Create a Task

Include one target per stem you want to extract:

separate_stems.py

import requests

API_KEY = "your_api_key"
HEADERS = {"Content-Type": "application/json", "x-api-key": API_KEY}

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.audioshake.ai/tasks",
    headers=HEADERS,
    json={
        "assetId": "your_asset_id",
        "targets": [
            {"model": "vocals", "formats": ["wav"]},
            {"model": "drums", "formats": ["wav"]},
            {"model": "bass", "formats": ["wav"]},
            {"model": "other", "formats": ["wav"]}
        ]
    }
)

task_id = response.json()["id"]
print(f"Task created: {task_id}")

separateStems.js

const API_KEY = "your_api_key";
const headers = { "Content-Type": "application/json", "x-api-key": API_KEY };

const createRes = await fetch("https://api.audioshake.ai/tasks", {
