Audio Upload and Cover Callbacks

System will call this callback when audio generation is complete.When you submit an audio upload and cover task to the Suno API, you can use the callBackUrl parameter to set a callback URL. The system will automatically push the results to your specified address when the task is completed.

Callback Mechanism Overview #

The callback mechanism eliminates the need to poll the API for task status. The system will proactively push task completion results to your server.

Webhook Security

To ensure the authenticity and integrity of callback requests, we strongly recommend implementing webhook signature verification. See our Webhook Verification Guide for detailed implementation steps.

Callback Timing #

The system will send callback notifications in the following situations:

Text generation completed (callbackType: "text")

First audio track generation completed (callbackType: "first")

All audio tracks generation completed (callbackType: "complete")

Audio generation task failed

Errors occurred during task processing

Callback Method #

HTTP Method: POST

Content Type: application/json

Timeout Setting: 15 seconds

Callback Request Format #

When the task progresses or completes, the system will send a POST request to your callBackUrl in the following format:

Complete Success Callback

First Track Complete Callback

Text Generation Complete Callback

Failure Callback

const express = require('express');
const fs = require('fs');
const https = require('https');
const app = express();

app.use(express.json());

app.post('/suno-cover-callback', (req, res) => {
  const { code, msg, data } = req.body;

  console.log('Received Suno audio cover callback:', {
    taskId: data.task_id,
    callbackType: data.callbackType,
    status: code,
    message: msg
  });

  if (code === 200) {
    // Task progressed or completed successfully
    const { callbackType, task_id, data: tracks } = data;

    console.log(`Callback type: ${callbackType}`);
    console.log(`Number of tracks: ${tracks.length}`);

    switch (callbackType) {

Best Practices #

Callback URL Configuration Recommendations

Use HTTPS: Ensure your callback URL uses HTTPS protocol for secure data transmission

Verify Source: Verify the legitimacy of the request source in callback processing

Idempotent Processing: The same task_id may receive multiple callbacks, ensure processing logic is idempotent

Quick Response: Callback processing should return a 200 status code as quickly as possible to avoid timeout

Asynchronous Processing: Complex business logic should be processed asynchronously to avoid blocking callback response

Handle Multiple Callbacks: Be prepared to receive text, first, and complete callbacks for the same task

Download Both Versions: Consider downloading both generated and source files for comparison

Important Reminders

Callback URL must be a publicly accessible address

Server must respond within 15 seconds, otherwise it will be considered a timeout

If 3 consecutive retries fail, the system will stop sending callbacks

You may receive multiple callbacks for the same task (text → first → complete)

Please ensure the stability of callback processing logic to avoid callback failures due to exceptions

Handle copyright and conflict errors appropriately (codes 400, 413)

Credit refunds are automatic for certain server errors (code 531)

Be aware of both generated and source file URLs for complete asset management

Troubleshooting #

If you do not receive callback notifications, please check the following:Network Connection Issues

Confirm that the callback URL is accessible from the public network

Check firewall settings to ensure inbound requests are not blocked

Verify that domain name resolution is correct

Server Response Issues

Ensure the server returns HTTP 200 status code within 15 seconds

Check server logs for error messages

Verify that the interface path and HTTP method are correct

Content Format Issues

Confirm that the received POST request body is in JSON format

Check that Content-Type is application/json

Verify that JSON parsing is correct

Audio Processing Issues

Confirm that audio URLs are accessible

Check audio download permissions and network connections

Verify audio save paths and permissions

Handle both regular and streaming audio URLs appropriately

Process multiple tracks in the same callback

Download both generated and source audio files as needed

Review error messages for copyright violations (code 400)

Check for content conflicts with existing works (code 413)

Ensure compliance with platform content policies

Adjust uploaded audio or prompts if flagged

Verify uploaded audio originality

Rate Limiting Issues

Handle timeout errors gracefully (code 408)

Implement appropriate retry logic with backoff

Monitor API usage to avoid rate limits

Consider upgrading service plan if needed

File Management Issues

Organize downloaded files by type (generated vs source)

Implement proper file naming conventions

Handle potential duplicate downloads gracefully

Monitor disk space for large audio files

Alternative Solution #

If you cannot use the callback mechanism, you can also use polling:

Poll Query Results

Use the get music details endpoint to regularly query task status. We recommend querying every 30 seconds.
