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.

curl -X POST https://thenewblack.ai/api/v1/generate \
