Creating TTS jobs documentation is misleading
27 days ago by Milos G
According to the docs (https://docs.play.ht/reference/api-generate-audio) This should work (NOTE the null
values):
curl --request POST --url https://api.play.ht/api/v2/tts --header "Authorization: Bearer $PLAYHT_SECRET_KEY" --header "X-USER-ID: $PLAYHT_USER_ID" --header 'content-type: application/json' --header 'Accept: application/json' -d '
{
"text": "What is life?",
"voice": "s3://mockingbird-prod/abigail_vo_6661b91f-4012-44e3-ad12-589fbdee9948/voices/speaker/manifest.json",
"quality": "low",
"output_format": "mp3",
"voice_engine": "PlayHT2.0",
"emotion": "female_happy",
"speed": 1,
"temperature": null,
"sample_rate": 24000,
"seed": null,
"voice_guidance": null,
"style_guidance": null
}'
{"error_message":"An unexpected error occurred, please wait a few moments and try again. If the problem persists, please contact support.","error_id":"UNEXPECTED_ERROR"}%
Alas, no. The problem is, the remote API endpoint can't deserialize null
vals, even though the docs explicitly mention them 😮💨
This works like a charm, though (NOTE: omitted the null
vals):
curl --request POST --url https://api.play.ht/api/v2/tts --header "Authorization: Bearer $PLAYHT_SECRET_KEY" --header "X-USER-ID: $PLAYHT_USER_ID" --header 'content-type: application/json' --header 'Accept: application/json' -d '{
"text": "What is life?",
"voice": "s3://mockingbird-prod/abigail_vo_6661b91f-4012-44e3-ad12-589fbdee9948/voices/speaker/manifest.json",
"quality": "low",
"output_format": "mp3",
"voice_engine": "PlayHT2.0",
"emotion": "female_happy",
"speed": 1,
"sample_rate": 24000
}'
So, I'd suggest either updating the API docs or fix this in the backend
