PHP quick start

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

php

<?php
$client = new GuzzleHttp\Client();

// 1) start a generation
$res = $client->post('https://api.musicapi.ai/api/v1/sonic/create', [
    'headers' => ['Authorization' => 'Bearer ' . getenv('MUSICAPI_KEY')],
    'json' => [
        'custom_mode' => false,
        'mv' => 'sonic-v5',
        'gpt_description_prompt' => 'energetic chiptune action loop for a platformer level',
    ],
]);
$taskId = json_decode($res->getBody(), true)['task_id'];

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

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

Why teams use it for game

A game world has many states: a calm village, a tense dungeon, a boss fight. Licensing or composing a unique track for each one is expensive, and procedural games can have more states than you can pre-author. Reusing the same loop everywhere flattens the experience.

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

FAQ

How do I generate game music from PHP?

POST a prompt to https://api.musicapi.ai/api/v1/sonic/create from PHP 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.
