TL;DR: Register → Verify email → Create API key → Add funds → Make API calls.

Choose Your Path

Complete setup directly with cURL commands.

Step 1: Create Your Account

curl -X POST "https://api.audiopod.ai/api/v1/auth/initiate-registration" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "password": "YourSecurePassword123",
    "full_name": "Your Name"
  }'
✅ Check your email for a 6-digit verification code.

Step 2: Verify Your Email

curl -X POST "https://api.audiopod.ai/api/v1/auth/verify-registration" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "verification_code": "123456"
  }'
Response includes your JWT token:
{
  "access_token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIs...",
  "token_type": "bearer"
}
Save the access_token — you need it for Step 3!

Step 3: Create Your API Key

# Use the access_token from Step 2
curl -X POST "https://api.audiopod.ai/api/v1/auth/api-keys" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "my-first-key", "scopes": ["*"]}'
Response:
{
  "api_key": "ap_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
}
Save this key immediately! It’s only shown once.

Step 4: Set Up Your Environment

# Add to your shell profile (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc)
export AUDIOPOD_API_KEY="ap_your_api_key_here"
Or create a .env file:
AUDIOPOD_API_KEY=ap_your_api_key_here

Step 5: Add Funds to Your Wallet

# Get a Stripe payment link
curl -X POST "https://api.audiopod.ai/api/v1/api-wallet/topup/checkout" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $AUDIOPOD_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"amount_cents": 500}'
Open the returned url in your browser to complete payment.

Step 6: Make Your First API Call! 🎉

pip install audiopod
from audiopod import AudioPod

client = AudioPod()  # Uses AUDIOPOD_API_KEY env var

# Separate a song into stems
result = client.stems.separate(
    url="https://youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ",
    mode="six"
)

print("🎵 Stems ready!")
for stem, url in result["download_urls"].items():
    print(f"  {stem}: {url[:50]}...")

Common Issues

Your API key is invalid or missing.Fix: Check the X-API-Key header is set correctly:
echo $AUDIOPOD_API_KEY  # Should print your key
Your wallet is empty.Fix: Add funds via CLI or dashboard:
curl -X POST "https://api.audiopod.ai/api/v1/api-wallet/topup/checkout" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $AUDIOPOD_API_KEY" \
  -d '{"amount_cents": 500}'
Audio processing jobs can take time depending on file length.Fix: Poll the status endpoint:
curl "https://api.audiopod.ai/api/v1/stem-extraction/status/JOB_ID" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $AUDIOPOD_API_KEY"
