# ACE Step Audio Outpaint API

> Pratęsia esamą garso klipą prieš jo pradžią arba po pabaigos naujai sukurta muzika

Tęsia per `audio_url` pateiktą takelį. `extend_before_duration` ir `extend_after_duration` pradžioje arba pabaigoje gali pridėti iki 107 sekundžių, o numatyta reikšmė yra 30 sekundžių po pabaigos. Stilių nurodo `tags`, o pridėtoms dalims pasirinktinai galima pateikti `lyrics`. Žingsnių skaičiaus, planuoklio ir nurodymų nustatymai sutampa su kitais ACE Step modeliais.

- Category: Text to Music
- Output: audio
- Price per second of your output audio: $0.0002 / second of output audio (cheapest run $0.001 (1 API credit))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/ace-step/audio-outpaint`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/ace-step/audio-outpaint`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/lt/developers/models/ace-step/audio-outpaint

## Pricing

Price: **$0.0002 / second of output audio**. Price per second of your output 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 $0.006 = 6 API credits (30 s output 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-outpaint` 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 |  |  | Garso failo URL, skirtas outpainting. |
| `extend_before_duration` |  | number | no | `0` | 0 – 107 | Plėtinio prieš garso pradžią trukmė sekundėmis. |
| `extend_after_duration` |  | number | no | `30` | 0 – 107 | Plėtinio po garso pabaigos trukmė sekundėmis. |
| `tags` |  | string | yes |  |  | Garso stiliaus žymos, pateiktos kableliais atskirtais žanrais; kaip alternatyvą joms pateikti galima naudoti `prompt`. |
| `lyrics` |  | string | no | `` |  | Dainuojami žodžiai, kurių dainos dalys suskirstytos naudojant valdiklius, pvz., [verse], [chorus] ir [bridge]. Jei garsas be dainuojamų žodžių, šią įvestį praleiskite arba pateikite tik [inst] ar [instrumental]. |
| `number_of_steps` |  | integer | no | `27` | 3 – 60 | Atliekant garso generavimą naudojamas žingsnių skaičius. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Atkuriamam generavimui naudojama pradinė reikšmė; jei reikšmės nepateikiate, ji parenkama atsitiktinai. |
| `scheduler` |  | enum (string) | no | `euler` | `euler`, `heun` | Generuojant naudojamas planuoklis. |
| `guidance_type` |  | enum (string) | no | `apg` | `cfg`, `apg`, `cfg_star` | Generuojant naudojamas CFG tipas. |
| `granularity_scale` |  | integer | no | `10` | -100 – 100 | Generuojant taikoma detalumo skalė. Ją padidinus gali sumažėti artefaktų. |
| `guidance_interval` |  | number | no | `0.5` | 0 – 1 | Generavimo tvarkaraščio dalis, kuriai taikomas valdymas: pasirinkus 0.5, jis apribojamas žingsniais nuo 0.25 * infer_steps iki 0.75 * infer_steps, o pradžia ir pabaiga lieka be valdymo. |
| `guidance_interval_decay` |  | number | no | `0` | 0 – 1 | Valdymo mažėjimas generavimo intervale: 0.0 išjungia mažėjimą; kitu atveju skalė tame intervale mažėja nuo guidance_scale iki min_guidance_scale. |
| `guidance_scale` |  | number | no | `15` | 0 – 200 | Generuojant taikoma valdymo skalė. |
| `minimum_guidance_scale` |  | number | no | `3` | 0 – 200 | Mažiausia valdymo skalė, pasiekiama po mažėjimo generavimo metu. |
| `tag_guidance_scale` |  | number | no | `5` | 0 – 10 | Generuojant taikoma žymų valdymo skalė. |
| `lyric_guidance_scale` |  | number | no | `1.5` | 0 – 10 | Generuojant taikoma dainos žodžių valdymo skalė. |

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"

}
```

## 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-outpaint?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-outpaint?wait=20", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "tags": "lofi, hiphop, drum and bass, trap, chill",
    "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 = {
    "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-outpaint", 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-outpaint",
      "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.
