# Stable Audio 3 · Medium · Text to Audio API

> Gedistilleerde text-to-audio van Medium met snelle standaard van 8 stappen, clips tot 380 seconden

Maakt audio uit een tekstuele `prompt`, optioneel met een `negative_prompt`. Deze post-trained variant gebruikt standaard 8 samplingstappen en profiteert weinig van meer stappen; de guidance scale is standaard 1 omdat die alleen effect heeft op basischeckpoints. `duration` loopt van 1 tot 380 seconden. Kies als uitvoer mp3, wav, flac, ogg, opus, m4a of aac.

## Pricing

Price: **$0.0376 / request**. Billed once per request.

The full example input below costs $0.038 = 38 API credits (1 request × 37.6 API credits).

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/stable-audio-3/medium/text-to-audio` 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

| Parameter | Canonical name | Type | Required | Default | Allowed values / range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `negative_prompt` |  | string | no | `` |  | Tekst die ongewenste eigenschappen in de uitvoer specificeert. |
| `duration` |  | number | no | `30` | 1 – 380 | Audiolengte in seconden, met voor het medium-model een maximum van 380 seconden (ongeveer 6 minuten 20 seconden). |
| `num_inference_steps` |  | integer | no | `8` | 1 – 100 | Aantal sampling-iteraties, standaard 8 omdat gedistilleerde, natrainings-checkpoints daar al goede kwaliteit bereiken; extra iteraties bieden weinig voordeel. |
| `guidance_scale` |  | number | no | `1` | 0 – 25 | Classifier-free guidance-sterkte, alleen voor basis-checkpoints; gedistilleerde checkpoints worden niet beïnvloed. Bij toepasselijke checkpoints zorgt verhoging voor een nauwkeurigere naleving van de prompt. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Seed van de willekeurige generator voor reproduceerbare resultaten; weglaten selecteert een willekeurige seed. |
| `enable_prompt_expansion` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Promptuitbreiding met een LLM wanneer ingeschakeld, die details toevoegt en de resultaatkwaliteit verbetert. |
| `enable_safety_checker` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Veiligheidscontrole op NSFW-inhoud. |
| `output_format` |  | enum (string) | no | `mp3` | `mp3`, `wav`, `flac`, `ogg`, `opus`, `m4a`, `aac` | Containerformaat voor de resulterende audio. |
| `bitrate` |  | string | no | `192k` |  | Bitrate van de uitvoeraudio, genegeerd bij wav of flac omdat deze verliesvrij zijn. Geef voor gecomprimeerde formaten zoals mp3, aac of opus een waarde op in de vorm '192k' of '320k'. |
| `prompt` |  | string | yes |  |  | Tekst die de gewenste audio-inhoud specificeert. |

## Example input

Required parameters only:

```json
{
  "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
}
```

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
}
```

## 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/stable-audio-3/medium/text-to-audio?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
  }'

# 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/stable-audio-3/medium/text-to-audio?wait=20", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
  }),
});
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 = {
    "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field",
}

# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
r = requests.post(API + "/run/stable-audio-3/medium/text-to-audio", 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": "stable-audio-3/medium/text-to-audio",
      "input": {
        "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
      },
      "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.
