Create Dubbing Job | Sarvam API Docs

Creative Agents - Dubbing

Create a dubbing job that translates a source video or audio file into one or more Indian languages, with optional voice cloning, watermark control, and translation-style (register) control.

Base URL: https://api.sarvam.ai/dubbing. Auth: send your key in the api-subscription-key header, not Authorization: Bearer.

This call only creates the job. It does not accept the media file. The response returns data.job_id and a short-lived signed data.upload_url. After that:

PUT the raw media bytes to upload_url with headers Content-Type: <mime> (e.g. video/mp4) and x-ms-blob-type: BlockBlob.
POST /jobs/{job_id}/start to begin the pipeline.

A single job dubs into every language in target_langs, so you don’t need a separate job per language.

## Creative Agents - Dubbing Create a dubbing job that translates a source video or audio file into one or more Indian languages, with optional voice cloning, watermark control, and translation-style (register) control. **Base URL:** `https://api.sarvam.ai/dubbing`. **Auth:** send your key in the `api-subscription-key` header, not `Authorization: Bearer`. This call only creates the job. It does not accept the media file. The response returns `data.job_id` and a short-lived signed `data.upload_url`. After that: 1. `PUT` the raw media bytes to `upload_url` with headers `Content-Type: <mime>` (e.g. `video/mp4`) and `x-ms-blob-type: BlockBlob`. 2. `POST /jobs/{job_id}/start` to begin the pipeline. A single job dubs into every language in `target_langs`, so you don't need a separate job per language.

API Key authentication via header

Request

This endpoint expects an object.

src_langenumRequired

Source language of the input media (BCP-47).

target_langslist of enumsRequired

One or more target languages to dub into. A single job dubs into all of them.

export_optionslist of enumsOptional

Which formats to auto-produce per target language. When provided, only the listed formats are auto-exported. When omitted, the dubbed video, the isolated audio track, and an MP3 of that track are produced — but never SRT, which must be requested explicitly. Audio-only sources cannot produce a video, so video resolves to audio for them.

voice_cloningbooleanOptionalDefaults to true

Clone the original speaker’s voice. Set false to use a preset voice_id instead.

voice_idstring or nullOptional

Preset (prebuilt) voice to use when voice_cloning is false. Single speaker only.

pace_presetenum or nullOptional

Speech pace preset, used when voice_cloning is false.

num_speakersinteger or nullOptionalDefaults to 1

Number of speakers in the source audio.

disable_watermarkbooleanOptionalDefaults to false

Set true for a watermark-free export.

registerenum or nullOptional

Translation-style / tone register.

editor_flowbooleanOptionalDefaults to false

Keep false for API integrations so exports fire automatically once TTS finishes. When true, auto-export is suppressed: the pipeline completes but export-status stays empty until exports are triggered manually in Creator Studio. Billing: true charges the editor-flow rate (₹80/min on Starter — double the default API rate). See Pricing for plan-specific rates.

job_namestring or nullOptional

Human-readable label to identify the job later. Recommended (e.g. the source file’s name).

Response

Successful Response

statusstring

Response status, e.g. success.
