The AnyMake API.

Ask for an outcome, or for one picture or clip. AnyMake picks the models, runs the steps and gives you the files.

Base and auth

Every route below is under https://anymake.dev/v1. Send Authorization: Bearer anymake_sk_… with each call. To get a key, sign in and open Account, then API keys. The key is shown once. JSON in, JSON out.

An error is { "error": "<message>" } with the HTTP status:

Retries: send Idempotency-Key: <any unique string> (1 to 128 printable ASCII characters) with POST /v1/images, POST /v1/images/edit, POST /v1/videos, POST /v1/compare, POST /v1/templates/:slug/runs or POST /v1/make. If the connection drops, send the same request with the same key: you get what the first request made, as it is now, and nothing is made or charged twice. A key is kept for 24 hours and belongs to your account; every client that uses the operator token shares one set of keys. Over MCP, the same is idempotency_key.

The same tools answer over MCP at POST /mcp: see For agents. What each call costs: Pricing.

Make an outcome

A Make runs a recipe's steps in order and stops for you to pick where the recipe asks. Price it first, then start it, then poll it.

The request body, for the estimate and the Make:

The recipes:

• product-ad: Hero shots of your product from one photo. You pick the best, and it becomes a five-second clip. Inputs: product_image.
• launch-kit: From a description of your product, and a screenshot and logo if you have them: a creative brief, a hero image with your headline, a square and a vertical image, and a short vertical clip, all in one style. Inputs: screenshot (optional), logo (optional).
• product-photo: Studio photographs of your product from one photo: a plain background, soft shadows, sharp detail, ready for a shop page. Inputs: product_image.
• character: From a drawing or photo of your character: a scene with the character in it. You pick the best, and it becomes a five-second clip. Inputs: character_image.
• thumbnail: A bold thumbnail with large, readable words, from your topic and the title to show. Inputs: none.

Request, POST /v1/make:

{
  "recipe": "product-ad",
  "inputs": {
    "product_image": "data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAgAAAAIAAAAAAAAAAAA"
  },
  "quality_mode": "balanced",
  "aspect_ratio": "9:16"
}

Response, GET /v1/makes/:id while it waits for your pick (trimmed):

A Make goes queued, generating, evaluating (waiting on a pick), generating, then completed; or partially_completed, failed or cancelled. The step with status: "needs_pick" names in from the step whose assets are the candidates. A pick left for 24 hours cancels the Make.

One picture or clip

POST /v1/images, /v1/compare and /v1/estimate:

POST /v1/images/edit:

POST /v1/videos. A media reference is an asset id, an https URL or a data: URL:

Aliases name what you want, not a model. best and video-best choose the model for each request; the others stay put. The models behind them change: GET /v1/models lists what runs today.

Results

Every picture and clip is a job, and its files are assets.

An asset:

Everything else

Limits and money

• Prompts: 1 to 4000 characters. A Make's goal: 600.
• Uploads: 8 MB a file, 24 MB a request. A Make takes at most 8 inputs.
• Waiting: a picture request with wait answers within 60 s, else returns the job to poll. GET /v1/makes/:id?wait= waits at most 50 s.
• Lists: at most 100 a page.
• Money: every job is paid from your credits before a provider is called, and refunded when it fails. A Make reserves its whole plan and gives back what it did not use. One credit is one cent.
