Install the SDK
TypeScript targets Node 20+ and ships with types; Python needs 3.10+ and is async. Over REST there is nothing to install: call https://api.picsart.com from any HTTP client.
npm install @picsart/ai-sdkpip install picsart-ai-sdkAuthenticate
Send your Picsart API key as a bearer token. The SDK does it for you once the client is created.
import { createClient } from '@picsart/ai-sdk';
const ai = createClient({
apiKey: process.env.PICSART_API_KEY, // sent as: Authorization: Bearer <key>
apiUrl: 'https://api.picsart.com',
});import os
from picsart_ai_sdk import create_client
ai = create_client(
api_key=os.environ["PICSART_API_KEY"], # sent as: Authorization: Bearer <key>
api_url="https://api.picsart.com",
)Authorization: Bearer <PICSART_API_KEY>Make a request
Call the model by its id. Over REST, one endpoint serves every model: POST /workflows/v1/models/execute with the model id and its input in the body. The outer params is the envelope every workflow takes; the inner one is this model's input, with the same names generate() takes.
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('picsart-qwen-image-edit', {
imageUrls: [
"https://cdn.example.com/input.jpg"
],
prompt: "A serene mountain lake at golden hour, ultra detailed"
});

}'Parameters
3 parameters, the same for the SDK and for the inner params over REST. Required ones must be supplied; the rest fall back to their defaults.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Details |
|---|---|---|---|---|
imageUrlsInput images, as URLs: the image to edit, or references for subject, style or composition. | file (image[]) | yes | — | — |
promptWhat to make, in plain language: the subject, style and composition. With an input image or video, what to change. | text | yes | — | — |
negativePromptWhat to keep out of the result, such as text, watermarks or blur. | text | no | — | — |
Response
generate() resolves once the job completes. One or more image URLs. Over REST the output is at response.result, inside the gateway's status envelope with the task id, its status and the amount charged.

}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 Python, 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).
import { createClient, ApiRunMode } from '@picsart/ai-sdk';
const ai = createClient({
apiKey: process.env.PICSART_API_KEY,
apiUrl: 'https://api.picsart.com',
});
// Calls the 'pcp/v1/qwen-image-edit' workflow directly — params are sent as-is.
const { result, usage } = await ai.apis.run('pcp/v1/qwen-image-edit', {
image: "your value here",
prompt: "A serene mountain lake at golden hour, ultra detailed"
}, {
mode: ApiRunMode.SYNC,

}'Parameters
13 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.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Details |
|---|---|---|---|---|
imageURL of the input image, or an array of URLs. The first image is the main reference; additional images can be referenced as Picture 1, Picture 2, etc. in the prompt. | string | array | yes | — | — |
promptPositive prompt describing what should appear in the output image. | string | no | — | — |
system_promptSystem prompt steering the editing behavior. | string | no | — | — |
negative_promptNegative prompt describing what should NOT appear in the output image. | string | no | — | — |
strengthDenoising strength of the image-to-image pipeline. Larger values produce more creative results with possibly less fidelity. | number | no | — | — |
grag_scaleGrag scale for fine-grained control over editing strength. 1 disables the grag scale; larger values preserve more fidelity and reduce editing. | number | no | — | — |
drop_cond_tokens_probProbability of dropping conditioning tokens. 0 means no tokens are dropped. | number | no | — | — |
seedRandom seed for reproducibility. Use -1 to generate a random seed on each call. | number | no | — | — |
output_formatOutput image format. If omitted, the format is preserved from the input image. | string | no | — | JPEGPNGHEICWEBP |
optionsOptions controlling safety checks and drive integration. | object | no | — | — |
└ safety_checksSafety check settings | object | no | — | — |
└ enabledWhether to run content moderation. Defaults to true. | boolean | no | — | — |
└ driveSave result to Picsart Drive | object | no | — | — |
└ nameFile name in Picsart Drive | string | yes | — | — |
└ attributesCustom attributes to attach to the file | object | no | — | — |
└ folderTarget folder in Picsart Drive | object | no | — | — |
└ inputs_transformationInput transformation settings | object | no | — | — |
└ downscale_oversized_imagesWhether to downscale oversized input images. Defaults to false. | boolean | no | — | — |
num_inference_stepsNumber of inference steps. If omitted, the value configured for the model is used, else 4. | number | no | — | — |
guidance_scaleGuidance scale for generation. If omitted, the value configured for the model is used, else 1. | number | no | — | — |
max_pixelsMaximum pixels for processing. If omitted, the vendor default is used. | number | no | — | — |
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 result itself is the vendor's own shape.
