Use case
Royalty Free Music API
Product and content teams who need original music they can use commercially without recurring license fees or attribution.
The problem
Stock music libraries charge per track, per seat, or per stream, and the license terms change. Tracking which clip is cleared for which project becomes its own job. You need original music you fully own, generated at the moment you need it, without a licensing department.
Why MusicAPI fits this
Every generated track comes with full commercial rights. You own the output and can ship it in paid products.
Music is generated fresh per request, so it is original rather than a shared library cut many others also use.
No per-stream or per-seat fees. You pay credits for generation, then use the result without recurring license costs.
Code sample
A real request against the live API: start a job, then poll the task endpoint until the audio is ready.
# Generate an original royalty-free track on demand
# 1. Start a generation job
curl -X POST https://api.musicapi.ai/api/v1/sonic/create \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $MUSICAPI_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"custom_mode": true,
"mv": "sonic-v5",
"prompt": "An optimistic, modern instrumental for a product launch video",
"tags": "corporate, uplifting, clean",
"title": "Launch Day",
"make_instrumental": true
}'
# Response: { "message": "success", "task_id": "a1b2c3d4-..." }
# 2. Poll until the audio is ready (state: "succeeded")
curl https://api.musicapi.ai/api/v1/sonic/task/a1b2c3d4-... \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $MUSICAPI_KEY"
# Response data[].audio_url is a ready-to-stream MP3 once state is "succeeded".Pricing

FAQ
Do I owe royalties or attribution on generated tracks?
No. Generations come with full commercial rights. You own the output and do not owe per-stream royalties or attribution to use it in commercial work.
Is the music unique to me?
Each request generates new audio rather than returning a slot from a shared catalog, so you are not shipping the same library track that thousands of other products also use.
Can I use it across many client projects?
Yes. Because you own each generation outright, the same account can produce cleared music for multiple projects or clients. Check the pricing page for volume options.
