## Authentication

The SDK and the REST API authenticate with a Picsart API key sent as a bearer token. Create a key in the console at https://picsart.com/api-platform/dashboard/api-keys, keep it in a server-side environment variable, and never ship it in browser code or commit it.

```bash
export PICSART_API_KEY="YOUR_KEY"
```

```http
Authorization: Bearer $PICSART_API_KEY
```

The CLI and the MCP server do not use an API key: `gen-ai login` signs in through the browser once per machine and stores a token locally.

## Interfaces

- **SDK** — `@picsart/ai-sdk` (TypeScript, Node 20+, ESM). Type-safe `ai.generate()` / `ai.generateText()` with per-model parameter types; polls long jobs for you.
- **REST** — the API gateway at `https://api.picsart.com`. Sync `/execute`, or async `/submit` + `/{taskId}/result`.
- **CLI** — `@picsart/gen-ai` (`gen-ai`). Generate from a terminal, quote cost before spending, emit JSON for pipelines.
- **MCP** — the same models inside Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf and other MCP hosts. Setup: https://picsart.com/gen-ai-mcp/

```bash
npm install @picsart/ai-sdk      # SDK
npm install -g @picsart/gen-ai   # CLI (also drives the MCP server)
```

## Unified API (recommended)

One parameter set, used by the SDK and by REST alike: the names below are what `ai.generate('elevenlabs-music-v2', …)` takes, and what goes inside the inner `params` of a REST call. Over REST the model id travels in the body, not the path — one workflow, `v1/models`, fronts the whole catalogue.

### Execution modes

- **Sync** — `POST /workflows/v1/models/execute` returns the result in one call. Only for jobs that finish within ~20 seconds; otherwise it times out.
- **Async** — `POST /workflows/v1/models/submit` returns a task id; poll `GET /workflows/v1/models/{taskId}/result` until `response.status` is `COMPLETED` or `FAILED`. Task statuses: `ACCEPTED` · `IN_PROGRESS` · `COMPLETED` · `FAILED`.
- **SDK** — `ai.generate()` always awaits the finished result; polling is hidden.

Audio jobs routinely outrun the sync limit: use async over REST, or the SDK, which polls for you.

### Input parameters

- **`prompt`** (`string`, _required_): Prompt
  - Max length: 4100 characters
- **`duration`** (`number`, _optional_)
  - Default: `30`
  - Options: `10`, `20`, `30`, `60`, `120`, `180`, `300`, `600`
- **`isInstrumental`** (`boolean`, _optional_): Instrumental Only
  - Default: `false`

### Input JSON Schema

The inner `params` object. Over REST it is wrapped as `{ "params": { "model": "<id>", "params": <this> } }`; the SDK takes it directly.

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "required": [
    "prompt"
  ],
  "properties": {
    "prompt": {
      "type": "string",
      "maxLength": 4100,
      "description": "Prompt"
    },
    "duration": {
      "type": "number",
      "enum": [
        10,
        20,
        30,
        60,
        120,
        180,
        300,
        600
      ],
      "default": 30
    },
    "isInstrumental": {
      "type": "boolean",
      "default": false,
      "description": "Instrumental Only"
    }
  },
  "additionalProperties": false
}
```

### Required parameters example

The required parameters plus the defaults that shape the output, as a REST body:

```json
{
  "params": {
    "model": "elevenlabs-music-v2",
    "params": {
      "prompt": "A serene mountain lake at golden hour, ultra detailed",
      "duration": 30
    }
  }
}
```

### Response

The body is the gateway's status envelope: the output is at `response.result`, next to the task id, its status and the credits charged. Asset models return `url` plus an `items` array of results.

```json
{
  "status": "success",
  "response": {
    "id": "task_abc123",
    "status": "COMPLETED",
    "result": {
      "url": "https://cdn.picsart.com/…/result",
      "items": [
        {
          "url": "https://cdn.picsart.com/…/result"
        }
      ],
      "model": "elevenlabs-music-v2"
    }
  }
}
```

What `ai.generate()` / `ai.generateText()` resolve to (the envelope already unwrapped):

```json
{
  "items": [
    {
      "url": "https://cdn.picsart.com/…/result"
    }
  ],
  "model": "elevenlabs-music-v2"
}
```

### Usage examples

#### TypeScript (SDK)

```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('elevenlabs-music-v2', {
  prompt: "A serene mountain lake at golden hour, ultra detailed",
  duration: 30
});

console.log(result.url); // audio URL
```

# 2. Poll until response.status is COMPLETED
curl 'https://api.picsart.com/workflows/v1/models/task_abc123/result' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer $PICSART_API_KEY'
```

#### CLI

```bash
gen-ai login  # once per machine
gen-ai models info elevenlabs-music-v2  # this model's parameters
gen-ai pricing elevenlabs-music-v2  # quote before spending credits
gen-ai generate -m elevenlabs-music-v2 \

  -d 30
```

## Compatibility API (vendor parameters)

Alongside the unified API, the `elevenlabs/v1/music-generation` workflow takes ElevenLabs's own parameters exactly as the vendor defines them — nothing renamed or reshaped. It is the shortest path onto Picsart for request bodies already written against the vendor; the trade is that a request is written for one vendor, and the result comes back in the vendor's own shape. Same authentication.

- **Endpoint**: `POST https://api.picsart.com/workflows/elevenlabs/v1/music-generation/execute` (sync) · `POST …/submit` + `GET …/{taskId}/result` (async)
- **SDK**: `ai.apis.run('elevenlabs/v1/music-generation', params, { mode })` — params forwarded verbatim

### Example request body

```json
{
  "params": {
    "prompt": "Upbeat lo-fi hip hop for studying, mellow piano and soft drums",
    "music_length_seconds": 30
  }
}
```

### Usage examples

#### TypeScript (`ai.apis.run`)

```typescript
import { createClient, ApiRunMode } from '@picsart/ai-sdk';

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

// Calls the 'elevenlabs/v1/music-generation' workflow directly — params are sent as-is.
const { result, usage } = await ai.apis.run('elevenlabs/v1/music-generation', {
  prompt: "Upbeat lo-fi hip hop for studying, mellow piano and soft drums",
  music_length_seconds: 30
}, {
  mode: ApiRunMode.SYNC,
});

console.log(result); // workflow-specific output
console.log(usage?.credits); // amount charged, in $
```

#### cURL (sync)

```bash
curl -X POST 'https://api.picsart.com/workflows/elevenlabs/v1/music-generation/execute' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer $PICSART_API_KEY' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
  "params": {
    "prompt": "Upbeat lo-fi hip hop for studying, mellow piano and soft drums",
    "music_length_seconds": 30
  }
}'
```

#### cURL (async: submit, then poll)

```bash
# 1. Submit the job
curl -X POST 'https://api.picsart.com/workflows/elevenlabs/v1/music-generation/submit' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer $PICSART_API_KEY' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
  "params": {
    "prompt": "Upbeat lo-fi hip hop for studying, mellow piano and soft drums",
    "music_length_seconds": 30
  }
}'
# → { "status": "success", "response": { "id": "wf_abc123" } }

# 2. Poll until response.status is COMPLETED
curl 'https://api.picsart.com/workflows/elevenlabs/v1/music-generation/wf_abc123/result' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer $PICSART_API_KEY'
```

### Response

Over HTTP the vendor-shaped result arrives inside the gateway envelope at `response.result`:

```json
{
  "status": "success",
  "response": {
    "id": "wf_abc123",
    "status": "COMPLETED",
    "result": {
      "url": "https://cdn.picsart.com/…/result.mp3",
      "mimeType": "audio/mpeg",
      "driveFile": {}
    }
  }
}
```

`ai.apis.run()` unwraps that envelope and resolves to `{ result, usage }`:

```json
{
  "result": {
    "url": "https://cdn.picsart.com/…/result.mp3",
    "mimeType": "audio/mpeg",
    "driveFile": {}
  }
}
```
