Before you call either

Beatoven.ai API

  1. Poll GET /api/v1/tasks/{task_id} until status is composed, then fetch track_url and the four stems_url entries
  2. Put the length in the prompt text, e.g. "30 seconds peaceful lo-fi". There's no duration field
  3. Set format to mp3. The default is WAV
  4. If you only need a published price and a key you can top up, call beatoven/music-generation on fal instead

Mubert API

  1. Search the library before generating. A match costs no generation
  2. Pick a pre-rendered duration (5, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60, 180, 240 or 300 seconds) for a one-request result
  3. Download tracks straight away. URLs expire after 900 seconds by default
  4. Treat stream URLs as secrets. They carry the customer access token
