# Vocal remover and stems

> Use an audio URL for toolbox separation or an APIstable audio ID for native stems, then listen to and download individual parts.

> Operations are enabled individually by server configuration. Disabled operations return 503 without a task. Music credit deduction is currently disabled.

## Using this operation

Use an audio URL for toolbox separation or an APIstable audio ID for native stems, then listen to and download individual parts.

* 1. Prepare the fields shown in the example below. Replace sample URLs and IDs with resources you can access.
* 2. Set model to suno\_separate\_vocals and place the parameters inside input. Submit once and save the returned task\_id.
* 3. Query the saved task or receive its callback. A processing result is not a reason to submit the operation again.
* Iterate result.stems to access each part’s download\_url and expiry. Use the returned stem names and count.

## Create task

Send model and input to the common task endpoint. callback\_url is an optional top-level public HTTPS address. All resource IDs are APIstable IDs owned by your account. Music credit deduction is currently disabled.

```json theme={null}
{
  "model": "suno_separate_vocals",
  "input": {
    "type": "separate_vocal",
    "upload_url": "https://example.com/song.mp3"
  }
}
```

## Acceptance response

HTTP 200 confirms acceptance, not completion. Query GET /api/v1/tasks/\{task\_id} until data.status is succeeded or failed. Read data.result only after success; a failed task has its error in data.message.

```json theme={null}
{
  "code": 200,
  "msg": "success",
  "data": {
    "task_id": "YOUR_TASK_ID"
  }
}
```

## Inputs and limits

## Important conditions

* separate\_vocal and split\_stem use upload\_url with an audio limit of 100 MiB. separate\_vocal requests two stems; split\_stem requires stem\_mode=4 or 6. Choose the documented output\_format; default wav.
* Native split\_stem\_advanced uses audio\_id, not upload\_url or output\_format. Omit stem\_name for twelve-stem separation, or pass Piano for the enabled single-stem extraction. Other names return 42201. Multiple groups may be returned; use the actual stems array rather than a fixed count.
* Audio URL inputs must contain readable MP3/WAV/FLAC/OGG/M4A/AAC audio with positive duration; the limit is 100 MiB per file. URLs must be publicly accessible HTTPS on port 443, without embedded credentials or private-network addresses. Keep them accessible until the task finishes.
* Uploaded files last 24 hours, generated files 14 days and task details 30 days. Reused files keep their original expiry. Valid Voice/Persona identity mappings are separate from task-log cleanup. Download files you need to retain.

## Result schema

The creation response is \{code:200,msg:"success",data:\{task\_id}}. Poll GET /api/v1/tasks/\{task\_id}. On success, data.result is an object matching the schema below; it is otherwise null. input remains a JSON string.
