Headers

Parameter	Type	Description
`Authorization`required	string	Bearer token with your secret key: Bearer sk_live_...
`Idempotency-Key`optional	string	Optional unique key. Replaying the same key returns the same job instead of creating a new one.

Body

Parameter	Type	Description
`prompt`required	string	What the musical should be about. Max 2,000 characters.
`include_image`optional	boolean	When true, also generate a cover image (+1 credit). When false, audio only: faster and cheaper. Defaults to `false`.
`style`optional	string	Optional art style for the cover image (only used when include_image is true). Truncated to 60 characters.

Responses

Response by status

{
  "job_id": "1936f2b0a1c-7e1c2a3b-…",
  "status": "queued"
}

An idempotent replay returns the same job and may report its current status (processing / succeeded / failed) instead of queued. See the overview for the full error-code table and rate-limit headers.

Asynchronous by design

A 202 means the job is accepted, not finished. The audio arrives via GET /api/v1/jobs/{job_id} once status is succeeded.
