# Sam Audio · Span Separate API

> Isolescha in tun d'in audio cun intervalls temporals inditgads da tai, cun in'indicaziun textuala facultativa

Empè da sa basar mo sin text, transmettas `spans` che inditgeschan cura ch'il tun da mira cumpara en `audio_url`. `prompt` è facultativ, ma gida a identifitgar il tip da tun. `trim_to_span` po tagliar la sortida al sectur da l'intervall, e `use_sound_activity_ranking` permetta ina reclassificaziun senza prompt. Restituescha audio `target` e `residual` en wav u 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/rm/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 da la datoteca audio per l'elavuraziun. |
| `prompt` |  | string \| null | no |  |  | Agid per identifitgar il tun per extrair audio dal segment. Ina descripziun textuala dal tun d'isolaziun è recumandada, ma betg obligatorica. |
| `spans` |  | array of object {start, end, include} | yes |  |  | Intervals temporals che cuntegnan il tun tschertgà d'isolaziun. |
| `spans[].start` |  | number | yes |  | ≥ 0 | Timestamp d'inizi dal segment, mesirà en secundas. |
| `spans[].end` |  | number | yes |  | ≥ 0 | Timestamp da fin dal segment, mesirà en secundas. |
| `spans[].include` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Inclusiun da tuns entaifer il segment: True als includa, entant che False als excluda. |
| `reranking_candidates` |  | integer | no | `1` | 1 – 7 | Dumber da candidats utilisà mo cun in prompt da text: vegnan generads e rangads tants candidats. La separaziun mo per segment ignorescha questa configuraziun. |
| `acceleration` |  | enum (string) | no | `balanced` | `fast`, `balanced`, `quality` | Nivel d'acceleraziun applitgà a l'elavuraziun. |
| `max_chunk_duration` |  | number | no | `60` | 10 – 60 | Limita audio per pass, mesirada en secundas; sur questa vegnan utilisads tocs surpostads che vegnan maschadads ensemen. |
| `chunk_overlap` |  | number | no | `5` | 0 – 30 | Lunghezza da la surposiziun tranter ils tocs, mesirada en secundas, utilisada per la mascha da crossfade. |
| `use_sound_activity_ranking` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Opziun per rangar l'activitad sonora che pretenda reranking_candidates > 1 e permetta ina rerangaziun effectiva per la separaziun mo per segment senza prompt da text. Ils candidats vegnan valitads tenor quant bain lur regiuns detectadas senza tun s'accordan cun ils segments furnids. |
| `trim_to_span` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Selecziun da la lunghezza d'output tranter il segment specifitgà sulet e l'audio cumplet. L'activaziun scursa a l'interval temporal dal segment; False mantegna la lunghezza cumpletta e isoleschia il tun tschertgà durant tut il temp. |
| `output_format` |  | enum (string) | no | `wav` | `wav`, `mp3` | Format per l'audio generà. |

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,
      "start": 6
    }
  ]
}
```

## 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 '{
    "audio_url": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3",
    "spans": [
      {
        "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"
```

### JavaScript

```javascript

### 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.
