Migrate From ElevenLabs

Braiv’s Text to Speech API is designed to make migration from ElevenLabs straightforward for server-side integrations.

What changes

ElevenLabs	Braiv
https://api.elevenlabs.io/v1	https://api.braiv.co/v1
ElevenLabs API key	Braiv API key
ElevenLabs voice_id	Braiv voice clone id (VoiceClones doc id)
POST /v1/voices/add (sync Instant Voice Clone)	Same path; Braiv returns {voice_id} immediately and extracts async. Poll GET /v1/voices/{voice_id} until status is ready.
ElevenLabs model id	braiv-speech-v1

JavaScript SDK example

If your ElevenLabs client supports a custom baseUrl, point it at Braiv:

import { ElevenLabsClient } from '@elevenlabs/elevenlabs-js';

const client = new ElevenLabsClient({
  apiKey: process.env.BRAIV_API_KEY,
  baseUrl: 'https://api.braiv.co/v1',
});

const audio = await client.textToSpeech.convert('YOUR_VOICE_ID', {
  text: 'The first move is what sets everything in motion.',
  modelId: 'braiv-speech-v1',
});

Direct HTTP example

curl -X POST "https://api.braiv.co/v1/text-to-speech/YOUR_VOICE_ID" \
  -H "xi-api-key: $BRAIV_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --output speech.wav \
  --data '{"text":"Hello from Braiv.","model_id":"braiv-speech-v1"}'

Compatibility notes

• Braiv currently returns WAV audio during the beta.
• Instant Voice Clone is available at POST /v1/voices/add (multipart files or JSON sample_url). Do not speak until GET /v1/voices/{voice_id} reports status: ready.
• GET /v1/voices lists every known clone in the key/OAuth library (including processing and failed). Add ?status=ready for usable-only.
• Brand Voices (GET /v1/brand-voices) are thumbnail branding, not speaker clones.
• Plan eligibility is checked when keys are generated and whenever requests are made.
