Short answer: Suno does not provide a general public API for every user. If you need music generation inside your own product, a third-party API that connects to the official V6 pipeline is the practical route. This site provides an API key after email registration; you do not need a separate Suno account.
Short answer: Suno-API uses Suno's official V6 model and provides API keys. Register with an email, create a key in the console, and you can call the generation, query, editing and download endpoints. You do not need a separate Suno account.
What an API key lets you do
| Capability | Common endpoint | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Song generation | POST /api/music/create | Send a description or lyrics and get two song results |
| Task query | POST /api/music/query | Look up generation progress and audio URLs by song_id |
| Editing and stems | /api/music/* | Cover songs, extend, replace sections, separate stems, WAV and more |
| Media download | /api/music/download* | Download MP3, WAV, video, cover art and lyric files |
Get a key in three steps
- Register and sign in to the console with an email. No phone number and no Suno account required.
- Create an API key under "Token management". The full key is shown only once, so save it to a server-side environment variable.
- Send
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEYin the request header and follow the quick start to make your first generation.
Your first generation request
curl -X POST "https://www.suno-api.io/api/music/create" -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
"description": "warm pop, piano intro, clear female vocal",
"model": "suno-v6"
}'A standard generation costs 0.6 yuan and usually returns 2 songs. Save the song_id from the response, then call the query endpoint to read the status; once generation finishes you can download MP3 or WAV.

Pre-launch checklist
- Keep the API key in a server-side environment variable. Do not put it in browser JavaScript or a public repository.
- Set a long enough timeout on generation requests, and query the task after a timeout before resubmitting to avoid duplicate submissions and duplicate charges.
- Control concurrency for batch jobs with a queue, and store the request ID and song_id of each call so you can recover and deduplicate.
- For commercial delivery, also keep generation records and apply for a music commercial license where the conditions apply.
