Adapt

adapt.separate_stems (submit)

Submit a stem separation request.

Returns immediately with status: processing. Use the matching GET to poll for completion, or supply a callback_url to receive a webhook.

Separates a mixed audio track into its constituent stems (vocals, drums, bass, other, instrumental). The outputs list contains one entry per stem with a kind discriminator.

Credits cost: 3 per request (flat, regardless of stem count). Insufficient credits returns 402 — see errors.

Authorizations

Authorization

string

header

required

Bearer authentication header of the form Bearer <token>, where <token> is your auth token.

Body

application/json

idempotency_key

string<uuid>

required

A unique UUID you choose. Send the same key to retry safely; we'll return the original response without doing the work again.

Example:

"3f2b8c1e-9d4a-4e7b-b6c5-1a2d3e4f5a6b"

source

AudioSource · object

required

The audio source to operate on.

callback_url

string<uri> | null

Optional HTTPS URL we'll POST the final response to when the operation reaches ready or failed. Polling remains the canonical source of truth; webhooks are a best-effort latency optimisation.

Required string length: 1 - 2048

Example:

"https://example.com/webhooks/soundpiece"
