## Price and freshness

A call takes 1 request. Free requests are spent first, then your balance. The [pricing](https://storiesfly.com/developers/pricing) page has the rates.

Answers are kept for up to 24 hours. Asking again inside that time returns the same answer and takes 1 request again.

## Errors

A failed call answers with an HTTP status and a body `{error, code}`. These are the codes this endpoint gives. [Errors and what is charged](https://storiesfly.com/developers/docs#errors) covers all of them.

| Status | Code | When |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `400` | `bad_request` | A parameter is missing or wrong. `fields` lists the names. Free. |
| `401` | `unauthorized` | The `X-Api-Key` header is missing or the key is wrong. Free. |
| `402` | `credits_exhausted` | The free requests and the balance are used up. Top up in the [dashboard](https://storiesfly.com/developers/dashboard). Free. |
| `403` | `telegram_required` | The account behind the key is not linked to Telegram. The answer has a `link_url` to do it. Free. |

## Questions about this endpoint

### Where do I get the id?

From a result of [search/music](https://storiesfly.com/developers/docs/search-music), or from `track` in [post/music](https://storiesfly.com/developers/docs/post-music).

### Does the audio link stay valid?

No. `audio_url` points to Instagram's servers and stops working after some time. It is `null` when Instagram gives no link.

### What if the id does not exist?

The call answers `not_found`, which is charged like an answer.
