# Audio

> Generate and retrieve sound effects, ambience, music, and other Audio assets.

Use the Audio API for finished app-ready sound.

## Generate Audio

Call `POST /v1/audio:generate` with `prompt` and `audioKind`. Add `name` only for a specific Mint title, and use [generation presets](/developers/api-overview#presets) to choose the speed, quality, and cost tier.

```json theme={null}
{
  "prompt": "A short metallic door unlock sound",
  "name": "Door unlock",
  "audioKind": "sound_effect",
  "durationSeconds": 2
}
```

`audioKind` can be `sound_effect` or `general_audio`. `durationSeconds` is optional and can be up to 300 seconds. Audio generation does not use `generationMode`.

## Retrieve Audio and files

Read the asset ID from `operation.resource`, then call `GET /v1/audio/{audioId}`. Use the [Assets](/developers/assets) routes for the complete file manifest and download URL.
