## Facts

- Kind: Model API · vendor: Resemble AI · category: Voice cloning & custom voices · legal entity: Resemble AI, Inc. · provenance 86/100
- Endpoint: `https://app.resemble.ai/api/v2` (HTTP)
- Auth: API key · pricing: Paid · x402: no · licence: unknown
- Probe metrics: not measured yet (probes haven't run)
- Sample length: Rapid clone 10 seconds to 3 minutes, as one WAV of at least 10 seconds or 3 or more recordings. Professional clone 10 to 25+ minutes
- Instant vs professional: Rapid is ready in under a minute. Professional trains in about 40 minutes per the product page. API-created voices default to rapid
- Voice design: In the web app, 3 candidates from a text description on the Dramabox model. No endpoint in the public API reference
- Consent and verification: Terms require you to hold the rights and consents, and say Resemble may require verbal consent in a format it sets. No consent field or verification call in the API reference. The Node SDK still sends an optional `consent` value
- Voice ownership: You keep your recordings. Resemble owns the models and software behind a voice and any aggregated data, and destroys AI models on request after termination
- Endpoints: `POST /voices`, `POST /voices/{uuid}/recordings`, `POST /voices/{uuid}/build`, plus list, get and delete
- Free tier: No API cloning below Business. On Flex the web app gives the first clone free
- Rate limits: 40 requests a second per token. The number of voices is capped by purchased clone slots
- Data retention: Recordings and voice models kept while the account is active, then 30 days after termination or a deletion request. Synthesis text and generated audio aren't kept after delivery. Customer voice data isn't used to train general-purpose models (privacy policy, 14 August 2026)
- Models: Resemble Ultra for new and upgraded voices. Seven older TTS models, Chatterbox and Chatterbox-Turbo among them, are end of life, and voices still on them can't generate audio until upgraded
- Prices: Voice clone slot on Team or Business $1.50 per month (plan); Voice clone slot on Flex $2 per month (plan); Business plan $1000 per month (plan)

## Before you call it

1. Create the voice, upload recordings or pass `dataset_url`, then call `/build`. Nothing trains until you do
2. Set `callback_uri` rather than polling for `status` to reach `finished`
3. Expect a rapid clone. Since 2026-06-30 API-created voices default to rapid, and create-voice has no field to pick another type
4. Upgrade any voice on a pre-Ultra model before synthesis, since those voices can no longer generate audio
5. Check `success` in every response body, log the request ID, and stay under 40 requests a second per token with your own backoff

## Connect

  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"Support voice","dataset_url":"https://example.com/sample.wav","callback_uri":"https://example.com/hooks/resemble"}'
