End-to-end walkthrough — upload a character image, generate a custom animation, download the result, then regenerate with different settings. Upload an existing character image as multipart form data: ```bash curl -X POST https://autosprite.com/api/v1/characters \ -H "x-api-key: vspk_your_key_here" \ -F "name=Pixel Knight" \ -F "image=@knight.png" \ -F "isHumanoid=true" \ -F "characterDescription=A knight with silver armor" ``` ```json { "id": "char_abc123", "name": "Pixel Knight", "isHumanoid": true, "baseImageUrl": "https://...", "thumbnailUrl": "https://...", "createdAt": "2025-01-15T10:30:00Z" } ``` Save the `id` — you'll need it for all subsequent calls. Create a custom attack animation. Defaults: 25 frames, 256×256, standard background removal. ```bash curl -X POST https://autosprite.com/api/v1/characters/char_abc123/spritesheets \ -H "x-api-key: vspk_your_key_here" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "animations": [ { "kind": "custom", "prompt": "Sword slash attack, swings weapon from overhead", "name": "Sword Attack" } ], "frameCount": 25, "frameSize": 256 }' ``` ```json { "characterId": "char_abc123", "workflows": [ { "jobId": "job_001", "kind": "custom", "videoId": "vid_001" } ], "creditsUsed": 5 } ``` Animations take 30–90 seconds. Poll the job until `status` is `succeeded` or `failed`: ```bash curl https://autosprite.com/api/v1/jobs/job_001 \ -H "x-api-key: vspk_your_key_here" ``` ```json { "jobId": "job_001", "status": "succeeded", "characterId": "char_abc123", "spritesheetIds": ["ss_001"], "completedAt": "2025-01-15T10:32:00Z" } ``` Poll every 5 seconds. The `status` progresses through `queued` → `running` → `succeeded` / `failed`. Fetch spritesheet details including download URLs: ```bash curl https://autosprite.com/api/v1/spritesheets/ss_001 \ -H "x-api-key: vspk_your_key_here" ``` ```json { "id": "ss_001", "kind": "custom", "frameWidth": 256, "frameHeight": 256, "frameCount": 25, "columns": 5, "sheetUrl": "https://...", "atlasUrl": "https://...", "createdAt": "2025-01-15T10:32:00Z" } ``` Download the spritesheet PNG and atlas JSON using the URLs from the response: ```bash # Use the sheetUrl and atlasUrl from the response above curl -o knight-attack.png "https://your-sheetUrl-here" curl -o knight-attack.json "https://your-atlasUrl-here" ``` Not happy with the result? Regenerate the same animation with more frames, higher resolution, or better background removal — at no extra credit cost: ```bash curl -X POST https://autosprite.com/api/v1/spritesheets/ss_001/regenerate \ -H "x-api-key: vspk_your_key_here" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "frameCount": 49, "frameSize": 256, "removeBg": "ultra" }' ``` ```json { "jobId": "job_002" } ``` Poll `job_002` the same way as Step 3. The new spritesheet replaces the old one with 49 frames and ultra-quality background removal — at no credit cost. Use the atlas JSON file for easy import into Unity, Godot, Phaser, and other engines. It contains frame positions and dimensions for each animation frame.
