OpenAI Text-to-Speech API (/v1/audio/speech)

Synthesize text into natural speech, fully compatible with OpenAI's /v1/audio/speech. Any OpenAI SDK works by pointing base_url at https://api.acedata.cloud and using your AceData token. The endpoint returns the audio bytes synchronously.

  • Endpoint: POST https://api.acedata.cloud/v1/audio/speech (alias POST /openai/audio/speech)
  • Auth: header Authorization: Bearer {token}
  • Billing: by request text size; ~85% of OpenAI's official price (see table).

Request parameters

Field Type Required Description
input string yes The text to synthesize.
model string no tts-1 (faster) or tts-1-hd (higher quality, default).
voice string no One of alloy, echo, fable, onyx, nova, shimmer (default alloy).
response_format string no mp3 (default), opus, aac, flac, wav, pcm.
speed number no Speech speed 0.25–4.0, default 1.0.

Example

curl -X POST 'https://api.acedata.cloud/v1/audio/speech' \
  -H 'authorization: Bearer {token}' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -o speech.mp3 \
  -d '{
    "model": "tts-1-hd",
    "input": "What if one API gave you every AI video model?",
    "voice": "nova",
    "response_format": "mp3"
  }'

The response is the audio file itself (Content-Type: audio/mpeg) — write it to speech.mp3 and play.

With the official OpenAI Python SDK:

from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(base_url="https://api.acedata.cloud/v1", api_key="{token}")
client.audio.speech.create(model="tts-1-hd", voice="nova", input="Hello from AceData.").stream_to_file("speech.mp3")
