# Stable Audio 3 · Medium · Text to Audio API

> Conversion texte-audio Medium distillée avec 8 étapes par défaut pour une exécution rapide, clips jusqu’à 380 secondes

Crée de l’audio à partir d’un `prompt` texte, éventuellement avec un `negative_prompt`. Cette variante post-entraînée utilise par défaut 8 étapes d’échantillonnage et bénéficie peu d’un nombre supérieur, tandis que l’échelle de guidage est par défaut de 1, car elle n’a d’effet que sur les points de contrôle de base. `duration` va de 1 à 380 secondes. Choisissez une sortie mp3, wav, flac, ogg, opus, m4a ou aac.

- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/stable-audio-3/medium/text-to-audio`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/stable-audio-3/medium/text-to-audio`

## Pricing

Price: **$0.0376 / request**. Billed once per request.

The full example input below costs $0.038 = 38 API credits (1 request × 37.6 API credits).

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/stable-audio-3/medium/text-to-audio` 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

| Parameter | Canonical name | Type | Required | Default | Allowed values / range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `negative_prompt` |  | string | no | `` |  | Texte spécifiant les qualités indésirables dans la sortie. |
| `duration` |  | number | no | `30` | 1 – 380 | Durée audio en secondes, avec un maximum de 380 secondes pour le modèle medium (environ 6 minutes 20 secondes). |
| `num_inference_steps` |  | integer | no | `8` | 1 – 100 | Nombre d’itérations d’échantillonnage, fixé par défaut à 8, car les points de contrôle distillés et post-entraînés offrent déjà une bonne qualité à cette valeur ; des itérations supplémentaires apportent peu de bénéfices. |
| `guidance_scale` |  | number | no | `1` | 0 – 25 | Force du guidage sans classifieur, uniquement pour les points de contrôle de base ; les points de contrôle distillés ne sont pas concernés. Pour les points de contrôle applicables, l’augmenter renforce l’adhésion au prompt. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Graine du générateur aléatoire pour obtenir des résultats reproductibles ; l’omettre sélectionne une graine aléatoire. |
| `enable_prompt_expansion` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Extension du prompt par un LLM lorsqu’elle est activée, ajoutant des détails et améliorant la qualité du résultat. |
| `enable_safety_checker` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Vérification de sécurité du contenu NSFW. |
| `output_format` |  | enum (string) | no | `mp3` | `mp3`, `wav`, `flac`, `ogg`, `opus`, `m4a`, `aac` | Format de conteneur utilisé pour l’audio obtenu. |
| `bitrate` |  | string | no | `192k` |  | Débit audio de sortie, ignoré avec wav ou flac car ces formats sont sans perte. Pour les formats compressés tels que mp3, aac ou opus, fournissez une valeur sous la forme '192k' ou '320k'. |
| `prompt` |  | string | yes |  |  | Texte spécifiant le contenu audio souhaité. |

## Example input

Required parameters only:

```json
{
  "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
}
```

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
}
```

## 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/stable-audio-3/medium/text-to-audio?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
  }'

# 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/stable-audio-3/medium/text-to-audio?wait=20", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
  }),
});
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 = {
    "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field",
}

# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
r = requests.post(API + "/run/stable-audio-3/medium/text-to-audio", 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": "stable-audio-3/medium/text-to-audio",
      "input": {
        "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
      },
      "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.
