Audio

Convert text to speech using a named built-in preset voice, with optional emotion and language settings. Both text and voice_preset_id are required and the text is limited to 1000 characters; invalid input returns HTTP 400. Synchronous until September 10, 2026: the call blocks until generation finishes and returns a single audio result containing a URL; there is no separate polling step. Credits are charged on success. Use this when you want a ready-made catalog voice and do not need to supply your own sample; use createSpeech to clone a voice from an audio sample instead, and createVoice to design a new voice from a text description. Pass an optional request_id to tag the result so you can locate it later via `GET /assets/audio/results`. Requires an API key (user scope). Async is the intended integration pattern: pass `async: true` and the call returns 202 with a job id - poll `GET /assets/jobs/{id}` (`getApiJob` in MCP), honouring poll_after_ms or long-polling with wait=30, until status is succeeded, whose result field is exactly the response documented for this operation. Synchronous responses are deprecated: they remain the default until September 10, 2026, after which requests default to async and return 202 with a job id; set `async: false` explicitly to keep synchronous behavior during and after the transition. Synchronous calls run on the same queue: the response carries an X-Ludo-Job-Id header, and a job still running after 15 minutes comes back as 202 with the job instead of an error. Each account may have up to 50 generations queued or running at once via the API; a request beyond that returns 429 (code PENDING_JOBS_LIMIT).

Optional client-provided identifier, unique per request. Re-sending the same request_id returns the existing job instead of generating again. Also usable with the results endpoint.

asyncboolean

When true, return 202 immediately with a job id instead of waiting for the result. Poll GET /assets/jobs/{id}. Defaults to false (synchronous).
