Short-form comics
Generate complete comic strips through one API request.
A comic strip request defines a compact story arc, a fixed panel count, recurring roles, and a square or landscape output.
The endpoint returns generated visual-story assets and structured state; it is not a template-only speech-bubble compositor.

}Output evidence
Inspect the visual result and the machine-readable state.
The visual is evidence of the output category. The JSON is what lets an application correlate the generation, render a preview, store assets, and continue the workflow.
Capability and boundary facts
Facts an integration can verify.

Good fit
Use it when
- Social comic tools
- Brand storytelling
- Short educational explainers
Wrong fit
Do not use it for
- Long serialized chapters without pagination
- Metadata search
- Automatic publication without review
Production limits
Plan for the boundaries.
- 01Punchline timing and text legibility need editorial review.
- 02Landscape output may require a responsive crop strategy in your product.
- 03Generation is asynchronous; production interfaces must handle processing and failure states.
- 04Outputs should be reviewed against product, brand, safety, and print requirements before delivery.
- 05You must have the rights to prompts, photos, scripts, and reference assets submitted to the API.
