Developer Notes

  1. Recommendation for First-Time Users: Start with customMode: false and instrumental: false, and only provide a prompt. This is the simplest setup to quickly test the API and experience the results.
  2. Generated files are retained for 15 days before being deleted
  3. Ensure all required fields are provided based on the customMode and instrumental settings to avoid errors
  4. Respect the character limits for prompt, style, and title to ensure successful processing
  5. Callback process has three stages: text (text generation), first (first track complete), complete (all tracks complete)
  6. You can use the Get Music Generation Details endpoint to actively check task status instead of waiting for callbacks
