Everything you do on the web can be done from code with a single API key. Every model is an endpoint with the same inputs as its form.

  1. Copy your API key from the API Key card in Account. Treat it like a password: it spends your credits.
  2. Send it with every request in the Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY header.
  3. Start a generation with POST /api/v1/model/{owner}/{name}. The owner/name is the one on the model page.
  4. Check its status with GET /api/v1/prediction/{prediction_id} until it is completed, failed or canceled.

All the details are in the API documentation.
