Tools & capabilities
Clipia tools 16
generate_imageGenerate image(s) from a text prompt, optionally with reference images (editing / image-to-image). Waits briefly and usually returns the finished image inline (URL + small preview). Cost in credits is returned.generate_videoStart a video generation from a text prompt (text-to-video) or from a start image (image-to-video, pass `image_url`). Returns `request_id` and cost in credits immediately — renders take 1–10 min, poll with `wait_generation`.generate_audioGenerate speech from text with a selected voice and language. Returns an MP3 when complete.generate_musicGenerate background music or a soundtrack from a description of mood, genre and tempo.wait_generationWait for a generation to finish (long-poll up to `wait_seconds`, then returns current status). Call repeatedly until `COMPLETED`, `FAILED` or `CANCELED`. Returns output URLs (and an inline preview) when done.get_generationGet the current status/result of a generation without waiting. When `COMPLETED`, `output.images[].url` is the inline webp preview and `output.images[].original_url` is the full-quality PNG/JPG.list_modelsList available AI models with type (text/image/video/audio), capabilities and pricing in credits. Text models expose per-1K input/output rates; generation models expose a base price. Filter by `type` / `search`.get_modelGet model details and pricing: `input_schema` for generation models; context limits and per-1K input/output rates for text models.get_balanceGet the credit balance of the connected Clipia account and 30-day usage of the current API key.search_templatesSearch 3500+ curated prompt templates (hybrid text+semantic search, Russian or English query). Each result has a ready-to-use prompt and a recommended model.chat
