API Options
Platform-level options for task execution and delivery.
-
taskType
string required value: audioInference -
Identifier for the type of task being performed
-
taskUUID
string required UUID v4 -
UUID v4 identifier for tracking tasks and matching async responses. Must be unique per task.
-
outputType
string default: URL -
Audio output type.
Allowed values 3 values
-
outputFormat
string default: MP3 -
Specifies 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 values 4 values
-
webhookURL
string URI -
Specifies 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
string URI -
Specifies 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
integer min: 60 -
Time-to-live (TTL) in seconds for generated content. Only applies when
outputTypeisURL.
-
includeCost
boolean default: false -
Include task cost in the response.
