prompt,style, andtitlefor detailed control
Image to Music (Inspiration Mode only): Pass up to 5 publicly accessible image URLs in image_urls; the music reads the mood of the pictures and can be combined with gpt_description_prompt. Image input adds 1 credit per request and is silently ignored in Custom Mode.
Model Selection: Current models are chirp-v6 (12 credits), chirp-v6-mini (10 credits) and chirp-v6-wild (12 credits). Legacy identifiers are still accepted and billed at their historical price: chirp-v5 / chirp-v5-5 are served by chirp-v6, while chirp-v3-5, chirp-v4-0, chirp-v4-5 and chirp-v4-5-plus are served by chirp-v6-mini. Results always report the model that actually produced the audio in model_name.

Request Body
Request body supports two modes: Inspiration Mode or Custom Mode
Inspiration Mode
Generate music from a text description
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| gpt_description_prompt | string | Yes | Text description of the music you want to generate. Max length: 3000 characters (longer input is truncated). Optional when image_urls is provided. | A upbeat pop song about summer vacation with catchy melody |
Custom Mode
Generate music with custom lyrics, style, and title
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| prompt | string | Yes | Custom lyrics or detailed prompt. Max length: 5000 characters for every model (longer input is truncated). | Verse 1: Walking down the street, feeling so free... |
| style | string | No | Musical style/genre. Max length: 1000 characters for every model (longer input is truncated). | pop, upbeat, electronic, 120 bpm |
| title | string | No | Song title. Max length: 80 characters (longer input is truncated). | Summer Dreams |
| tags | string | No | Negative tags to avoid in generation | sad, slow |
| duration | number | No | Target length in seconds, Custom Mode only. Honoured by chirp-v6, chirp-v6-mini and chirp-v6-wild, and by legacy identifiers served by them. Values from 10 to 360 are accepted. When missing or invalid, no target is sent and the model sizes the track from the lyrics; legacy chirp-v5-5 defaults to 20. This is a target, not an exact length: a value shorter than the lyrics need may end the track before every line is sung. Ignored in Inspiration Mode and by /v2/extend. | 20 |
