PopNow API docs

Generate images, video and audio from your own code

One API key, one REST endpoint, the same models and credits as popnow.ai. Send a task, get the file back.

Your first image in three steps

  1. Create a key

    Sign in at popnow.ai and create a key in the API console. It starts with sk-popnow- and uses the credits already in your account.

  2. Send one request

    Paste this into a terminal. It asks Z-Image for one image, which costs 2 credits ($0.02), and waits up to 60 seconds for the result.

    POST /api/v1/jobs/createTask?wait=60
    export POPNOW_API_KEY="sk-popnow-..."   # your key from the API console

curl -X POST "https://api.popnow.ai/api/v1/jobs/createTask?wait=60" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $POPNOW_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -d '{
  "model": "alibaba/z-image-turbo/text-to-image",
  "input": {
    "prompt": "A small red fox curled up in a teacup, soft morning light, studio photo"
  }
}'

  3. Open the result

    The response contains a signed link to the image in output.assets[0].url. Longer jobs such as video return a taskId instead; read it later with recordInfo or get a webhook.
