When you submit a task to the music extension API, you can use the callBackUrl parameter to set a callback URL. When the task is completed, the system will automatically push the results to your specified address.

Callback Mechanism Overview

The callback mechanism eliminates the need to poll the API for task status. The system will proactively push task completion results to your server.

Callback Timing

The system will send callback notifications in the following situations:
  • Text generation completed (text stage)
  • First extended music track generated (first stage)
  • All extended music tracks generated (complete stage)
  • Music extension task failed
  • Error occurred during task processing

Callback Method

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

Callback Request Format

When the task is completed, the system will send a POST request to your callBackUrl in the following format:

Status Code Description

integer
required
Callback status code indicating task processing result:
string
required
Status message providing detailed status description
string
required
Callback type indicating the current callback stage:
  • text: Text generation completed
  • first: First extended music track generated
  • complete: All extended music tracks generated
  • failed: Task failed
string
required
Task ID, consistent with the taskId returned when you submitted the task
array
Music extension result information, returned on success
string
Audio unique identifier (audioId)
string
Extended audio file download link
string
deprecated
Deprecated. Original audio file link returned by Suno. This link expires after a period of time and is no longer maintained — do not rely on it for long-term storage. Use the Recovery Audio endpoint to obtain a fresh playable link.
string
Streaming audio playback link
string
Music cover image link
string
Extension prompt used
string
AI model name used for extension
string
Extended music title
string
Music style tags
string
Creation time
number
Extended audio duration (seconds)

Callback Reception Examples

Here are example codes for receiving callbacks in various popular programming languages:

Best Practices

Music Extension Callback Configuration

  1. Source Validation: Verify that the original audio source is valid before processing extension callbacks
  2. Duration Tracking: Monitor the extended duration to ensure it meets your requirements
  3. Quality Check: Implement quality checks for the extended audio segments
  4. Version Control: Keep track of extension iterations and maintain version history
  5. Fallback Handling: Implement fallback mechanisms if extension fails
  6. Seamless Integration: Ensure the extended portion integrates smoothly with the original track

Extension-Specific Considerations

  • Extension tasks require a valid source audio file
  • The continueAt parameter determines where the extension begins
  • Extended tracks maintain the style and characteristics of the original
  • Extension quality depends on the source audio quality
  • Some complex musical structures may be challenging to extend seamlessly

Troubleshooting

Common issues specific to music extension callbacks:
  • Verify the source audio quality and format
  • Check if the continueAt parameter is set to an appropriate time point
  • Ensure the extension prompt matches the original music style
  • Consider the musical complexity of the source material
  • Confirm the source audio ID is valid and accessible
  • Verify the original audio file is not corrupted
  • Check if the source audio meets minimum quality requirements
  • Ensure the original track has sufficient content for extension
  • Verify the continueAt timestamp is within the valid range
  • Check for audio synchronization issues in the extended portion
  • Monitor for tempo or key changes that might affect extension quality

Alternative Solutions

If you cannot use the callback mechanism, you can also use polling:

Poll Extension Results

Use the Get Music Generation Details interface to regularly query extension task status. Recommend querying every 30 seconds.
