How The API Works

The Katalis AI API is actually like a RESTful API that provides services for generating high-quality images and product copy.

Basic Workflow​

  • Request: The client (your application) sends a request to the Katalis AI API. This request is an HTTP message that uses a specific method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.). The request may also include data (in the case of POST and PUT requests) and parameters.

  • Processing: The Katalis AI API receives the request, processes it, and performs the necessary operations. This could involve generating an image or product copy based on the data and parameters provided in the request.

  • Response: After processing the request, the Katalis AI API sends a response back to the client. This response is also an HTTP message and includes a status code, which indicates whether the request was successful or not, and the requested data (if any).

Endpoints​

The Katalis AI API likely has several endpoints, each corresponding to a specific functionality. For example, there might be one endpoint for generating images and another for generating product copy. The exact URL of these endpoints would be provided in the API documentation. You can check the details here

Data Formats​

The Katalis AI API, like most REST APIs, probably uses JSON as the format for sending and receiving data. When you send a request, you would include the data as a JSON object in the body of the request. Similarly, the response from the API would also be a JSON object containing the requested data.

Authentication​

Most APIs require some form of authentication to ensure that only authorized users can access them. The Katalis AI API uses API keys for authentication.

When you sign up for the service, you'll be provided with an API key. This key is a unique identifier that you must include in your API requests. It allows the Katalis AI API to verify your identity and ensure you have permission to access the requested resources.

Here's a general example of how to include an API key in a request:

GET https://dev-api.katalis.ai/service/v1/image-background
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual API key. The exact way to include the API key in your requests may vary, so be sure to refer to the Katalis AI API documentation for specific instructions.
