Overviewing the API

You're on your way to using Scenario's API to build awesome stuff.

🚧The API is still in active development. Get ready for a top-notch developer experience as we strive to deliver the best API for you! However, do keep in mind that, there might be some inevitable breaking as we continue to make changes over the coming months. We kindly request that you take this into consideration while integrating the API into your esteemed products. Please take care of deprecation notices for example 🤗

Pre-requisites

You can provision an API key and API secret yourself from the Scenario web application:


Go to your workspace or Create a new one:
"Create Workspace"

If necessary, complete the workspace form
Go to "Workspace Settings" and Click + Add API Key:
"Add API Key"

Follow Instructions

A bit of vocabulary

You will find many answers about Scenario's concepts and terms in our Knowledge Center. Here are some terms specific to the API:

Model

A model is a generator in the web app. See our dedicated article about generators to learn more. To create a model, you must upload training images and specify some parameters. Then, our cloud platform will handle the training.

Inference

An inference is a request to generate images from a generator. You can specify parameters and generate multiple images in a single request.

Image

An image is one of the inference results, similar to the web app.

Authentication

The API uses Basic authentication, all your requests must have the Authorization header set to Basic <credentials> where credentials is the Base64 encoding of your API key and API secret joined by a single colon : .

Example:

For instance, if your API key is hello and your API secret world, then you must compute the Base64 encoding for hello:world which is aGVsbG86d29ybGQ= .
Thus, all your requests must include the following header:
Authorization: Basic aGVsbG86d29ybGQ=
