Audio analysis API for video automation

Turn an audio URL into beat-synced timing data.

BeatSync API analyzes short audio files and returns BPM, beat timestamps, downbeats, cut points, and segments that are ready for short-form video pipelines.

What it returns

Rhythm features built for timeline decisions.

BPM and duration

Use tempo and analyzed duration to classify tracks, estimate pacing, and select editing presets.

Beat timestamps

Frame cuts, captions, transitions, and motion effects around timestamped beat positions.

Cut-ready timing data

Use scored cut points and segments as practical edit hints instead of raw audio features only.

API shape

One endpoint. JSON in, JSON out.

Send a public audio_url through RapidAPI, or upload an audio file with multipart/form-data. Direct uploads are capped at 50 MB and stored in R2 before analysis.
