When you submit a task to the Lyrics Generation API, you can use the callBackUrl parameter to set a callback URL. When the task is completed, the system will automatically push the results to your specified address.

Callback Mechanism Overview

The callback mechanism eliminates the need to poll the API for task status. The system will proactively push task completion results to your server.

Callback Timing

The system will send callback notifications in the following situations:
  • Lyrics generation task completed successfully
  • Lyrics generation task failed
  • Errors occurred during task processing

Callback Method

  • HTTP Method: POST
  • Content Type: application/json
  • Timeout Setting: 15 seconds
  • Retry Mechanism: Retry 3 times after failure, with intervals of 1 minute, 5 minutes, and 15 minutes respectively

Callback Request Format

When the task is completed, the system will send a POST request to your callBackUrl in the following format:
{
  "code": 200,
  "msg": "All generated successfully.",
  "data": {
    "callbackType": "complete",
    "taskId": "11dc****8b0f",
    "lyricsData": [
      {
        "text": "[Verse]\nWalking through the city's darkest night\nWith dreams burning like a blazing fire",
        "title": "Iron Man",
        "status": "complete",
        "errorMessage": ""
      },
      {
        "text": "[Verse]\nWind is calling out my name\nSteel armor shining in the light",
        "title": "Iron Man",
        "status": "complete",
        "errorMessage": ""
      }
    ]
  }
}

Callback Reception Examples

Here are example codes for receiving callbacks in popular programming languages:
const express = require('express');
const app = express();

app.use(express.json());

app.post('/generate-lyrics-callback', (req, res) => {
  const { code, msg, data } = req.body;
  
  console.log('Received lyrics generation callback:', {
    taskId: data.taskId,
    callbackType: data.callbackType,
    status: code,
    message: msg
  });
  
  if (code === 200) {
    // Task completed successfully
    console.log('Lyrics generation completed');
    const lyricsData = data.lyricsData || [];
    
    console.log(`Generated ${lyricsData.length} lyrics variants:`);
    lyricsData.forEach((lyrics, index) => {
      console.log(`Lyrics variant ${index + 1}:`);
      console.log(`  Title: ${lyrics.title}`);
      console.log(`  Status: ${lyrics.status}`);
      if (lyrics.status === 'complete') {
        console.log(`  Lyrics content:\n${lyrics.text}`);
      } else {
        console.log(`  Error message: ${lyrics.errorMessage}`);
      }
    });
    
    // Process generated lyrics
    // Can save to database, files, etc.
    
  } else {
    // Task failed
    console.log('Lyrics generation failed:', msg);
    
    // Handle failure cases...
    if (code === 400) {
      console.log('Parameter error or content violation');
    } else if (code === 451) {
      console.log('File download failed');
    } else if (code === 500) {
      console.log('Server internal error');
    }
  }
  
  // Return 200 status code to confirm callback received
  res.status(200).json({ status: 'received' });
});

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Callback server running on port 3000');
});

Best Practices

Callback URL Configuration Recommendations

  1. Use HTTPS: Ensure your callback URL uses HTTPS protocol for secure data transmission
  2. Verify Source: Verify the legitimacy of the request source in callback processing
  3. Idempotent Processing: The same taskId may receive multiple callbacks, ensure processing logic is idempotent
  4. Quick Response: Callback processing should return a 200 status code as quickly as possible to avoid timeout
  5. Asynchronous Processing: Complex business logic should be processed asynchronously to avoid blocking callback response
  6. Lyrics Storage: Lyrics content should be saved to database or file system promptly

Important Reminders

  • Callback URL must be a publicly accessible address
  • Server must respond within 15 seconds, otherwise it will be considered a timeout
  • If 3 consecutive retries fail, the system will stop sending callbacks
  • Please ensure the stability of callback processing logic to avoid callback failures due to exceptions
  • Pay attention to content policy compliance to avoid generation failures due to policy violations
  • Lyrics content may contain special characters, pay attention to encoding handling

Troubleshooting

If you do not receive callback notifications, please check the following:

Alternative Solution

If you cannot use the callback mechanism, you can also use polling:

Poll Query Results

Use the get lyrics generation details endpoint to regularly query task status. We recommend querying every 30 seconds.
