}

Webhook (Optional)

Add the X-Webhook-URL header to your submit request to receive a POST callback when the job completes — no polling required.

Using curl? These are HTTP request headers — pass each with -H, e.g. -H "X-Webhook-URL: https://your-server.com/webhook/callback". Do not paste them as bare lines, and end every line of a multi-line command with \.

Webhook Headers

HeaderRequiredDefaultDescription
X-Webhook-URLYes (to enable)HTTPS endpoint on your server that will receive the POST callback. Must respond 2xx within a few seconds (process async if needed).
X-Webhook-ModeNoterminalterminal — fires once at the final status (COMPLETED/FAILED/ERROR). sync — fires on every poll cycle plus the terminal event, and caps the queue’s polling delay at 15s for tighter progress updates.

Example: enable webhook

X-Webhook-URL: https://your-server.com/webhook/callback
X-Webhook-Mode: terminal

Callback Payload

Your endpoint receives a POST application/json with the same shape as the GET /v2/requests/status/{request_id} response. Example terminal callback (mode terminal):

{
  "request_id": "lux-tts_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "status": "COMPLETED",
  "model_id": "lux-tts",
  "error": null,
  "output": {
    "media_url": [
      "https://pub-582b7213209642b9b995c96c95a30381.r2.dev/v1/lux-tts_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/output.wav"
    ],
    "media_type": "audio/wav"
  },
  "created_at": "2026-05-22T13:17:32.110Z",
  "updated_at": "2026-05-22 13:19:23",
  "completed_at": "2026-05-22 13:19:23"
}

Failure callback shape

{
  "request_id": "lux-tts_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "status": "ERROR",
  "model_id": "lux-tts",
  "error": "Description of the error",
  "output": null,
  "created_at": "...",
  "updated_at": "...",
  "completed_at": "..."
}

Delivery semantics

  • terminal mode (default) — exactly one POST when the request reaches a terminal status. No callback during PROCESSING.
  • sync modePOST on every status poll (with delay capped at ~15s) plus a final POST at terminal status. Use when you want progress updates.
  • Idempotency — use request_id as your idempotency key. Network retries can deliver the same callback more than once; your handler must tolerate duplicates.
  • Response — respond 200 OK within a few seconds. The queue does not block on slow handlers, but persistent failures may stop further deliveries.
  • HTTPS required — plain http:// URLs are rejected.

Request Parameters - Lux TTS generate request

Field Type Required Default Description
prompt string Yes The text to be converted into speech. Must be a clear, well-formed sentence or paragraph.
audio_url string Yes A publicly accessible URL to an audio file (MP3, WAV, etc.) used as a reference for voice cloning. The audio should contain a single speaker’s voice for optimal results.
num_inference_steps integer No 4 Number of refinement steps during audio generation. Higher values improve quality but increase processing time.
max_ref_length integer No 5 Maximum length in seconds of the reference audio to use for voice cloning. Longer clips may improve fidelity but are capped at this value.
guidance_scale number No 3 Controls how closely the generated speech follows the reference voice and prompt. Higher values increase voice similarity but may reduce naturalness.

                    → FAILED
                    → ERROR

Typical Workflow

  1. Send a generate request to the API endpoint
  2. Save the request_id from the response
  3. Poll every 5-10 seconds: GET /v2/requests/status/{request_id}
  4. When status is "COMPLETED", download from output.media_url

Tip: Use X-Webhook-URL header to get a callback instead of polling.
