Python quick start

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

python

import os, requests

# 1) start a generation
r = requests.post(
    "https://api.musicapi.ai/api/v1/sonic/create",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['MUSICAPI_KEY']}"},
    json={
        "custom_mode": False,
        "mv": "sonic-v5",
        "gpt_description_prompt": "warm acoustic podcast intro, light and welcoming, no vocals",
    },
)
task_id = r.json()["task_id"]

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

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

Why teams use it for podcast

A podcast needs a consistent sonic identity: the same intro sting, an outro, and beds under segments and ad reads. Commissioning music is slow and does not scale across a network of shows or a weekly cadence. Reusing one generic stock loop makes every show sound the same.

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

FAQ

How do I generate podcast music from Python?

POST a prompt to https://api.musicapi.ai/api/v1/sonic/create from Python 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 Python setup?
