# ACE Step Audio Inpaint API

> Ath-ghineas uinneag ùine taghte de fhaidhle fuaime a tha ann mu thràth a’ cleachdadh tagaichean is faclan ùra

Gabhaidh e `audio_url` agus ath-sgrìobhaidh e dìreach an earrann eadar `start_time` agus `end_time`, gach fear air a thomhas ann an diogan bho 0 gu 240. Faodar gach ùine a shuidheachadh an coimeas ri toiseach no deireadh a’ chriomag. Bidh `tags` agus `lyrics` ùra a’ stiùireadh na pàirte a thèid a chur na h-àite, agus bidh `variance` a’ riaghladh cho eadar-dhealaichte ’s a bhios an toradh. Tha na roghainnean stiùiridh is cheumannan àbhaisteach rim faighinn.

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

## Pricing

Price: **$0.0002 / 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 $0.002 = 2 API credits (10 s input 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-inpaint` 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.

| `variance` |  | number | no | `0.5` | 0 – 1 | Tha caochlaideachd inpainting a’ cumail smachd air iomadachd nan toraidhean; faodaidh àrdachadh barrachd eadar-dhealachaidh a thoirt a-steach. |
| `number_of_steps` |  | integer | no | `27` | 3 – 60 | Àireamh nan ceumannan a thèid a chleachdadh rè gineadh na claisneachd. |

| `granularity_scale` |  | integer | no | `10` | -100 – 100 | Sgèile granularity a thèid a chur an sàs rè gineadh. Dh’fhaodadh àrdachadh air lùghdachadh a dhèanamh air nithean fuadain. |
| `guidance_interval` |  | number | no | `0.5` | 0 – 1 | A’ chuibhreann de chlàr-ama a’ ghineadh a gheibh stiùireadh: le bhith a’ taghadh 0.5, tha e air a chuingealachadh ri ceumannan bho 0.25 * infer_steps tro 0.75 * infer_steps, a’ fàgail an toiseach agus an deireadh gun stiùireadh. |
| `guidance_interval_decay` |  | number | no | `0` | 0 – 1 | Lùghdachadh stiùiridh taobh a-staigh na h-ùine gineadh: cumaidh 0.0 lùghdachadh à comas; air dhòigh eile, lùghdaichidh an sgèile thar na h-ùine sin bho guidance_scale gu min_guidance_scale. |

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-inpaint?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-inpaint?wait=20", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({

  }),
});
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-inpaint", 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-inpaint",
      "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.
