# Overview The [**AI Song Detector**](https://pex.com/ai-song-detector/) identifies whether an **audio file contains AI-generated music**. It provides a simple API for submitting an audio file and receiving a classification result with accompanying details. The detector is optimized for **music**, specifically individual songs, and produces one prediction per file. Submitted audio files, whether uploaded directly or retrieved from a provided URL, are processed and then discarded. They are not stored on our servers nor used for training. See the [Changelog](/ai-song-detector/changelog.md) for notable updates to the Pex AI Song Detector. *** ### What the API Does * Analyzes an audio file, either uploaded directly or fetched from a provided URL. * Determines whether the musical content is AI-generated. * Returns a JSON response containing: * classification result - is it AI-generated or not, * classification confidence score, * the detected AI generation platform (e.g., Suno, Udio), if known and detected with high enough confidence, * additional details. The API is designed for straightforward integration into existing media workflows and high-volume use cases. It can process millions of songs per day, making it suitable for large-scale catalog scanning. #### AI Generation Platform Detection When the detector classifies a file as AI-generated, it may also identify the AI generation platform used to create the music (such as Suno, Udio, and others). This information is returned only when the detector reaches a sufficiently high confidence for platform attribution. If platform confidence is not high enough, the response will still indicate that the content is AI-generated, but the platform field will be empty. *** ### Expected Input The detector is designed to analyze music, not generic audio. Files **should** contain: * A single musical track * Minimal non-music content (speech, silence, etc.) Files **shouldn't** contain: * UGC compilations * Voiceovers * DJ mixes * Mashups * Audio dominated by silence or speech *** ### Supported Audio Formats & Limits * **Supported formats**: MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, M4A/MP4, OGG, WEBM, and other common audio formats * **Minimum duration**: 30 seconds * **Maximum duration**: 15 minutes * **Max file size**: 100 MB * Stereo, mono, and variable bitrates are supported Files outside these limits will return statuses such as `too_short`, `too_long`, or `not_enough_music`. *** ### Input Methods The API supports two equivalent ways of providing audio for analysis: * **Direct file upload** as part of the request. * Providing a **publicly accessible URL** from which the API will retrieve the audio file. Both methods are subject to the same format, duration, and size limits, and both produce identical classification results. *** ### How the API Works 1. **Authenticate** using OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials 2. **Submit** an audio file, either by uploading it directly or by providing a URL to the file 3. **Receive** the classification result in a JSON response Each request accepts one file and produces one output. Batch submission is not supported. *** ### Next Steps Continue to [API Documentation](/ai-song-detector/api-documentation.md) for: * Authentication flow * Detector endpoint details * Response structure * Error handling * Example implementations --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.pex.com/ai-song-detector/overview.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
