Audio

Produce a looping background ambiance soundscape from a text description, such as "windy forest at dusk" or "busy tavern interior". The job result is a single audio result containing a URL. The description field is required and duration is capped at 10 seconds (0 means auto-pick based on the description). Credits are held when the job is accepted and refunded if it fails or is cancelled. Use this for continuous, atmospheric background loops; use createSoundEffect for short discrete sound effects, createMusic for musical pieces, and createAudioTransform to remix an existing audio sample. Pass an optional request_id to tag the result so you can locate it later via listGenerations (type audio). Requires an API key (user scope). The call returns 202 with a job id - poll getApiJob (pass wait 30 to long-poll) honouring poll_after_ms, until status is succeeded; its result field is exactly the response documented for this operation. Synchronous responses are deprecated but still supported: pass `async: false` to block until the result is ready and receive it as the response body. 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).

post/audio/ambiance

Request body

descriptionstring required

Text description of the ambiance to generate (e.g., "windy forest at dusk", "busy tavern interior").

durationnumber float

Duration in seconds. Use 0 for automatic duration based on the description.

loopboolean

Generate an ambiance that loops seamlessly.

augment_promptboolean

Augment the prompt behind the scenes. Disable to have more control.

request_idstring

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

asyncboolean

Defaults to true: the call returns 202 immediately with a job id to poll with getApiJob. Set false for a synchronous response (deprecated but supported): the call then blocks until the result is ready.

Response

Success

urlstring

URL to the generated audio file

typestring
durationnumber float
request_idstring
created_atinteger
