Headers

xi-api-keystring nullable

Your API key. This is required by most endpoints to access our API programmatically. You can view your xi-api-key using the 'Profile' tab on the website.

Request body

promptstring nullable

A simple text prompt to generate a song from. Cannot be used in conjunction with composition_plan.

generation_mode'track' | 'loop' | 'ambience' | 'video_to_music' nullable

Optional generation mode hint for prompt-based music generation. Can only be used with prompt.

lyrics_textstring nullable

The lyrics text to use for the generation.

music_length_msinteger nullable

The length of the song to generate in milliseconds. Used only in conjunction with prompt. Must be between 3000ms and 600000ms. Optional - if not provided, the model will choose a length based on the prompt.

model_id'music_v1' | 'music_v2' | 'music_v2_5'

seedinteger nullable

Random seed to initialize the music generation process. Providing the same seed with the same parameters can help achieve more consistent results, but exact reproducibility is not guaranteed and outputs may change across system updates. Cannot be used in conjunction with prompt.

force_instrumentalboolean

If true, guarantees that the generated song will be instrumental. If false, the song may or may not be instrumental depending on the prompt. Can only be used with prompt.

finetune_idstring nullable

The ID of the finetune to use for the generation

finetune_strengthnumber

How strongly the finetune influences the generation. Defaults to 1.0 (full strength). Lower values soften the influence of the finetune, leaving more room for prompt-level steering. Only meaningful when finetune_id is also provided.

use_phonetic_namesboolean

If true, proper names in the prompt will be phonetically spelled in the lyrics for better pronunciation by the music model. The original names will be restored in word timestamps.

store_for_inpaintingboolean

Whether to store the generated song for inpainting.
