# Sam Audio · Span Separate API

> Jiżola ħoss mill-awdjo billi juża spans taż-żmien ipprovduti minnek, b'indikazzjoni testwali fakultattiva

Minflok jiddependi biss fuq it-test, tgħaddi `spans` li jimmarkaw meta jseħħ il-ħoss fil-mira f'`audio_url`. `prompt` huwa fakultattiv iżda jgħin jidentifika t-tip ta' ħoss. `trim_to_span` jista' jaqta' l-output għall-firxa tal-span, u `use_sound_activity_ranking` jippermetti ri-ranking mingħajr prompt. Jirritorna awdjo `target` u `residual` f'wav jew mp3.

- Model id: `sam-audio/span-separate`
- Made by: Meta
- Category: Audio
- Output: json
- Price per 30 seconds of your input audio: from $0.05 / 30 seconds of input audio (cheapest run $0.05 (50 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/sam-audio/span-separate`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/sam-audio/span-separate`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/mt/developers/models/sam-audio/span-separate

## Pricing

Price: **from $0.05 / 30 seconds of input audio** (the lowest tier; the quote prices your exact input). Price per 30 seconds 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 $0.05 = 50 API credits (1 × 30 s input audio × $0.05).

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/sam-audio/span-separate` 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 tal-fajl awdjo għall-ipproċessar. |
| `prompt` |  | string \| null | no |  |  | Għajnuna għall-identifikazzjoni tal-ħoss biex jiġi estratt awdjo mill-medda. Hija rakkomandata, iżda mhux obbligatorja, deskrizzjoni testwali tal-ħoss li għandu jiġi iżolat. |
| `spans` |  | array of object {start, end, include} | yes |  |  | Intervalli tal-ħin li fihom jinsab il-ħoss immirat li għandu jiġi iżolat. |
| `spans[].start` |  | number | yes |  | ≥ 0 | Timestamp tal-bidu tal-medda, imkejjel f'sekondi. |
| `spans[].end` |  | number | yes |  | ≥ 0 | Timestamp tat-tmiem tal-medda, imkejjel f'sekondi. |
| `spans[].include` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Inklużjoni tal-ħsejjes fil-medda: True tinkludihom, filwaqt li False teskludihom. |
| `reranking_candidates` |  | integer | no | `1` | 1 – 7 | Għadd ta' kandidati użat biss bi prompt tat-test: jiġu ġġenerati u kklassifikati dak in-numru ta' kandidati. Is-separazzjoni tal-medda biss tinjora dan l-issettjar. |
| `acceleration` |  | enum (string) | no | `balanced` | `fast`, `balanced`, `quality` | Livell ta’ aċċelerazzjoni applikat għall-ipproċessar. |
| `max_chunk_duration` |  | number | no | `60` | 10 – 60 | Limitu tal-awdjo għal kull pass, imkejjel f'sekondi, li lil hinn minnu l-ipproċessar juża biċċiet li jikkoinċidu u jitħalltu flimkien. |
| `chunk_overlap` |  | number | no | `5` | 0 – 30 | Tul tal-koinċidenza bejn il-biċċiet, imkejjel f'sekondi, użat għat-taħlit crossfade. |
| `use_sound_activity_ranking` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Għażla ta' klassifikazzjoni tal-attività tal-ħoss li teħtieġ reranking_candidates > 1, u tippermetti klassifikazzjoni effettiva mill-ġdid għas-separazzjoni tal-medda biss mingħajr prompt tat-test. Il-kandidati jiġu skurjati skont kemm iż-żoni tagħhom mingħajr silenzju jaqblu mill-qrib mal-meded ipprovduti. |
| `trim_to_span` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Għażla tat-tul tal-output bejn il-medda speċifikata biss u l-awdjo sħiħ. Meta tkun attivata, tnaqqas it-tul għall-medda tal-ħin; False iżomm it-tul sħiħ u jiżola l-ħoss immirat tul kollu. |
| `output_format` |  | enum (string) | no | `wav` | `wav`, `mp3` | Format għall-awdjo ġġenerat. |

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",
  "spans": [
    {
      "end": 10,
      "include": true,
      "start": 6
    }
  ]
}
```

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "audio_url": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3",
  "spans": [
    {
      "end": 10,
      "include": true,

    }
  ]
}
```

## 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/sam-audio/span-separate?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{

        "end": 10,
        "include": true,
        "start": 6
      }
    ]
  }'

# 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"

### 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": "sam-audio/span-separate",
      "input": {
        "audio_url": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3",
        "spans": [
          {
            "end": 10,
            "include": true,
            "start": 6
          }
        ]
      },
      "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.
