  • thumbnail_url is a preview image for your style picker.

Every field is in the API reference.

Build a style picker

  • Show the categories that fit your vendors, and let them choose by name and thumbnail.
  • Refresh the list once a day. We add styles and categories over time, so accept ids you haven't seen before.
  • Hide a style once its retires_at has passed: after that, it gets 400 style_not_available.
  • To translate names, key your translations by id.

Generations

Create a generation, follow it, and download the result.

Webhooks

Get a signed event on your server when a generation finishes.
