Upload a reference image to create a reusable character. Processing runs in background. Costs 1 credit.
Best results with clear, front-facing subjects with good lighting and high resolution.

​
Example

import requests

url = "https://apis.viggle.ai/api/characters/preprocess"
headers = {
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY",
}
files = {
    "image": ("character.png", open("character.png", "rb"), "image/png"),
}
data = {
    "name": "My Character",
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, files=files, data=data)
result = response.json()

if result.get("error_code"):
    print(f"Error: {result['error_code']} - {result.get('message')}")
else:
    print(f"Character ID: {result['character_id']}")
    print(f"Status: {result['status']}")

​
Next Steps

After creating a character, poll Get Character every 5 seconds until the status becomes ready. Then you can use it in render jobs.
