Python quick start

Set MUSICAPI_KEY, paste this, and run it. It is a real request against the live API, prompted for social media 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": "punchy upbeat hook for a short-form vertical video",
    },
)
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 social media

Using popular tracks on social clips risks takedowns, muted audio, and demonetization. A small shared library means every clip sounds alike and recycled audio can still trip content-ID systems. Creators need original music that is theirs and is safe to post.

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