Photta API
AI fashion photography, one REST call away.
Generate on-model apparel and jewelry photos, remove mannequins from flat-lay shots, and build your own AI fashion studio on top of Photta's production pipeline — asynchronous REST endpoints, credit-based pricing, cURL-first docs.
Capabilities
3
Auth
Bearer
Pattern
Async + poll
Typical
1–4 min
Capabilities
Three endpoints, one account, one credit balance.
Every capability shares the same authentication, polling pattern and error shape — learn one, ship all three.
Virtual Try-On (Apparel)
Place a flat-lay garment on an AI mannequin in the pose, expression and body size you pick. Six product types, five aspect ratios.
Jewelry Try-On
Tight-crop close-ups of necklaces, rings, bracelets and earrings on purpose-built jewelry mannequins — reflections and tiny surfaces handled.
Ghost Mannequin
Strip the mannequin out of a garment photo and keep the interior construction intact. Hollow-man or flat-lay finish, batch-friendly.
Languages
No SDK yet — and you don't need one.
Three ready-to-paste walkthroughs that match exactly what the Photta docs recommend today.
Quickstart
From signup to first image in five minutes.
Every capability follows the same pattern: authenticate, submit, poll. Learn it once.
- 1Sign up at ai.photta.app and generate a live API key from the Developers dashboard.
- 2POST the job with your key in the Authorization header — the API returns a generation ID immediately.
- 3Poll the same endpoint every 3 seconds until status flips to completed, then download the result URL.

}'Questions
Things developers ask before signing up
What is the Photta API?+
Photta's API is a credit-based REST service that generates professional fashion photography from your product photos. It's the same pipeline that powers Photta's consumer apps — virtual apparel try-on, jewelry try-on, and ghost mannequin extraction, exposed as three endpoints for developers to build their own tools on top of.
How do I get an API key?+
Sign up at ai.photta.app, open the Developers section of the dashboard, click Generate API key. Your live key starts with `photta_live_` followed by 32 hex characters. Keep it in an environment variable — never commit it to source control, never ship it to the browser.
Is there a free tier?+
New accounts receive trial credits you can spend on any capability. Once you're ready to ship, subscribe to a plan with a higher monthly credit balance and faster rate limits (30/min Starter, 60/min Pro). No per-call minimums; unused credits don't expire within the billing period.
How fast is generation?+
Try-on jobs typically complete within 1.5 to 4 minutes. Ghost mannequin is faster — usually 1 to 3 minutes. Every endpoint is asynchronous: POST returns a generation ID in under a second, and you poll every 3 to 5 seconds until the job finishes. There's no long-held HTTP connection to manage.
Is there an official Photta SDK?+
Not yet. The docs roadmap plans a Python SDK once ten active API customers ship and a Node.js SDK at twenty. Until then, the supported integration path is raw REST via cURL, Node's native fetch, or Python's requests library — all three are documented end-to-end on this site.
