diarize

This endpoint allows you to create a new diarization from a remote audio URL.

Diarize a remote file (from a URL)

If you have a media file accessible via a URL, you can provide the URL to the file in the request body with the header Content-Type set to application/json.

Typically you would use this method with a file stored in a cloud storage service such as Amazon S3.

For performance reasons, the input audio must respect the following limits:

  • Maximum duration of 24hs
  • Maximum file size of 1GiB
Make sure the URL to the file is publicly and directly accessible, otherwise our endpoint won’t be able to read the file.
Some cloud storage services provide an indirect URL with a confirmation page to access the file. Make sure you provide a direct link to the file instead.

Number of speakers

By default, pyannoteAI will automatically detect the number of speakers present in the input audio, and there is no limit as to how many speakers can be detected.

It is common to diarize audio where the number of speakers is already known to be 2 (e.g. phone conversations or interviews). If this is your use case, you can add "numSpeakers": 2 to the body of your request. This will detect exactly 2 speakers, which typically results in better overall diarization performance.

Confidence Scores

Confidence scores provide a measure of the certainty of the diarization model in its predictions. These scores range from 0 to 100, with higher values indicating greater confidence.

To include confidence scores in your diarization results, add "confidence": true to your request body. When enabled, the job output will include:

  • The confidence object containing:
    • score, an array with the confidence score for each sample
    • resolution, indicating the time interval in seconds between confidence score samples

For example, if the resolution is 0.02, it means each confidence score represents a 20-millisecond interval in the audio.

Confidence scores can be particularly useful for:

  • Identifying segments where the model is less certain, which may benefit from manual review
  • Filtering results based on a confidence threshold for higher accuracy
  • Analyzing the overall reliability of the diarization for a given audio file

By default, confidence scores are not included in the output. To enable them, you must explicitly set "confidence": true in your request.

Receiving the results (Webhook)

The webhook URL is where the finished diarization segments will be sent. The segments will be sent as a JSON object in the request body.

Make sure the webhook URL is publicly accessible, otherwise our server cannot send the output

Please visit the Webhook documentation for more information on what the webhook sends.
