Get started

Quickstart

Create a client once, then call any model. Media models return URLs; text models return strings.

Generate an image

TypeScript

import { createClient } from '@picsart/ai-sdk';

const ai = createClient({
  apiKey: process.env.PICSART_API_KEY,
  apiUrl: 'https://api.picsart.com',
});

const result = await ai.generate('flux-2-pro', {
  prompt: 'A serene mountain lake at golden hour, ultra detailed',
  aspectRatio: '16:9',
});

console.log(result.url);        // primary image URL
console.log(result.items);      // all result items

Generate text

LLM/text models use generateText(), which returns the generated text plus the raw response.

TypeScript

const { text } = await ai.generateText('claude-opus-4-8', {
  prompt: 'Summarize the theory of relativity in two sentences.',
});

console.log(text);

Handle long-running jobs

generate() waits for the result. For slower media (video), use submit() + result() so you control polling.

TypeScript

// For long-running jobs (video), submit and poll instead of blocking:
const generationId = await ai.submit('kling-v3', {
  prompt: 'A drone shot flying over a canyon at sunrise',
  duration: 5,
});

const result = await ai.result('kling-v3', generationId);
console.log(result.url); // video URL

Tip

Every model page shows copy-pasteable SDK and API examples using that model's exact parameters.
