Requires NINEROUTER_URL (and NINEROUTER_KEY if auth enabled). See https://raw.githubusercontent.com/decolua/9router/refs/heads/master/skills/9router/SKILL.md for setup.
# 1) List models
curl $NINEROUTER_URL/v1/models/tts | jq '.data[].id'
# 2) Per-model metadata (params, voicesUrl if voice-by-id)
curl "$NINEROUTER_URL/v1/models/info?id=el/eleven_multilingual_v2"
# 3) List voices (elevenlabs, edge-tts, deepgram, inworld, local-device). Optional ?lang=vi
curl "$NINEROUTER_URL/v1/audio/voices?provider=edge-tts&lang=vi" | jq '.data[].model'
model field in /v1/audio/speech = voice ID directly (e.g. edge-tts/vi-VN-HoaiMyNeural, el/<voice_id>, or openai/tts-1 model+default voice).
POST $NINEROUTER_URL/v1/audio/speech
| Field | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
model | yes | voice ID from /v1/models/tts |
input | yes | text to speak |
Query ?response_format=mp3 (default, raw bytes) or ?response_format=json ({audio: base64, format}).
Save MP3:
curl -X POST "$NINEROUTER_URL/v1/audio/speech" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $NINEROUTER_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"model":"openai/tts-1","input":"Hello world"}' \
--output speech.mp3
JS (save file):
import { writeFile } from "node:fs/promises";
const r = await fetch(`${process.env.NINEROUTER_URL}/v1/audio/speech`, {
method: "POST",
headers: { "Authorization": `Bearer ${process.env.NINEROUTER_KEY}`, "Content-Type": "application/json" },
body: JSON.stringify({ model: "el/eleven_multilingual_v2", input: "Xin chào" }),
});
await writeFile("speech.mp3", Buffer.from(await r.arrayBuffer()));
Default → raw audio bytes (Content-Type audio/mp3).
?response_format=json:
{ "audio": "SUQzBAAAA...", "format": "mp3" }
