# Demucs API

> Sépare une piste musicale en stems distincts comme les voix, la batterie, la basse, la guitare et le piano, avec plusieurs variantes

Sépare une chanson en pistes instrumentales individuelles. Choisissez une variante Demucs avec `model` (htdemucs_6s par défaut, qui produit aussi la guitare et le piano), limitez la sortie avec `stems` et ajustez la qualité avec `shifts` (1 à 10), `overlap` (0 à 1) et `segment_length`. Les stems sont renvoyés sous forme de fichiers mp3 ou wav, un par source.

- Model id: `demucs`
- Made by: Meta
- Category: Audio
- Output: json
- Price per second of your input audio: $0.0007 / second of input audio (cheapest run $0.001 (1 API credit))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/demucs`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/demucs`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/fr/developers/models/demucs

## Pricing

Price: **$0.0007 / second of input audio**. Price per second 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 $0.007 = 7 API credits (10 s input audio × $0.0007).

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/demucs` 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 pointant vers le fichier audio pour la séparation des pistes. |
| `model` |  | enum (string) | no | `htdemucs_6s` | `htdemucs`, `htdemucs_ft`, `htdemucs_6s`, `hdemucs_mmi`, `mdx`, `mdx_extra`, `mdx_q`, `mdx_extra_q` | Modèle Demucs sélectionné pour la séparation des pistes. |
| `stems` |  | array of enum (string) \| null | no | `["vocals","drums","bass","other","guitar","piano"]` |  | Sélection de piste parmi les options disponibles du modèle : vocals, drums, bass, other, guitar, piano (pour le modèle 6s). Définissez cette valeur sur None pour extraire toutes les pistes proposées par le modèle plutôt qu'une sélection spécifique. |
| `segment_length` |  | integer \| null | no |  | ≥ 1 | Durée du segment traité en secondes, avec une valeur par défaut spécifique au modèle. La réduire diminue l'utilisation de la mémoire, mais peut dégrader la qualité ; le minimum est 1. |
| `shifts` |  | integer | no | `1` | 1 – 10 | Nombre de décalages aléatoires de la stabilisation équivariante ; une valeur plus élevée augmente le temps de traitement, mais améliore la qualité. |
| `overlap` |  | number | no | `0.25` | 0 – 1 | Le chevauchement des segments augmente le temps de traitement, mais peut améliorer la qualité ; la plage prise en charge est 0.0–1.0. |
| `output_format` |  | enum (string) | no | `mp3` | `wav`, `mp3` | Format audio utilisé pour enregistrer les pistes séparées. |

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"
}
```

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "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/demucs?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "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/demucs?wait=20", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "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 = {
    "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/demucs", 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": "demucs",
      "input": {
        "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.
