Connect in three steps

Get a keyCreate a key in the dashboard after you confirm your email. One key opens every model.
Check the pricePOST /v1/price shows the cost of a run in advance, without charging you.
Run a task and collect the resultPOST /v1/tasks starts a task, GET /v1/tasks/{id} shows its status and files.

Ready-to-use code

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your key. The code starts a task and waits for the result. In cURL, repeat the second request with the id from the first response instead of TASK_ID until status becomes succeeded.
