Parameter Selection Logic

  1. audioId parameter:
    • The audioId parameter is required to identify the exact track
    • Provides a unique identifier for the audio track within the generation task

​
Developer Notes

  1. Timestamp values are in seconds
  2. Returned waveform data can be used for audio visualization
  3. For instrumental tracks (generated with instrumental=true), no lyrics data will be available
  4. Typical use case: Karaoke-style lyrics display in music player interfaces
