Before you call either
Loudly Music API
- Send
test=truewhile wiring up. It returns a dummy song and spends no credits - Call
GET /api/ai/genresfirst. Genre, BPM range and instrument names must match that list - Treat 402 as out of credits and stop, not retry
- A 403 on Manta routes means the account flag is off, not a bad key
Mubert API
- Search the library before generating. A match costs no generation
- Pick a pre-rendered duration (5, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60, 180, 240 or 300 seconds) for a one-request result
- Download tracks straight away. URLs expire after 900 seconds by default
- Treat stream URLs as secrets. They carry the customer access token
