# Demucs API

> Deler et musikkspor i separate stems som vokal, trommer, bass, gitar og piano, med valgbare varianter

Deler en sang i separate instrumentspor. Velg en Demucs-variant med `model` (standard er htdemucs_6s, som også gir gitar og piano), begrens utdataene med `stems`, og finjuster kvaliteten med `shifts` (1 til 10), `overlap` (0 til 1) og `segment_length`. Stems returneres som mp3- eller wav-filer, én per kilde.

- 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/no/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 |  |  | URL som peker til lydfilen for separasjon av spor. |
| `model` |  | enum (string) | no | `htdemucs_6s` | `htdemucs`, `htdemucs_ft`, `htdemucs_6s`, `hdemucs_mmi`, `mdx`, `mdx_extra`, `mdx_q`, `mdx_extra_q` | Demucs-modell valgt for sporseparasjon. |
| `stems` |  | array of enum (string) \| null | no | `["vocals","drums","bass","other","guitar","piano"]` |  | Sporvalg fra modellens tilgjengelige alternativer: vocals, drums, bass, other, guitar, piano (for 6s-modellen). Sett til None for å trekke ut alle spor modellen tilbyr, i stedet for et bestemt utvalg. |
| `segment_length` |  | integer \| null | no |  | ≥ 1 | Varighet for behandlingssegmentet i sekunder, med en modellspesifikk standardverdi. En reduksjon senker minnebruken, men kan gå ut over kvaliteten; minimum er 1. |
| `shifts` |  | integer | no | `1` | 1 – 10 | Antall tilfeldige forskyvninger for ekvivariant stabilisering; høyere antall gir bedre kvalitet på bekostning av ekstra behandlingstid. |
| `overlap` |  | number | no | `0.25` | 0 – 1 | Segmentoverlapping gir lengre behandlingstid, men potensielt bedre kvalitet når den økes; det støttede området er 0.0–1.0. |
| `output_format` |  | enum (string) | no | `mp3` | `wav`, `mp3` | Lydformat brukt til å lagre de separerte sporene. |

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.
