Flat Lay API

From any garment photo to a styled flat-lay product shot, laid out and lit like a catalogue page.

POST/v1/generateworkflow: image_to_flat_lay-v1

One endpoint serves every workflow — this page documents image_to_flat_lay-v1, the current version. Credits are debited at submission (1 cr standard, 3 cr pro); a failed generation is refunded automatically. Earlier versions of this endpoint, if any, keep being served under their own names.

Parameter	Value for this workflow
workflow	"image_to_flat_lay-v1" required
garment_image	Image with your garment — one public HTTPS URL.required
fields.garmenttorecreate	Garment to recreate. Which garment in the photo, e.g. "the denim jacket". Helpful when several garments appear.
ratio	1:1 · 9:16 · 2:3 · 3:4 · 3:2 · 4:3
tier	"standard" (1 cr) or "pro" (3 cr)
webhook_url	Optional — we POST the outcome here when the generation settles. Without it, poll the URL returned in the response until the status settles.

Example request

curl -X POST https://thenewblack.ai/api/v1/generate \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer tnb_live_XXXXXXXXXXXX" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "workflow": "image_to_flat_lay-v1",
    "garment_image": "https://example.com/garment.jpg",
    "fields": {
      "garmenttorecreate": "the denim jacket"
    },
    "ratio": "1:1",
    "tier": "standard"
  }'

Example response

Poll /v1/generations/{id} (or receive the webhook) until the generation settles:

// 200 OK
{
  "generation_id": "3f1c9a6e-...",
  "workflow": "image_to_flat_lay",
  "status": "succeeded",
  "result": {
    "type": "image",
    "url": "https://.../result.webp",
    "thumbnail": "https://.../thumb.webp"
  }
}

Results are stored for 48 hours — copy them to your own storage. Authentication, errors and webhooks are documented in the full API reference.
