After successfully executing a code to generate audio response from the API, cloud textToSpeech response in base64. How do i make this play as an audio in my workflow

Hey @incalculable-judge-70838, while you can add an audio card and use a URL for the audio source, I'm not sure there's a way to auto-play the clip.
i
Thanks for your insight but how do you think i can extract the audio source Url and use for a audio card
Using the response i got in base64 from the textToSpeech API
Meanwhile i will give a shot using the screenshot you just shared and give you a feedback
a
the API response for your TTS API has a field
audioContent
. In that same code block, you can make a new workflow var and fill it with that value like:
Copy code
js
workflow.audioContent = `${endpoint}${response.audioContent}`
Note that the value is a relative URL (it starts with // instead of https://) so that means it needs to be appended onto whatever endpoint it is that you're querying. Check out that service's API documentation, they probably have an example you can copy/paste from.

Im using google cloud textToSpeech can i share the code i executed?
a
sure
i
const textToSpeech = async (text, languageCode = 'en-US') => { const url = 'https://texttospeech.googleapis.com/v1/text:synthesize'; const apiKey = 'API-Key'; // Replace with your actual API key const response = await axios.post( url, { input: { text }, voice: { languageCode }, audioConfig: { audioEncoding: 'MP3' } }, { headers: { 'X-Goog-Api-Key': apiKey } } ); const audioContent = _.get(response, 'data.audioContent'); return audioContent; }; // Usage: const audioContent = await textToSpeech('fine thanks');
I will also share the screenshot of the debugger log
a
huh, looking at the documentation, the returned value is a string of bytes, not a URL.... I don't know how to process that 😅
yeah I have no idea, sorry 😅
i
Oh yeah! That is absolutely correct!
Thanks for your time and insight
If you get any clue please do not hesitate to help or perharps if you have any textToSpeech API i can try out, please let me know
