Audio Separation Callbacks ​

System will call this callback when vocal and instrument separation is complete.

When you submit a vocal separation task to the Suno API, you can use the callBackUrl parameter to set a callback URL. The system will automatically push the results to your specified address when the task is completed.

Callback Mechanism Overview ​

Webhook Security

To ensure the authenticity and integrity of callback requests, we strongly recommend implementing webhook signature verification. See our Webhook Verification Guide for detailed implementation steps.

Callback Timing ​

The system will send callback notifications in the following situations:

  • Vocal separation task completed successfully
  • Vocal separation task failed
  • Errors occurred during task processing

Callback Method ​

  • HTTP Method: POST
  • Content Type: application/json
  • Timeout Setting: 15 seconds

Callback Request Format ​

When the task is completed, the system will send a POST request to your callBackUrl based on the separation type you selected. Different separation types correspond to different callback data structures:

Best Practices ​

Callback URL Configuration Recommendations

  1. Use HTTPS: Ensure callback URL uses HTTPS protocol for secure data transmission
  2. Verify Origin: Verify the legitimacy of the request source in callback processing
  3. Idempotent Processing: The same task_id may receive multiple callbacks, ensure processing logic is idempotent
  4. Quick Response: Callback processing should return 200 status code quickly to avoid timeout
  5. Asynchronous Processing: Complex business logic should be processed asynchronously to avoid blocking callback responses
  6. Type-based Processing: Handle different audio file structures based on different separation types
  7. Batch Download: split_stem type produces multiple files, recommend batch downloading and organizing by type

Important Reminders

  • Callback URL must be publicly accessible
  • Server must respond within 15 seconds, otherwise will be considered timeout
  • If 3 consecutive retry attempts fail, the system will stop sending callbacks
  • Please ensure the stability of callback processing logic to avoid callback failures due to exceptions
  • Vocal separation generated audio file URLs may have time limits, recommend downloading and saving promptly
  • Note that some audio part URLs may be empty, certain instrument separations might be empty
  • separate_vocal and split_stem types return different fields, please handle corresponding fields based on the type parameter in the request

Troubleshooting ​

If you are not receiving callback notifications, please check the following:

Network Connection Issues
  • Confirm callback URL is accessible from public internet
  • Check firewall settings to ensure inbound requests are not blocked
  • Verify domain name resolution is correct
Server Response Issues
  • Ensure server returns HTTP 200 status code within 15 seconds
  • Check server logs for error messages
  • Verify endpoint path and HTTP method are correct
Content Format Issues
  • Confirm received POST request body is in JSON format
  • Check if Content-Type is application/json
  • Verify JSON parsing is correct
File Processing Issues
  • Confirm all audio file URLs are accessible
  • Check file download permissions and network connection
  • Verify file save path and permissions
  • Note that some instrument separation results may be empty
  • Note the field differences between separate_vocal and split_stem types
