When should I use rails new my_app --api ? or it's ok to use rails new as usual even if I'm building an API

Hi a friend of mine wants me to make an app where she can uploads her podcasts / songs and filter it through some categories, I would like to know if it's better to use active storage and some JS library like wavesurfer or upload the audios on a plataform like anchor or transcriptor and list it ( if hosting the audios on a plataform would it be possible to list it on rails or I would have to get the embed player and pasting it on my rails app ) thanks in advance
