Quick Code Example

Here is an example of generating an audio response to the user input provided in the text parameter.

Python

import os
import requests


def main():
    url = "https://api.aimlapi.com/v1/tts"
    headers = {
        # Insert your AIML API Key instead of <YOUR_AIMLAPI_KEY>:
        "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_AIMLAPI_KEY>",
    }
    payload = {
        "model": " minimax/speech-2.6-turbo",
        "text": "Hi! What are you doing today?",
        "voice_setting": {
          "voice_id": "Wise_Woman"
        }
    }

    response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload, stream=True)
    dist = os.path.abspath("your_file_name.wav")

    with open(dist, "wb") as write_stream:
        for chunk in response.iter_content(chunk_size=8192):
            if chunk:
                write_stream.write(chunk)

    print("Audio saved to:", dist)
