POST https://api.roasos.com/v1/assembly/loudnormSend your API key as a bearer token. The key needs the scope api:write. Every paid request also needs an Idempotency-Key header.
The envelope fields quote_only, quote_id, webhook_url and wait_timeout_seconds behave the same on each model endpoint. Refer to Jobs and Quotes and credits.
Good at
Make a music bed or a voice-over the correct level before you put it under a clip. For a music bed under speech, set integrated_loudness to -30. Then use Merge Audio and Video or Compose to put the track onto the clip.
The price is one credit, flat.

The schema is strict. A field that is not in this table gets 400 unsupported_option. The field names are the roasOS role names. One role has one name in every family.
Media
This endpoint accepts these media roles:
audio_url— the driving audio track
| Role | Items | Maximum size | Content types | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
audio_url | ≤ 1 | 15 MB | audio/mp3, audio/mpeg, audio/wav, audio/wave, audio/x-wav | — |
Every other role is refused: avatar_id, elements, product_id, product_images, references, reference_images, image_url, end_image_url, scene_id, scene_image, video_urls, video_url, audio_urls, voice_id. A refused role gets 400 unsupported_option.
https://cdn.roasos.com that your workspace owns. Any other URL gets 400 reference_media_not_workspace_owned. Refer to Reference media and uploads to learn how to put a file there.Prompt

audio_url is required. It must be an audio file that your workspace owns on cdn.roasos.com. The three targets are optional. If you do not send a target, the provider default applies:
integrated_loudnessis the target loudness in LUFS, from -70 to -5. The default is -18.true_peakis the maximum true peak in dBTP, from -9 to 0. The default is -0.1.loudness_rangeis the target loudness range in LU, from 1 to 20. The default is 7.
The result is a WAV file.

Example
The three steps are always the same: quote, run, poll.
# 1. Quote. Nothing is spent.

# "confirmation": { "model": "loudnorm", "example": "per_operation" } } }
# 2. Run. Same body, same Idempotency-Key, quote_id in place of quote_only.
