Grid Mosaic API

One look cut into a grid drawn in one colour: two small portraits and a large one above, the full look and two crops of the legs below. The cells open one by one and trade places on the beat. A portrait and a full look.

POST/v1/generateworkflow: motion_grid_mosaic-v1

One endpoint serves every workflow — this page documents motion_grid_mosaic-v1, the current version. Credits are debited at submission (1 cr/s standard, 1 cr/s 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	"motion_grid_mosaic-v1" required
slot_1	Portrait — one public HTTPS URL.required
slot_2	Full look — one public HTTPS URL.required
fields.lines	Line colour. Defaults to “#6FD3A0”.
duration	10 (seconds)
tier	"standard" (1 cr/s), "pro" (1 cr/s)
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 '{

    "fields": {
      "lines": "#6FD3A0"
    },
    "duration": "10",

{
  "generation_id": "3f1c9a6e-...",
  "status": "running",
  "poll": "/api/v1/generations/3f1c9a6e-..."
}

Example response

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

// 200 OK

}
