# Sam Audio · Span Separate API

> Isole un son d’un fichier audio à l’aide d’intervalles temporels fournis, avec un indice textuel facultatif

Au lieu de dépendre uniquement du texte, fournissez `spans` indiquant quand le son cible apparaît dans `audio_url`. Un `prompt` est facultatif, mais aide à identifier le type de son. `trim_to_span` peut limiter la sortie à l’intervalle, et `use_sound_activity_ranking` permet un reclassement sans prompt. Renvoie l’audio `target` et `residual` en wav ou 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/fr/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 du fichier audio à traiter. |
| `prompt` |  | string \| null | no |  |  | Aide à l'identification du son pour extraire l'audio de l'intervalle. Une description textuelle du son à isoler est recommandée, mais pas obligatoire. |
| `spans` |  | array of object {start, end, include} | yes |  |  | Intervalles temporels contenant le son cible à isoler. |
| `spans[].start` |  | number | yes |  | ≥ 0 | Horodatage de début de l'intervalle, mesuré en secondes. |
| `spans[].end` |  | number | yes |  | ≥ 0 | Horodatage de fin de l'intervalle, mesuré en secondes. |
| `spans[].include` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Inclusion des sons dans l'intervalle : True les inclut, tandis que False les exclut. |
| `reranking_candidates` |  | integer | no | `1` | 1 – 7 | Nombre de candidats utilisé uniquement avec un prompt textuel : ce nombre de candidats est généré puis classé. La séparation fondée uniquement sur l'intervalle ignore ce paramètre. |
| `acceleration` |  | enum (string) | no | `balanced` | `fast`, `balanced`, `quality` | Niveau d’accélération appliqué au traitement. |
| `max_chunk_duration` |  | number | no | `60` | 10 – 60 | Limite audio par passe, mesurée en secondes, au-delà de laquelle le traitement utilise des segments qui se chevauchent et sont fusionnés. |
| `chunk_overlap` |  | number | no | `5` | 0 – 30 | Durée du chevauchement entre les segments, mesurée en secondes, utilisée pour le fondu enchaîné. |
| `use_sound_activity_ranking` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Option de classement de l'activité sonore nécessitant reranking_candidates > 1, qui active le reclassement effectif pour la séparation fondée uniquement sur l'intervalle sans prompt textuel. Les candidats sont notés selon la proximité entre leurs régions détectées sans silence et les intervalles fournis. |
| `trim_to_span` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Choix de la longueur de sortie entre l'intervalle spécifié seul et l'audio complet. L'activation tronque la sortie à la plage temporelle de l'intervalle ; False conserve la longueur complète et isole le son cible pendant toute la durée. |
| `output_format` |  | enum (string) | no | `wav` | `wav`, `mp3` | Format de l’audio généré. |

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 '{
    "audio_url": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3",
    "spans": [
      {
        "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.
