# ACE Step Audio Inpaint API

> Genskaber et valgt tidsinterval i en eksisterende lydfil med nye tags og tekster

Tager en `audio_url` og omskriver kun sektionen mellem `start_time` og `end_time`, hver målt i sekunder fra 0 til 240. Hvert tidspunkt kan angives relativt til klippets start eller slutning. Nye `tags` og `lyrics` styrer den erstattede del, og `variance` bestemmer, hvor varieret resultatet er. De sædvanlige indstillinger for guidance og trin er tilgængelige.

- Price per second of your input audio: $0.0002 / second of input audio (cheapest run $0.001 (1 API credit))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.ru/v1/run/ace-step/audio-inpaint`

## Pricing

Price: **$0.0002 / second of input audio**. Price per second of your input audio: the input files are measured before the run (length, resolution, frame rate). The quote measures the same files and is exactly what the run charges.

The full example input below costs $0.002 = 2 API credits (10 s input audio × $0.0002).

Prices are the upstream price in USD, paid from the API balance in API credits (1000 API credits = 1 USD). `POST https://api.doitong.ru/v1/quote/ace-step/audio-inpaint` with the same JSON body returns the exact price for that input; the quote is exactly what a run charges. Invalid input is never charged and failed or canceled requests are refunded automatically.

## Input parameters

Send either the canonical name or the native field name (not both). Canonical names are the same across models.

| Parameter | Canonical name | Type | Required | Default | Allowed values / range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `audio_url` | `audio` | string (audio URL) | yes |  |  | URL til lydfil til inpainting. |
| `start_time_relative_to` |  | enum (string) | no | `start` | `start`, `end` | Referencepunkt for starttidspunktet: enten lydens start eller slutning. |
| `start_time` |  | number | no | `0` | 0 – 240 | Starttidspunkt for inpainting, målt i sekund. |
| `end_time_relative_to` |  | enum (string) | no | `start` | `start`, `end` | Referencepunkt for sluttidspunktet: enten lydens start eller slutning. |
| `end_time` |  | number | no | `30` | 0 – 240 | Sluttidspunkt for inpainting, målt i sekund. |
| `tags` |  | string | yes |  |  | Lydstil-tags angivet som kommaseparerede genrer, med `prompt` som alternativ måde at angive dem på. |
| `lyrics` |  | string | no | `` |  | Sungne sangtekster, hvor sangsektioner organiseres med kontroller som [verse], [chorus] og [bridge]. For lyd uden sungne sangtekster skal dette input udelades eller kun indeholde [inst] eller [instrumental]. |
| `variance` |  | number | no | `0.5` | 0 – 1 | Inpainting-varians styrer, hvor forskellige resultaterne kan være; en forøgelse kan skabe større variation. |
| `number_of_steps` |  | integer | no | `27` | 3 – 60 | Antal trin brugt under lydgenerering. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Seed til reproducerbar generering, valgt tilfældigt, medmindre du angiver en værdi. |
| `scheduler` |  | enum (string) | no | `euler` | `euler`, `heun` | Scheduler brugt under generering. |
| `guidance_type` |  | enum (string) | no | `apg` | `cfg`, `apg`, `cfg_star` | CFG-type brugt under generering. |
| `granularity_scale` |  | integer | no | `10` | -100 – 100 | Granularitetsskala anvendt under generering. En forøgelse kan reducere artefakter. |
| `guidance_interval` |  | number | no | `0.5` | 0 – 1 | Den del af genereringsplanen, der modtager vejledning: valg af 0.5 begrænser den til trin fra 0.25 * infer_steps til 0.75 * infer_steps, så begyndelsen og slutningen ikke modtager vejledning. |
| `guidance_interval_decay` |  | number | no | `0` | 0 – 1 | Vejledningshenfald inden for genereringsintervallet: 0.0 holder henfald deaktiveret; ellers falder skalaen i intervallet fra guidance_scale til min_guidance_scale. |
| `guidance_scale` |  | number | no | `15` | 0 – 200 | Skala for vejledning anvendt under generering. |
| `minimum_guidance_scale` |  | number | no | `3` | 0 – 200 | Laveste vejledningsskala efter henfald under generering. |
| `tag_guidance_scale` |  | number | no | `5` | 0 – 10 | Skala for tagvejledning anvendt under generering. |
| `lyric_guidance_scale` |  | number | no | `1.5` | 0 – 10 | Skala for sangtekstvejledning anvendt under generering. |

File parameters (`audio`) take a public `https://` URL, a `data:` URI up to 10 MB, or the `file_url` of an upload from `POST /files`.

## Example input

Required parameters only:

```json
{
  "tags": "lofi, hiphop, drum and bass, trap, chill",
  "audio": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3"
}
```

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "tags": "lofi, hiphop, drum and bass, trap, chill",
  "audio_url": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3"
}
```

## Run it

Set `DOITONG_API_KEY` to a key from https://doitong.com/developers/dashboard#keys. `?wait=20` returns the finished request in the same call when it is ready within 20 seconds; otherwise poll `GET /requests/{id}` (it also accepts `?wait=`), or pass `webhook_url`.

### curl

```bash
# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
curl -X POST "https://api.doitong.ru/v1/run/ace-step/audio-inpaint?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "tags": "lofi, hiphop, drum and bass, trap, chill",
    "audio_url": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3"
  }'

# Still "queued" or "running"? Poll with the id from the response:
curl "https://api.doitong.ru/v1/requests/REQUEST_ID?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY"
```

### JavaScript

```javascript
const API = "https://api.doitong.ru/v1";
const headers = {
  "Authorization": "Bearer " + process.env.DOITONG_API_KEY,
  "Content-Type": "application/json",
};

// Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
let res = await fetch(API + "/run/ace-step/audio-inpaint?wait=20", {

  }),
});
let request = await res.json();
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(request.error.code + ": " + request.error.message);

// Not finished yet: long-poll until it is
while (request.status === "queued" || request.status === "running") {
  res = await fetch(API + "/requests/" + request.id + "?wait=20", { headers });
  request = await res.json();
}
if (request.status !== "succeeded") throw new Error(JSON.stringify(request.error));
console.log(request.outputs.map((o) => o.url), request.cost.credits + " API credits ($" + request.cost.usd + ")");
```

### Python

```python
import os
import requests

API = "https://api.doitong.ru/v1"
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + os.environ["DOITONG_API_KEY"]}

payload = {
    "tags": "lofi, hiphop, drum and bass, trap, chill",
    "audio_url": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3",
}

# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
r = requests.post(API + "/run/ace-step/audio-inpaint", params={"wait": 20}, json=payload, headers=headers)
request = r.json()
if not r.ok:
    raise RuntimeError(request["error"]["code"] + ": " + request["error"]["message"])

# Not finished yet: long-poll until it is
while request["status"] in ("queued", "running"):
    request = requests.get(API + "/requests/" + request["id"], params={"wait": 20}, headers=headers).json()
if request["status"] != "succeeded":
    raise RuntimeError(request["error"])
print([o["url"] for o in request["outputs"]], request["cost"]["credits"], "API credits", "$" + request["cost"]["usd"])
```

### MCP

The MCP server at `https://api.doitong.ru/v1/mcp` exposes the tools `search_models`, `get_model`, `quote`, `run`, `get_request`, `cancel_request`, `list_requests`, `create_upload` and `get_account`. A `run` call for this model:

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "run",
    "arguments": {
      "model_id": "ace-step/audio-inpaint",
      "input": {
        "tags": "lofi, hiphop, drum and bass, trap, chill",
        "audio_url": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3"
      },
      "wait_seconds": 20
    }
  }
}
```

## Response

Every call returns a request object. `status` is one of `queued`, `running`, `succeeded`, `failed`, `canceled`. `outputs` lists the generated files with URLs on our storage (kept forever, or 7 days with `?storage=temporary`; `storage` says which); `output` is the model's own result object with the same URLs.
