WebSocket connection guide

Updated at:

Access the Qwen-Audio-TTS real-time speech synthesis service through a WebSocket connection. Covers service endpoints, request headers, and the client-server interaction workflow.

Service endpoints

The WebSocket API uses the wss:// protocol. The endpoints are as follows:

China (Beijing)

wss://{WorkspaceId}.cn-beijing.maas.aliyuncs.com/api-ws/v1/inference

Replace {WorkspaceId} with your actual workspace ID.

Singapore

wss://{WorkspaceId}.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/api-ws/v1/inference

Replace {WorkspaceId} with your actual workspace ID.

ImportantAlibaba Cloud Model Studio has released workspace-specific domains for the China (Beijing) and Singapore regions. The new dedicated domains deliver superior performance and higher stability for inference requests. We recommend migrating to the new domains:

  • China (Beijing): from dashscope.aliyuncs.com to {WorkspaceId}.cn-beijing.maas.aliyuncs.com
  • Singapore: from dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com to {WorkspaceId}.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com

Request headers

Include the following headers in the request:

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
AuthorizationstringYesAuthentication token in the format Bearer <your_api_key>. Replace <your_api_key> with your actual API key.
user-agentstringNoClient identifier for request tracking.
X-DashScope-WorkSpacestringNoAlibaba Cloud Model Studio workspace ID.
X-DashScope-DataInspectionstringNoWhether to enable data compliance inspection. By default, this parameter is not passed or is set to enable. Do not enable it unless necessary.

ImportantAuthorization is verified during the WebSocket handshake. If the API key is invalid or missing, the handshake fails with an HTTP 401/403 error.

Interaction workflow

image

For details about client-side and server-side events, see Client events and Server-side events.

Client-server interaction sequence:

  1. Establish a connection: Create a WebSocket connection to the server.

  2. Start a task: Send a run-task event.

  3. Wait for confirmation: The client receives a task-started event from the server, indicating the task has started successfully and subsequent steps can proceed.

  4. Send text for synthesis:

    Send one or more continue-task events with the text to synthesize, in sequence. The server returns a result-generated event with an audio stream after each complete sentence. For text length limits, see the text field in the continue-task event.

    NoteSend multiple continue-task events with text segments in order. After receiving the text segments, the server automatically splits them into sentences:

    • Complete sentences are synthesized immediately, and the client receives the audio returned by the server.
    • Incomplete sentences are buffered until complete; the server returns no audio while a sentence is incomplete.

    A finish-task event forces synthesis of all buffered content.

  5. Receive audio: Read the audio stream from the binary channel.

  6. End the task:

    After sending all text, send a finish-task event and continue receiving audio. This step is mandatory — skipping it may produce incomplete audio.

  7. Receive task completion:

    A task-finished event from the server confirms the task is complete.

  8. Close the connection: Disconnect the WebSocket.

To improve resource utilization, reuse the WebSocket connection across tasks instead of creating a new one for each.

ImportantAll events in a synthesis task (run-task, continue-task, finish-task) must share the same task_id. Generate a new task_id (such as a UUID) for each task. Mismatched values cause audio corruption or task failure.

Code examples

These examples use generic WebSocket libraries to send protocol events directly, with qwen-audio-3.1-tts-flash and the longanhuan_v3.1 voice. Obtain an API key, set the DASHSCOPE_API_KEY environment variable, and replace {WorkspaceId} with the workspace ID for the region. When switching regions, change both the endpoint and API key.

Java

We recommend using the Java DashScope SDK for development. See Qwen-Audio-TTS Java SDK.

The following is a Java WebSocket direct connection example. Import these dependencies before running:

  • Java-WebSocket
  • jackson-databind
