Body

modelstring · enumRequiredPossible values:

textstring · min: 1 · max: 4096Required

The text content to be converted to speech.

voicestring · enumOptional

Name of the voice to be used.

Default: alloyPossible values:

stylestringOptional

Determines the style exaggeration of the voice. This setting attempts to amplify the style of the original speaker. It does consume additional computational resources and might increase latency if set to anything other than 0.

response_formatstring · enumOptional

Format of the output content for non-streaming requests. Controls how the generated audio data is encoded in the response.

Default: mp3Possible values:

speednumber · min: 0.25 · max: 4Optional

Adjusts the speed of the voice. A value of 1.0 is the default speed, while values less than 1.0 slow down the speech, and values greater than 1.0 speed it up.

Default: 1

streamboolean · enumOptionalDefault: falsePossible values:

base_url = "https://api.aimlapi.com/v1"

headers = {

    "model": "openai/tts-1",
    "text": "TTS-1 is a fast and powerful language model. Use it to convert text to natural sounding spoken text.",
    "voice": "coral",
}

response = requests.post(f"{base_url}/tts", headers=headers, json=data)
response.raise_for_status()

result = response.json()

print("Audio URL:", result["audio"]["url"])

JaveScript

import axios from "axios";

// Insert your AI/ML API key instead of <YOUR_AIMLAPI_KEY>:
const apiKey = "<YOUR_API_KEY>";
const baseURL = "https://api.aimlapi.com/v1";

const headers = {
  Authorization: `Bearer ${apiKey}`,
  "Content-Type": "application/json",
};

const data = {
  model: "openai/tts-1",
  text: "TTS-1 is a fast and powerful language model. Use it to convert text to natural sounding spoken text.",
