## Your first API call

Separate a track into vocals and instrumental in a single request:

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST "https://api.audioshake.ai/tasks" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-api-key: your_api_key" \
  -d '{
    "url": "https://demos.audioshake.ai/demo-assets/shakeitup.mp3",
    "targets": [
      { "model": "vocals", "formats": ["wav"] },
      { "model": "instrumental", "formats": ["wav"] }
    ]
  }'
```
