For recognize and recognizeWithOffset API methods you have to send a file for recognition. There are three ways to send files to our API:
url parameter, as a string. The parameter can be sent either in request body or query parameters, by GET or POST. This way is highly recommended. If the file is available by URL, it's the easiest way to send it.file parameter, by POST. Recommended to use if the file is not available by an URL (for example, if they are recorded locally or are not on a server).audio parameter, as a string, by POST. Not a recommended way, but supported and can be useful in some applications (usually front-end).wss://api.audd.io/ws/?api_token=[token] and send multiple requests (with files in binary form) without waiting for server's responses/results.
