Seed Audio 1.0

Seed Audio 1.0 is a ByteDance speech generation model built for high-quality, highly controllable audio output. Public technical materials describe the underlying Seed-TTS family as supporting zero-shot text-to-speech, cross-lingual speech generation, emotion control, speaker adaptation, voice conversion, speech editing, and speed editing, making it well suited to narration, dubbing, character voice work, and other expressive speech workflows.

API Options
Platform-level options for task execution and delivery.
taskType
stringrequiredvalue: audioInferenceIdentifier for the type of task being performed
taskUUID
stringrequiredUUID v4UUID v4 identifier for tracking tasks and matching async responses. Must be unique per task.
outputType
stringdefault: URLAudio output type.
Allowed values3 values
outputFormat
stringdefault: MP3Specifies the file format of the generated output. The available values depend on the task type and the specific model's capabilities.
- `MP3`: Compressed audio, smaller file size.
- `WAV`: Uncompressed, high-quality audio.
- `FLAC`: Lossless compression.
- `OGG`: Open-source compressed audio format (Vorbis codec).
Allowed values4 values
audioSettings
objectAudio encoding settings for controlling the bitrate, number of channels, and sample rate of the generated audio. Only applicable for lossy output formats (
MP3andOGG). When using lossless formats (WAVorFLAC), this parameter must not be provided.The available sample rates and valid bitrate ranges depend on the output format. For
OGG, bitrate limits also vary by the number of channels.MP3 bitrate limits
Bitrate limits for MP3 are the same regardless of mono or stereo.

webhookURL
stringURISpecifies a webhook URL where JSON responses will be sent via HTTP POST when generation tasks complete. For batch requests with multiple results, each completed item triggers a separate webhook call as it becomes available.

uploadEndpoint
stringURISpecifies a URL where the generated content will be automatically uploaded using the HTTP PUT method. The raw binary data of the media file is sent directly as the request body. For secure uploads to cloud storage, use presigned URLs that include temporary authentication credentials.
Common use cases:
- Cloud storage: Upload directly to S3 buckets, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob Storage using presigned URLs.
- CDN integration: Upload to content delivery networks for immediate distribution.
// S3 presigned URL for secure upload https://your-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/generated/content.mp4?X-Amz-Signature=abc123&X-Amz-Expires=3600 // Google Cloud Storage presigned URL https://storage.googleapis.com/your-bucket/content.jpg?X-Goog-Signature=xyz789 // Custom storage endpoint https://storage.example.com/uploads/generated-image.jpgThe content data will be sent as the request body to the specified URL when generation is complete.
ttl
integermin: 60Time-to-live (TTL) in seconds for generated content. Only applies when
outputTypeisURL.
includeCost
booleandefault: falseInclude task cost in the response.
numberResults
integermin: 1max: 4default: 1Number of results to generate. Each result uses a different seed, producing variations of the same parameters.
Inputs
Input resources for the task (images, audio, etc). These must be nested inside the inputs object.
inputs object.inputs»referenceImagesreferenceImages
array of stringsitems: 1List of reference images (UUID, URL, Data URI, or Base64). A single character image whose appearance conditions the generated voice.
inputs»referenceAudiosreferenceAudios
array of stringsmin items: 1max items: 3List of reference audios (UUID, URL). Reference clips that condition the generated voice and emotion.
Core Parameters
Primary parameters that define the task output.
model
stringrequiredvalue: bytedance:seed-audio@1.0Identifier of the model to use for generation.
