Suno does not offer broadly available public API keys. To build with Suno-style music generation, developers use MusicAPI — an independent developer platform with REST endpoints, webhooks and commercial licensing. Here is how to get your API key and make your first call in about two minutes.
Send the key as a Bearer token:curl -X POST 'https://api.musicapi.ai/api/v1/sonic/create' -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{ "custom_mode": false, "gpt_description_prompt": "a song about sky", "mv": "sonic-v4-5" }'The response returns a task_id. Audio is typically ready in about 2 minutes — fetch it with Get Music, or receive a push via the Webhook Integration Guide.
Is this an official Suno API key? No — MusicAPI is an independent developer platform for Suno-style generation and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Suno. Model versions are selected per request via the mv parameter (sonic-v3-5 → sonic-v5-5).How many free credits do new accounts get? Enough for your first test generations — sign up and the balance is visible immediately in the dashboard.Can I use the key in production? Yes. Top up credits pay-as-you-go or pick a monthly plan; keys work the same either way.
