# Demucs API

> Ka wehewehe i tētahi ara puoro ki ngā stem motuhake pērā i te reo, pahū, panguru, kita me te piano, me ngā momo ka taea te kōwhiri

Ka wehewehe i tētahi waiata ki ngā ara taputapu takitahi. Kōwhiria he momo Demucs mā `model` (ko te taunoa htdemucs_6s, ka whakaputa hoki i te kita me te piano), whakawhāitihia te putanga mā `stems`, ka whakatika i te kounga mā `shifts` (1 ki te 10), `overlap` (0 ki te 1) me `segment_length`. Ka whakahokia ngā stem hei kōnae mp3, wav rānei, kotahi mō ia pūtake.

- 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/mi/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 |  |  | Te URL e tohu ana ki te kōnae ororongo mō te wehewehe pūtake. |
| `model` |  | enum (string) | no | `htdemucs_6s` | `htdemucs`, `htdemucs_ft`, `htdemucs_6s`, `hdemucs_mmi`, `mdx`, `mdx_extra`, `mdx_q`, `mdx_extra_q` | Te tauira Demucs kua tīpakohia mō te wehewehe pūtake. |
| `stems` |  | array of enum (string) \| null | no | `["vocals","drums","bass","other","guitar","piano"]` |  | Te pūtake kua tīpakohia mai i ngā kōwhiringa a te tauira: vocals, drums, bass, other, guitar, piano (mō te tauira 6s). Whakatakotoria ki None hei tango i ngā pūtake katoa e tukuna ana e te tauira, kaua ko tētahi pūtake motuhake. |
| `segment_length` |  | integer \| null | no |  | ≥ 1 | Te roanga o te wāhanga tukatuka i roto i ngā hēkona, me te taunoa motuhake mō te tauira. Mā te whakaiti ka iti ake te whakamahinga mahara, engari ka heke pea te kounga; ko te iti rawa ko 1. |
| `shifts` |  | integer | no | `1` | 1 – 10 | Te tatau random-shift o te whakapūmau Equivariant, e whakawhiti ana i te wā tukatuka tāpiri mō te kounga pai ake i te piki haere o te tatau. |
| `overlap` |  | number | no | `0.25` | 0 – 1 | Ko te overlap o te wāhanga ka whakawhiti i te wā tukatuka roa ake mō te kounga pai ake pea i te piki haere; ko te awhe tautokona 0.0–1.0. |
| `output_format` |  | enum (string) | no | `mp3` | `wav`, `mp3` | Te hōputu ororongo hei tiaki i ngā pūtake kua wehea. |

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.
