Overview

Alongside the unified model APIs, we expose compatibility APIs that take each vendor's original parameters exactly as the vendor defines them — nothing renamed, nothing reshaped on the way through.

That makes them the shortest path onto Picsart if you already work with the vendor directly: the request bodies you've already written keep working as they are. You keep their parameter names and defaults, and you get the vendor's full parameter set rather than the subset that is shared across every model.

The cost is that a request is written for one vendor — switching models later means rewriting it, and results come back in the vendor's own shape. When you'd rather write once and change models freely, use the unified API.

Make a request

Call the workflow with ai.apis.run() in TypeScript, or hit /workflows/{workflow}/execute directly — params is passed through untouched either way.

These endpoints are addressed by workflow name rather than model id: the one in this model's header, since one model runs as one workflow. Authentication is unchanged — your Picsart API key as a bearer token (see Authentication).

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

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

// Calls the 'minimax/h3-max/extend-video' workflow directly — params are sent as-is.
const { result, usage } = await ai.apis.run('minimax/h3-max/extend-video', {
  prompt: "The red panda keeps walking along the log, then looks up at a bird.",
  video_url: "https://storage.googleapis.com/falserverless/example_inputs/flux-3-red-panda.mp4"
}, {
  mode: ApiRunMode.SYNC,
});

console.log(result); // workflow-specific output
console.log(usage?.credits); // credits charged

Async (submit & poll)

This model can run longer than the sync limit (~20s). In TypeScript, ai.apis.run(…, { mode: ApiRunMode.ASYNC }) polls for you; over HTTP, submit and poll yourself.

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

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

// mode: ASYNC submits the job and polls under the hood — you just await.
const { result } = await ai.apis.run('minimax/h3-max/extend-video', {
  prompt: "The red panda keeps walking along the log, then looks up at a bird.",
  video_url: "https://storage.googleapis.com/falserverless/example_inputs/flux-3-red-panda.mp4"
}, {
  mode: ApiRunMode.ASYNC,
});

console.log(result);

Parameters

10 parameters, sent inside params. These are the vendor's own names, so they line up one-for-one with the vendor's documentation. Required ones must be supplied; the rest fall back to their defaults.

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultDetails
aspect_ratio
Output aspect ratio. 'auto' follows the source video. Other values crop the video to fit the selected ratio.
stringnoauto
auto21:916:94:31:13:49:16
enable_safety_checker
Moderate the source video and the prompt.
booleannotrue—
duration
Seconds of new footage to add after the source. The actual duration may be slightly longer.
integerno5
5–15
resolution
Output video resolution.
stringno768P
480P768P1080P2K
output
'extended' returns the whole source video followed by the new footage. 'continuation' returns only the generated continuation.
stringnoextended
extendedcontinuation
prompt
What happens next. Describe the continuation, not the source.
stringyes—
1–50000 chars
e.g. The red panda keeps walking along the log, then looks up at a bird.
seed
Seed for the continuation. Random when omitted.
integerno——
video_url
URL of the video to extend. Must be 1.625 s to 60 s long, up to 50 MB, aspect ratio between 0.4 and 2.5.
stringyes—
min 1 chars
e.g. https://storage.googleapis.com/falserverless/example_inputs/flux-3-red-panda.mp4
enable_prompt_expansion
Automatically enhance the prompt using the source video to help keep the continuation consistent. May increase processing time.
booleannotrue—
options
Platform-specific options for safety checks and Picsart Drive integration.
objectno——
└safety_checks
Safety check configuration.
objectno——
└enabled
Enable or disable text safety checks. Defaults to true.
booleannotrue—
└drive
Picsart Drive storage options. When provided, the result will be saved to the user's Drive.
objectno——
└name
Filename to save the result as in Picsart Drive.
stringyes——
└attributes
Additional file metadata attributes.
objectno——
└folder
Destination folder in Picsart Drive.

Response

Over HTTP the output arrives inside a status envelope, at response.result. ai.apis.run() unwraps that envelope for you and resolves to { result, usage } instead. Either way the resultitself is the vendor's own shape.
