# ACE Step Audio Inpaint API

> 使用新標籤與歌詞重新生成現有音訊檔案指定的時間區段

接收 `audio_url`，僅重寫 `start_time` 與 `end_time` 之間的區段，兩者皆以秒為單位，範圍為 0 到 240。每個時間都可相對於片段開頭或結尾設定。新的 `tags` 與 `lyrics` 會引導替換部分，`variance` 控制結果的變化程度。也提供一般的引導與步數設定。

- 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/zh-TW/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 |  |  | 用於修補的音訊檔案 URL。 |
| `start_time_relative_to` |  | enum (string) | no | `start` | `start`, `end` | 開始時間的參考點：音訊的開頭或結尾。 |
| `start_time` |  | number | no | `0` | 0 – 240 | 修補開始時間，以秒計。 |
| `end_time_relative_to` |  | enum (string) | no | `start` | `start`, `end` | 結束時間的參考點：音訊的開頭或結尾。 |
| `end_time` |  | number | no | `30` | 0 – 240 | 修補結束時間，以秒計。 |
| `tags` |  | string | yes |  |  | 以逗號分隔的音訊風格標籤，提供類型；也可使用 `prompt` 作為替代方式提供這些標籤。 |
| `lyrics` |  | string | no | `` |  | 演唱歌詞，使用 [verse]、[chorus] 和 [bridge] 等控制項組織歌曲段落。對於沒有演唱歌詞的音訊，省略此輸入，或僅提供 [inst] 或 [instrumental]。 |
| `variance` |  | number | no | `0.5` | 0 – 1 | 修補變異度控制結果的多樣性；提高此值可能會引入更多變化。 |
| `number_of_steps` |  | integer | no | `27` | 3 – 60 | 音訊生成期間使用的步數。 |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | 用於可重現生成的種子；除非提供值，否則會隨機選擇。 |
| `scheduler` |  | enum (string) | no | `euler` | `euler`, `heun` | 生成期間使用的排程器。 |
| `guidance_type` |  | enum (string) | no | `apg` | `cfg`, `apg`, `cfg_star` | 生成期間使用的 CFG 類型。 |
| `granularity_scale` |  | integer | no | `10` | -100 – 100 | 生成期間套用的粒度尺度。提高此值可能會減少瑕疵。 |
| `guidance_interval` |  | number | no | `0.5` | 0 – 1 | 接收引導的生成排程區段：選擇 0.5 會將其限制在從 0.25 * infer_steps 到 0.75 * infer_steps 的步驟，開頭和結尾不套用引導。 |
| `guidance_interval_decay` |  | number | no | `0` | 0 – 1 | 生成區間內的引導衰減：0.0 會停用衰減；否則，尺度會在該區間內從 guidance_scale 降至 min_guidance_scale。 |
| `guidance_scale` |  | number | no | `15` | 0 – 200 | 生成期間套用的引導尺度。 |
| `minimum_guidance_scale` |  | number | no | `3` | 0 – 200 | 生成期間衰減後達到的最低引導尺度。 |
| `tag_guidance_scale` |  | number | no | `5` | 0 – 10 | 生成期間套用的標籤引導尺度。 |
| `lyric_guidance_scale` |  | number | no | `1.5` | 0 – 10 | 生成期間套用的歌詞引導尺度。 |

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", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "tags": "lofi, hiphop, drum and bass, trap, chill",
    "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 = {
    "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.
