1. Calling the API
Endpoint
Send a POST to https://api.elyum.ai/v1/generations with a JSON body matching the parameters below. Every model uses the same endpoint; the model field picks this one.

2. Authentication
API key
Create a key on Keys with the generate and spend scopes and send it as a bearer token. Keep it on your server; never send it to a browser.
Authorization: Bearer $ELYUM_API_KEY3. Queue
Submit and wait
With Prefer: wait=55 the request holds until the render ends or 55 seconds pass. A finished render answers 200 with its outputs; one still running answers 202 with its id.
Poll and cancel
const headers = { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.ELYUM_API_KEY}` }; // Poll until the render ends: succeeded, failed or canceledlet generation = await (await fetch(`https://api.elyum.ai/v1/generations/${id}`, { headers })).json();while (generation.status === "queued" || generation.status === "running") { await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 5000)); generation = await (await fetch(`https://api.elyum.ai/v1/generations/${id}`, { headers })).json();} // Or stop it (a hold is refunded)await fetch(`https://api.elyum.ai/v1/generations/${id}/cancel`, { method: "POST", headers });Output links are signed and last 24 hours: download them to your own storage, or fetch the generation again for fresh ones.
4. Pricing
| Resolution | Price |
|---|---|
| 480p | $0.09 / s |
| 720p | $0.14 / s |
