# ACE Step Audio Inpaint API

> Menjana semula tetingkap masa yang dipilih daripada fail audio sedia ada menggunakan tag dan lirik baharu

Mengambil `audio_url` dan menulis semula hanya bahagian antara `start_time` dan `end_time`, setiap satunya diukur dalam saat dari 0 hingga 240. Setiap masa boleh ditetapkan relatif kepada permulaan atau penghujung klip. `tags` dan `lyrics` baharu mengarahkan bahagian yang diganti, manakala `variance` mengawal kepelbagaian hasil. Panduan biasa dan tetapan langkah tersedia.

- 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/ms/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.

| Parameter | Canonical name | Type | Required | Default | Allowed values / range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `audio_url` | `audio` | string (audio URL) | yes |  |  | URL fail audio untuk inpainting. |
| `start_time_relative_to` |  | enum (string) | no | `start` | `start`, `end` | Titik rujukan untuk masa mula: sama ada permulaan atau penghujung audio. |
| `start_time` |  | number | no | `0` | 0 – 240 | Masa mula inpainting, diukur dalam saat. |
| `end_time_relative_to` |  | enum (string) | no | `start` | `start`, `end` | Titik rujukan untuk masa akhir: sama ada permulaan atau penghujung audio. |
| `end_time` |  | number | no | `30` | 0 – 240 | Masa akhir inpainting, diukur dalam saat. |
| `tags` |  | string | yes |  |  | Tag gaya audio yang dibekalkan sebagai genre dipisahkan koma, dengan `prompt` tersedia sebagai cara alternatif untuk membekalkannya. |
| `lyrics` |  | string | no | `` |  | Lirik yang dinyanyikan, dengan bahagian lagu disusun menggunakan kawalan seperti [verse], [chorus] dan [bridge]. Untuk audio tanpa lirik nyanyian, abaikan input ini atau bekalkan hanya [inst] atau [instrumental]. |
| `variance` |  | number | no | `0.5` | 0 – 1 | Varians inpainting mengawal kepelbagaian hasil; meningkatkannya boleh menambah variasi. |
| `number_of_steps` |  | integer | no | `27` | 3 – 60 | Bilangan langkah yang digunakan semasa penjanaan audio. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Seed untuk penjanaan boleh ulang, dipilih secara rawak melainkan anda membekalkan nilai. |
| `scheduler` |  | enum (string) | no | `euler` | `euler`, `heun` | Penjadual yang digunakan semasa penjanaan. |
| `guidance_type` |  | enum (string) | no | `apg` | `cfg`, `apg`, `cfg_star` | Jenis CFG yang digunakan semasa penjanaan. |
| `granularity_scale` |  | integer | no | `10` | -100 – 100 | Skala kehalusan yang digunakan semasa penjanaan. Meningkatkannya boleh mengurangkan artifak. |
| `guidance_interval` |  | number | no | `0.5` | 0 – 1 | Bahagian jadual penjanaan yang menerima panduan: memilih 0.5 mengehadkannya kepada langkah daripada 0.25 * infer_steps hingga 0.75 * infer_steps, tanpa panduan pada awal dan akhir. |
| `guidance_interval_decay` |  | number | no | `0` | 0 – 1 | Pereputan panduan dalam selang penjanaan: 0.0 mengekalkan pereputan dilumpuhkan; selain itu, skala berkurang sepanjang selang tersebut daripada guidance_scale kepada min_guidance_scale. |
| `guidance_scale` |  | number | no | `15` | 0 – 200 | Skala panduan yang digunakan semasa penjanaan. |
| `minimum_guidance_scale` |  | number | no | `3` | 0 – 200 | Skala panduan terendah yang dicapai selepas pereputan semasa penjanaan. |
| `tag_guidance_scale` |  | number | no | `5` | 0 – 10 | Skala panduan tag yang digunakan semasa penjanaan. |
| `lyric_guidance_scale` |  | number | no | `1.5` | 0 – 10 | Skala panduan lirik yang digunakan semasa penjanaan. |

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", {

  }),
});
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.
