Text to Sketch API

One endpoint serves every workflow — this page documents text_to_sketch-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.

Example request

curl -X POST https://thenewblack.ai/api/v1/generate \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer tnb_live_XXXXXXXXXXXX" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "workflow": "text_to_sketch-v1",
    "fields": {
      "garment": "oversized denim jacket with dropped shoulders and chest pockets",
      "view": "Front view",
      "model": "a woman from Italy"
    },
    "variant": "Flat sketch",
    "ratio": "3:4",
    "tier": "standard"
  }'

// 202 Accepted
{
  "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
{
  "generation_id": "3f1c9a6e-...",
  "workflow": "text_to_sketch",
  "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.
