Node.js quick start

Set MUSICAPI_KEY, paste this, and run it. It is a real request against the live API, prompted for video music.

ts
// 1) start a generation
const res = await fetch("https://api.musicapi.ai/api/v1/sonic/create", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.MUSICAPI_KEY}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    custom_mode: false,
    mv: "sonic-v5",
    gpt_description_prompt: "uplifting cinematic build for a product highlight reel",
  }),
})
const { task_id } = await res.json()

// 2) poll GET /api/v1/sonic/task/{task_id} until data[0].audio_url is set

Full Node.js setup (SDK, polling helper, error handling) is on the Node.js music API guide.

Why teams use it for video

In a video tool, the music step is where users stall. Browsing a stock library breaks the editing flow, and the clip they pick rarely matches the cut. You need a way for the editor to request a track that fits the mood and length of the timeline, on demand.

More on this use case, including output and licensing details, on the Video Editing Music API page.

FAQ

How do I generate video music from Node.js?

POST a prompt to https://api.musicapi.ai/api/v1/sonic/create from Node.js with your API key, then poll the returned task_id at /api/v1/sonic/task/{task_id} until the audio URL is ready. The snippet above is a complete starting point.

What does it cost?

Each music generation is 15 credits (2 songs). New accounts get free signup credits with no card, then it is pay-as-you-go. See the per-operation table at musicapi.ai/pricing#credit-costs.

Where is the full Node.js setup?

This page is the video-focused quick start. The complete Node.js integration (install, polling helper, error handling) is at musicapi.ai/nodejs-music-api.
