva la duración completa y aísla el sonido objetivo durante todo el audio. |
| `output_format` |  | enum (string) | no | `wav` | `wav`, `mp3` | Formato del audio generado. |

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
{
  "audio": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3",
  "spans": [
    {
      "end": 10,
      "include": true,
      "start": 6
    }
  ]
}
```

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "audio_url": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3",
  "spans": [
    {
      "end": 10,
      "include": true,
      "start": 6
    }
  ]
}
```

## 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/sam-audio/span-separate?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{

        "end": 10,
        "include": true,
        "start": 6
      }
    ]
  }'

# 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"

### 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": "sam-audio/span-separate",
      "input": {
        "audio_url": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3",
        "spans": [
          {
            "end": 10,
            "include": true,
            "start": 6
          }
        ]
      },
      "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.
