This endpoint will delete audio clip generated by

This endpoint returns 200 for an audio clip that does not exist or has already been deleted. The one case that does not succeed is a generation still in flight — see the notes below.

https://api.useapi.net/v1/minimax/speech/audio_id

Request Headers 
Authorization: Bearer {API token}
Content-Type: application/json
Path parameter
  • audio_id is required. Specify the audio_id you want to delete.

Notes:

  • Accepts an audioId returned by POST speech/create as well as any audio_id listed by GET speech.
  • A generation that is still running cannot be deleted, because there is nothing stored yet. Cancel it with DELETE scheduler/id instead, passing the same audioId.
  • Deleting is permanent. The recording leaves the MiniMax account and stops appearing in GET speech.
Responses

  • 200 OK

  • 400 Bad Request

    A generation that is still running has nothing stored to delete yet:

    {
    "error": "Generation is still running. Cancel it with DELETE /v1/minimax/scheduler/user:12345-minimax:123456789012345678-audio:178737039436895391"
}

    And one that never produced a recording:

    {
    "error": "Nothing was generated for this audioId, so there is nothing to delete"
}

    Anything else:

    {
    "error": "<Error message>",
    "code": 400
}
