SDK API Advanced Usage Pricing

Install the SDK

The SDK targets Node 20+ and ships with TypeScript types.

npm

npm install @picsart/ai-sdk

Authenticate

Create a client once with your API key — it's sent as a bearer token on every request.

TypeScript

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',
});

Run the model

Call the model with its parameters. This example uses the required ones.

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('runway-avatar-video', {
  prompt: "A serene mountain lake at golden hour, ultra detailed"
});

console.log(result.url); // video URL

Parameters

4 parameters. Required ones must be supplied; the rest fall back to their defaults. The API takes these same names over HTTP.

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Details
`style`	`enum`	no	`game-character`	game-character, music-superstar, game-character-man, cat-character, influencer, tennis-coach, human-resource, fashion-designer, cooking-teacher
`voiceId` Voice	`catalog`	no	`victoria`	options from runway/v1/catalog/voices
`prompt` Prompt	`text`	no	`—`	max 1500 chars · e.g. "Write the script your avatar will speak..."
`audioUrl` Audio Track	`file (audio)`	no	`—`	—

Output

generate() resolves once the job completes. A video URL.
