Example prompt: I want to place an ad on song.money to promote my brand through their AI music videos — can you start a quote request so I can see what it costs to reach audiences on TikTok Shorts and YouTube Reels?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you want to programmatically initiate an advertising campaign on the song.money platform, specifically to reach audiences via AI-generated music videos distributed to TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels. It is distinct from song generation or music licensing endpoints — this is specifically for ad placement quoting workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'input' object in request body returns validation error
- Invalid 'method' value (not POST) causes schema rejection
- Unsupported 'bodyType' value outside enum causes rejection
- Insufficient USDC balance or payment failure blocks request
- Malformed body object may result in server-side processing error

## How this service works

Generate whole songs and AI music videos, turn your catalog into audio-reactive videos, auto-post to TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels, and license your music to other creators — keeping 85%.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing a new ad ID (e.g. ad_4b1e...), the current status ('quoting'), and a next-step instruction directing the caller to POST to /ads/{id}/quote to select a song and continue the ad placement flow.
