From the project READMESuno by Ace Data Cloud
Generate AI-powered music through AceDataCloud's Suno API.
Install and connect from skills.sh
This integration is maintained by Ace Data Cloud; it is not an official Suno publisher listing. Install only this Skill with npx skills add acedatacloud/skills --skill suno-music --yes, or use the public skills.sh page. Keep the slug suno-music when selecting it.
Read the illustrated first-run guide (简体中文) for registration, Applications → General application, API key access and price checks, and the environment variable location for your coding agent. For skills.sh installations, use this guide; any ClawHub-specific setup applies only to OpenClaw. The shared references linked here are online because focused installs do not include sibling _shared/ folders.
ClawHub / OpenClaw setup
- Already installed from skills.sh? Continue at step 2. For a coding agent, install with
npx skills add acedatacloud/skills --skill suno-music --yes(installation and first run). For OpenClaw, useclawhub install @acedatacloud/sunoand check that the ClawHub publisher is @acedatacloud. - Sign in at AceDataCloud → Applications, open General application, and check Suno access, balance, and current pricing. Copy its API key, or select Manage Keys → Create for a separate key. Copy the key value without
Bearer; aplatform-...management token is not a service API key. - If you enable Allowed APIs restrictions, include
/suno/audiosand/suno/tasks. Advanced workflows below may call additional routes. - For a coding agent or direct command, export
ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN="your_api_key_here"in the environment of the process that runs the Skill; project.envloading is agent-specific. For OpenClaw, putACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN=your_api_key_herein~/.openclaw/.envon the Gateway host, then restart the Gateway and start a new session. Never put the key in a prompt or commit an.envfile. - Run the Quick Start below. If it returns a task ID, query that same task until it finishes; do not submit a second billable generation just to check progress.

Core Workflows
1. Quick Generation (Inspiration Mode)
Generate a song from a text description. Suno creates lyrics, style, and music automatically.
POST /suno/audios
{
"prompt": "an upbeat electronic track about the future of AI",
"model": "chirp-v6",
"instrumental": false
}
2. Custom Generation (Full Control)
Provide your own lyrics, title, and style for precise control.
POST /suno/audios
{
"custom": true,
"lyric": "[Verse]\nCode is poetry in motion\n[Chorus]\nWe build the future tonight",
"title": "Digital Dreams",
"style": "Synthwave, Electronic, Dreamy",
"model": "chirp-v6",
"vocal_gender": "f"
}
3. Extend a Song
Continue an existing song from a specific timestamp with new lyrics.
POST /suno/audios
{
"action": "extend",
"audio_id": "existing-audio-id",
"lyric": "[Bridge]\nNew section lyrics here",
"continue_at": 120.0,
"style": "Same style as original"
}
4. Cover / Remix
Create a new version of an existing song in a different style.
POST /suno/audios
{
"action": "cover",
"audio_id": "existing-audio-id",
"style": "Jazz, Acoustic, Mellow"
}
5. Full Song Creation Workflow
For best results follow this multi-step workflow:
- Generate lyrics —
POST /suno/lyricswith a topic/prompt - Optimize style —
POST /suno/styleto refine style description - Generate music —
POST /suno/audioswith custom action, lyrics + style - Poll task —
POST /suno/taskswithid(oridsfor batch) until status is complete - Optional: Extend — Use extend action to add more sections
- Optional: Concat — Use concat action to merge extended segments
- Optional: Convert — Get MP3 (
/suno/mp3), WAV (/suno/wav), MIDI (/suno/midi), or MP4 (/suno/mp4)
Available Actions
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
generate | Generate from prompt (default) |
extend | Continue an existing audio from a timestamp |
upload_extend | Upload external audio, then extend it |
upload_cover | Upload external audio, then create a cover |
concat | Concatenate extended segments into one track |
cover | Copy the style of an existing audio |
artist_consistency | Generate in a custom singer's style |
artist_consistency_vox | Artist consistency with vocal focus |
stems | Separate a track into stems |
all_stems | Separate into all available stems |
replace_section | Replace a specific time range in a song |
underpainting | Add accompaniment to an uploaded song |
overpainting | Add vocals to an uploaded song |
remaster | Remaster an existing audio |
mashup | Blend multiple audio IDs together |
samples | Add samples to an uploaded song |
inspo | Generate a song inspired by an existing audio |
Custom Music Models (Beta)
Custom models learn reusable musical characteristics from 6–24 authorized audio files. Creation is a paid, long-running operation. Ask the user to confirm the files and cost before submitting it.
Create
POST /suno/custom-models
{
"action": "create",
"name": "My Album Sound",
"audio_urls": [
"https://cdn.example.com/track-01.mp3",
"https://cdn.example.com/track-02.mp3",
"https://cdn.example.com/track-03.mp3",
"https://cdn.example.com/track-04.mp3",
"https://cdn.example.com/track-05.mp3",
"https://cdn.example.com/track-06.mp3"
]
}
Send a stable Idempotency-Key header and reuse it after network failures. Save the returned id; query it until status is ready.
Query and list
POST /suno/custom-models
{"action": "retrieve", "id": "<custom-model-id>"}
POST /suno/custom-models
{"action": "retrieve_batch", "status": "ready", "limit": 20, "offset": 0}
Generate
POST /suno/custom-models
{
"action": "generate",
"id": "<ready-custom-model-id>",
"lyric": "[Verse]\nOriginal lyrics here",
"style": "warm indie pop",
"title": "New Song",
"async": true
}
Async acceptance is not terminal success: poll the returned task and inspect response.success. A custom-model request never falls back to another model. The model must belong to the current Suno application and have status: "ready".
Archive
POST /suno/custom-models
{"action": "delete", "id": "<custom-model-id>"}
delete archives the platform resource and prevents further use. capacity_released: false means it does not promise that model capacity was released.
Studio Projects (Beta)
Use POST /suno/projects for versioned multitrack editing, not /suno/audios. Only process audio the user has rights to use. Send an Idempotency-Key header (1–128 characters) for every action except retrieve; keep the same key and payload when recovering an uncertain request. A new operation needs a new key; reusing a key with a different payload returns 409.
Create, retrieve, and save
POST /suno/projects
{"action":"create","title":"My Studio Project"}
Save data.id, then retrieve with that project id before editing. The returned state is authoritative; modify it rather than inventing track/clip structures. An empty project starts with {"tracks":[],"timing":{"bps":2}}.
POST /suno/projects
{"action":"retrieve","id":"PROJECT_ID"}
POST /suno/projects
{"action":"save","id":"PROJECT_ID","state":{"tracks":[],"timing":{"bps":2}}}
save replaces the complete state, not a patch: preserve unknown fields from retrieve.data.state. It completes synchronously even if its result includes task_id. Only the first save of a new, unversioned project may omit version_id. Afterwards, include the latest version_id in every modification, candidate generation, and render. After save, add_track, commit_candidate, or remove_track, retain the new version from the result. upload, render, generate_track, and replace_section do not change the project version. On HTTP 409, retrieve the current project, reconcile changes, and submit with a new key; do not blindly replay stale edits.
timing.bps is beats per second, must be positive, and defaults to 2 (120 BPM). Clip startBeats, endBeats, and readStartBeats are project beats, not audio-analysis bar positions. Request placement fields start_beats / end_beats are nonnegative project beats; start_seconds / end_seconds select source-audio seconds.
Upload and add audio
POST /suno/projects
{"action":"upload","id":"PROJECT_ID","version_id":"CURRENT_VERSION_ID","audio_url":"https://cdn.example.com/reference.mp3","async":true}
Poll the upload task to success, then read response.data.candidate.audio_id and use it in add_track:
POST /suno/projects
{"action":"add_track","id":"PROJECT_ID","version_id":"CURRENT_VERSION_ID","audio_id":"AUDIO_ID","name":"Backing Vocals"}
Default placement preserves playback speed and converts audio duration to beats using timing.bps.
Generate, choose, and commit candidates
Projects accept only these public model names: chirp-v3-5, chirp-v4, chirp-v4-5, chirp-v4-5-plus, chirp-v5, chirp-v5-5, chirp-v6, chirp-v6-wild, chirp-v6-mini. An unsupported name returns 400 before submission; an accepted name does not guarantee the selected operation succeeds. Never silently switch models.
POST /suno/projects
{"action":"replace_section","id":"PROJECT_ID","version_id":"CURRENT_VERSION_ID","source_audio_id":"AUDIO_ID","start_seconds":35.12,"end_seconds":48.76,"model":"chirp-v6","replacement_lyrics":"New section lyrics","async":true}
replace_section returns two candidates without selecting one. The end must not exceed the actual source duration. prompt supplies source lyrics/context; replacement_lyrics supplies the new interval lyrics. If fixed=true, the range must be shorter than 26 seconds; support is model-dependent and this mode is not verified by the documented Backend run.
For a new track, first add the source audio to the project, then retrieve the complete state and append an empty audio track with a fresh unique id, type:"audio", clips:[], takeLanes:[], mute:false, solo:false, amplitude:1, instrument:{"type":"song"}, and color:"#7251F7". Save the complete state before generating, retaining its new version and the destination track ID. Render that version to success and use response.data.audio_id as the mix reference:
POST /suno/projects
{"action":"generate_track","id":"PROJECT_ID","version_id":"CURRENT_VERSION_ID","source_audio_id":"AUDIO_ID","render_audio_id":"RENDER_AUDIO_ID","model":"chirp-v5","start_seconds":12,"end_seconds":20,"stem_control_tags":"add Piano","tags":"gentle piano, instrumental","instrumental":true,"vocal_gender":"unspecified","async":true}
generate_track always submits two candidates; do not send batch_size. stem_control_tags is descriptive text, not an enum. instrumental defaults to true; use prompt for new-track text/lyrics and vocal_gender (f, m, unspecified, default unspecified) for a preference, not a guaranteed result. Both generation actions accept tags and negative_tags (default empty strings). Source-second ranges are not output-duration guarantees; inspect each candidate's actual duration. Generation does not add candidates to the project.
Poll to success, read response.data.operation_id and the chosen response.data.candidates[].id (do not substitute project IDs or the commit task ID), and let the user choose a candidate before committing:
POST /suno/projects
{"action":"commit_candidate","id":"PROJECT_ID","version_id":"CURRENT_VERSION_ID","operation_id":"OPERATION_ID","candidate_id":"CANDIDATE_ID","track_id":"TRACK_ID","async":true}
- Candidates are bound to the version used to generate them. Save an empty destination track before generating a new-track candidate; creating it afterwards makes the candidate stale.
- Replacement candidates must go back to the original track containing the unique source clip. A full take preserves its placement; an interval replacement preserves the surrounding clips. Do not supply
start_beats/end_beatsfor these replacements. If duration cannot be matched reliably, the request returns 400 and leaves the project unchanged. - New-track candidates use the saved empty track and default to the source clip's start, or an explicit non-overlapping range. Overlap on the destination track returns 400.
- To remove a track, confirm the intended track, then submit the current version and retrieve again to verify the remaining state:
POST /suno/projects
{"action":"remove_track","id":"PROJECT_ID","version_id":"CURRENT_VERSION_ID","track_id":"TRACK_ID"}
Render and recover
POST /suno/projects
{"action":"render","id":"PROJECT_ID","version_id":"CURRENT_VERSION_ID","title":"Final Mix","async":true}
Omit start_beats / end_beats to render from the earliest audible clip start to the latest audible end. Muted tracks/clips are excluded; when solo tracks exist, only those tracks participate. An empty or inaudible project, negative bounds, or an end not greater than the start returns 400. On terminal success, persist the returned render_id, audio_id, audio_url, and duration.
upload, add_track, generate_track, replace_section, commit_candidate, and render always run asynchronously, even with async:false. For every asynchronous Projects operation, poll POST /suno/tasks with {"action":"retrieve","id":"TASK_ID"} every 3–5 seconds. Success requires finished_at and response.success=true; response.success=false indicates failure. Read response.error on failure, including after a callback. HTTP 200 or a task_id is acceptance, not completed audio. This Projects rule is distinct from the /suno/audios clip-state rule below.
A readable candidate URL or successful commit does not prove the project can render. The documented Backend run generated and committed a new track, but rendering with it failed with studio_audio_unavailable; a replacement candidate also failed to commit because its duration matched neither the source nor the selected interval. Keep the original project and candidate for inspection; do not guess placement or automatically repeat paid generation. Before removing an unavailable track, confirm the intended edit with the user, retrieve the current state, remove only that track, then retrieve and render the new version to verify recovery. Projects and candidates are bound to their application and execution environment; do not assume cross-application reuse or automatic failover.
An identical key and payload replay the original result, including failure, without generating again. To explicitly retry, first confirm the original task failed, then use a new key. Never resubmit while the original is processing or uncertain. Keep trace_id for troubleshooting; report studio_state_invalid (400), studio_model_unsupported (400), studio_unavailable / studio_model_unavailable (503), too_many_requests (429), and studio_audio_unavailable / content_rejected (403) rather than changing models or discarding edits.

Audio processing failure recovery
A downloadable audio file does not guarantee its audio_id remains usable for follow-up processing such as covers, extension or stem separation. Keep the original audio and task evidence; do not infer processing availability from the download URL.
For /suno/audios, preserve these public HTTP 500 error codes instead of reporting a generic failure:
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
suno_processing_unavailable | Music processing is unavailable |
suno_model_unavailable | The selected model is unavailable for this operation |
suno_processing_failed | Music processing returned no audio |
Also preserve HTTP 500 api_error with the message the account may have been offline when returned by /suno/audios.
On any of these errors, retain task_id and trace_id when returned and contact support with those IDs, never the API key. If submission is uncertain, query the existing task before considering another request. Do not automatically retry a paid operation or silently switch models; a failed result is not authorization for a new billable request.
