Generate game art with a single API call

API Keys

All requests use Bearer token authentication. Create a key in your SpriteCook dashboard and include it in the Authorization header. Each key has scopes (generate, read_assets, read_credits), so give it only the ones you need.

Authorization: Bearer sc_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx...

Available Routes

Every route, parameter, response, and required scope is also in the OpenAPI spec, which you can load into Postman, an SDK generator, or an AI agent.

Generate Parameters

All parameters for POST /v1/api/generate and POST /v1/api/generate-sync. Only prompt is required.

Quick Examples

curl -X POST https://api.spritecook.ai/v1/api/generate-sync \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sc_live_YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "prompt": "a medieval iron sword, side view",
    "width": 64,
    "height": 64,
    "pixel": true,
    "bg_mode": "transparent",
    "model": "gpt-image-2",
    "quality": "medium"
  }'

curl -X POST https://api.spritecook.ai/v1/api/remove-background \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sc_live_YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "asset_id": "b9fce2d4-..."
  }'

Animate Parameters

All parameters for POST /v1/api/animate and POST /v1/api/animate-sync. These endpoints expect an existing asset_id. If you only have local image bytes, import them first with POST /v1/api/assets/import. When pixel is omitted, SpriteCook infers the correct animation mode from the asset.

Using SpriteCook with AI agents?

If you're connecting SpriteCook to Cursor, VS Code, Claude, or another MCP-compatible editor, use the one-command installer. It configures everything automatically.

Remove Background Parameters

POST /v1/api/remove-background accepts exactly one input source: either an owned asset_id or raw uploaded media. Raw uploads can be a still image or animated WebP. The endpoint always runs the current basic cleanup backend and returns a temporary file result through job polling. Download it within 24 hours: file.expires_at says when it goes away.
