curl https://kidsstoryteller.ai/api/v1/tts \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ksk_live_YOUR_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"text": "Once upon a time, in a forest full of wonder, a little fox found a glowing seed.",
"voice": "kid-girl",
"speed": "normal"
}' \
--output story.mp3▶️ Try it
Hear any voice before you integrate. (Uses your account's character allowance — no API key needed here.)
POST /api/v1/tts
text required — up to 20,000 characters (~20 min of audio; long texts are synthesized seamlessly).
voice — voice id (default kid-girl). See the list below or GET /api/v1/voices.
speed — slow | normal | gentle.
format — mp3 (binary, default) or json (base64).
const res = await fetch("https://kidsstoryteller.ai/api/v1/tts", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Authorization": "Bearer ksk_live_YOUR_KEY",
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
body: JSON.stringify({
text: "Era uma vez uma raposa azul…",
voice: "kid-portuguese",
format: "json", // base64 instead of binary
}),
});
const { audio, credits_charged } = await res.json();Errors are JSON: { "error": { "code", "message" } } — 401 bad key, 402 not enough credits, 400 invalid input or content rejected, 429 rate limited. You are never charged for a failed request.
