Documentation

Everything you need to start using AudioLayer on your site.

Quick start

01 — Account

Create a free account and add your first site from the dashboard. Enter your RSS feed URL to sync your articles.

02 — Convert

Select the articles you want to convert to audio and press the convert button. Audio is generated in seconds.

03 — Publish

Copy the embed script from the dashboard and paste it into your site. The player will automatically appear on articles with generated audio.

Embed script

Insert this script into your site, preferably before the closing </body> tag.

<script src="audiolayer.it/player.js" data-site="YOUR_SITE_ID" />

The data-site attribute identifies your site. You'll find it in the Embed section of the dashboard. The script only loads the player on pages that have an article with generated audio.

Player customization

From the dashboard you can customize the appearance of the player: primary color, layout (minimal or inline), and light/dark mode. Changes apply in real time to all players already embedded on your site, without changing the embed code.

How the credits system works

1 credit = 1 article converted to audio. Every time you convert an article, one credit is deducted from your plan. If the conversion fails, the credit is automatically refunded.

  • —Free plan: 3 total credits (non-renewing, just to try the service).
  • —Starter plan: 10 credits per month, renew each billing cycle.
  • —Pro plan: 20 credits per month, renew each billing cycle.
  • —You can buy extra credits from the Subscription dashboard, regardless of your plan.

Using your own API keys (BYOK)

Bring your own API keys for OpenAI, ElevenLabs, or Google Cloud TTS. If configured, AudioLayer uses them instead of its own keys — so the cost of voice synthesis is charged directly to your provider account.

You can enter your keys from the Settings section of the dashboard. Keys are encrypted before being saved and are never exposed in plaintext.

Public API

AudioLayer exposes a REST API to integrate the platform into your systems. Generate your API Key from the dashboard (Settings → API Key) and use it in the authentication header.

Authentication

Authorization: Bearer al_...

Available endpoints

GET /api/v1/articles?siteId={id}

POST /api/v1/articles — convert article

API access requires a Starter or Pro plan.

RSS Sync

AudioLayer scans your site's RSS feed and automatically syncs new articles. You can also trigger a manual sync from the dashboard at any time. Synced articles appear in the list ready to be converted to audio.

Limits and credits

Each plan includes a number of credits per month. One credit equals one article converted to audio.

  • —Credits renew every month with the billing cycle.
  • —Unused credits do not roll over to the next month.
  • —When credits run out, you cannot generate new audio until renewal or purchasing extra credits.
  • —Audio already generated remains active and available even without credits.
