pip install requestsAuthentication
All API requests require authentication via an API key. You can get your API key from the Atlas Cloud dashboard.
export ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"HTTP Headers
import os
API_KEY = os.environ.get("ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY")
headers = {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}"
}Never expose your API key in client-side code or public repositories. Use environment variables or a backend proxy instead.
Submit a request
import requests
url = "https://api.atlascloud.ai/api/v1/model/generateVideo"
headers = {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Authorization": "Bearer $ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY"
}
data = {
"model": "your-model",
"prompt": "A beautiful landscape"
}
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)
print(response.json())Submit a Request
Submit an asynchronous generation request. The API returns a prediction ID that you can use to check the status and retrieve the result.
