# webaudio-examples



Code examples that accompany the [MDN Web Audio documentation](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Audio_API).



## Serving the examples



To preview the examples, clone the repository and navigate to the example you want to view.

For example, if you have Python installed, you can use the following commands to serve the `audio-analyser` example:



```bash

cd audio-analyser

python3 -m http.server

```



> [!NOTE]

> If you're using the built-in Python HTTP server, be sure to use at least [Python version `3.10.12`](https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-31012/).



Then navigate to `http://localhost:8000` in your browser.



For more information on serving files locally using different languages or technologies, see [Running a simple local HTTP server](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Common_questions/Tools_and_setup/set_up_a_local_testing_server#running_a_simple_local_http_server).
