An advanced audio generation model designed to create high-quality audio tracks from textual prompts.

## Setup your API Key

If you don’t have an API key for the AI/ML API yet, feel free to use our [Quickstart guide](https://docs.aimlapi.com/quickstart/setting-up).

### Retrieve the generated music sample from the server <a href="#retrieve-the-generated-video-from-the-server" id="retrieve-the-generated-video-from-the-server"></a>

After sending a request for music generation, this task is added to the queue. This endpoint lets you check the status of a audio generation task using its `id`, obtained from the endpoint described above.\
If the video generation task status is `complete`, the response will include the final result — with the generated audio URL and additional metadata.

## Full Example: Generating and Retrieving the Audio From the Server <a href="#full-example-generating-and-retrieving-the-video-from-the-server" id="full-example-generating-and-retrieving-the-video-from-the-server"></a>

The code below creates a audio generation task, then automatically polls the server every **10** seconds until it finally receives the video URL.
