Generate AD Audio

Generate an audio-only track with audio descriptions (no video rendering). This is useful when you only need the audio track without video processing.

​
1. Using a Video from public URL

Upload from a public URL and generate in one step. 
curl -X POST https://api.viddyscribe.com/enterprise/api/generate_ad_audio \
  -H "X-API-Key: vsk_your_api_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "input": {
      "type": "url",
      "url": "https://example.com/video.mp4"
    },
    "generation_config": {
      "language": "en-US",
      "voice": "Achernar",
      "format": "vtt",
      "custom_instructions": "Keep descriptions concise and focus on on-screen text."
    }
  }'
Response: 
{
  "job_id": "task_abc123xyz",
  "status": "queued",
  "media_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000"
}
Use the job_id to poll get_results for completion.

​
2. Using a Video from local file

Upload a local file and generate in one step. 
curl -X POST https://api.viddyscribe.com/enterprise/api/generate_ad_audio \
  -H "X-API-Key: vsk_your_api_key_here" \
  -F 'input={"type": "file"}' \
  -F "file=@video.mp4" \
  -F 'generation_config={"language": "en-US", "voice": "Achernar", "format": "vtt", "custom_instructions": "Keep descriptions concise and focus on on-screen text."}'
Response: 
{
  "job_id": "task_abc123xyz",
  "status": "queued",
  "media_id": "660f9511-f30c-52e5-b827-557766551111"
}
Use the job_id to poll get_results for completion. On success, audio_signed_url contains a signed URL to download the audio track (WAV format).

​
Tips

  • Note: Audio generation only supports standard_ad type (concise descriptions during dialogue pauses).
  • The default text output format is json. Set format to "vtt" to include a WebVTT string in the response output.
  • Audio output is priced at 0.75x the base workflow cost.
  • Use custom_instructions to guide the AI’s description style (e.g. tone, focus, or length).

​
Retrieve Results

Use the job_id from the previous step to fetch results: 
curl -X GET "https://api.viddyscribe.com/enterprise/api/get_results?job_id=TASK_ID" \
  -H "X-API-Key: vsk_your_api_key_here"
Example successful response for audio jobs (with format: "vtt"): 
{
  "job_id": "task_abc123xyz",
  "status": "done",
  "media_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
  "audio_signed_url": "https://storage.googleapis.com/bucket/path/to/audio.wav?X-Goog-Signature=...",
  "output": {
    "format": "vtt",
    "content": "WEBVTT\n\n1\n00:00:00.500 --> 00:00:03.100\nA woman in a yellow top sits at a desk with a laptop.\n\n2\n00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:05.900\nShe looks at the camera and smiles.\n"
