As of March 2024, we are building the REST v2beta API service to be the primary API service for the Stability Platform. All AI services on other APIs (gRPC, REST v1, RESTv2alpha) will continue to be maintained, however they will not receive new features or parameters. If you are a REST v2alpha user, we strongly recommend that you adjust the URL calls for the specific services that you are using over to the equivalent REST v2beta URL. Normally, this means simply replacing "v2alpha" with "v2beta". We are not deprecating v2alpha URLs at this time for users that are currently using them. #### Authentication You will need your [Stability API key](https://platform.stability.ai/account/keys) in order to make requests to this API. Make sure you never share your API key with anyone, and you never commit it to a public repository. Include this key in the `Authorization` header of your requests. #### Rate limiting This API is rate-limited to 150 requests every 10 seconds. If you exceed this limit, you will receive a `429` response and be timed out for 60 seconds. If you find this limit too restrictive, please reach out to us via [this form](https://kb.stability.ai/knowledge-base/kb-tickets/new). #### Support Please see our [FAQ](https://platform.stability.ai/faq) for answers to common questions. If you have any other questions or concerns, please reach out to us via [this form](https://kb.stability.ai/knowledge-base/kb-tickets/new).

Supported Formats: - jpeg - png - webp Validation Rules: - Every side must be at least 64 pixels - Total pixel count must be between 4,096 and 4,194,304 pixels format: binary example: ./some/image.png texture_resolution: type: string enum: - '512' - '1024' - '2048' default: '1024' description: >- Determines the resolution of the textures used for both the albedo (color) map and the normal map. The resolution is specified in pixels, and a higher value corresponds to a higher level of detail in the textures, allowing for more intricate and precise rendering of surfaces. However, increasing the resolution also results in larger asset sizes, which may impact loading times and performance. 1024 is a good default value and rarely requires changing. foreground_ratio: type: number minimum: 0.1 maximum: 1 default: 0.85 description: >- Controls the amount of padding around the object to be processed within the frame. This ratio determines the relative size of the object compared to the total frame size. A higher ratio means less padding and a larger object, while a lower ratio increases the padding, effectively reducing the object’s size within the frame. This can be useful when a long and narrow object, such as a car or bus, is viewed from the front (the narrow side). Here, lowering the foreground ratio might help prevent the generated 3D assets from appearing squished or distorted. The default value of 0.85 is good for most objects. remesh: type: string enum: - none - triangle - quad default: none description: >- Controls the remeshing algorithm used to generate the 3D model. The remeshing algorithm determines how the 3D model is constructed from the input image. The default value of "none" means that the model is generated without remeshing, which is suitable for most use cases. The "triangle" option generates a model with triangular faces, while the "quad" option generates a model with quadrilateral faces. The "quad" option is useful when the 3D model will be used in DCC tools such as Maya or Blender. vertex_count: type: number minimum: -1 maximum: 20000 default: -1 description: >- If specified, the result will have approximately this many vertices (and consequently fewer faces) in the simplified mesh. Setting this value to -1 (the default value) means that a limit is not set. required: - image responses: '200': $ref: '#/components/responses/ModelGenerationSuccess' '400': $ref: '#/components/responses/BadRequest' '403': $ref: '#/components/responses/ContentModerated' '413': $ref: '#/components/responses/PayloadTooLarge' '429': $ref: '#/components/responses/RateLimited' '500': $ref: '#/components/responses/InternalError' x-codeSamples: - lang: python label: Python source: |- import requests response = requests.post( f"https://api.stability.ai/v2beta/3d/stable-fast-3d", headers={ "authorization": f"Bearer sk-MYAPIKEY", }, files={ "image": open("./cat-statue.png", "rb") }, data={}, ) if response.status_code == 200: with open("./3d-cat-statue.glb", 'wb') as file: file.write(response.content) else: raise Exception(str(response.json())) - lang: javascript label: JavaScript source: |- import axios from "axios"; import FormData from "form-data"; import fs from "node:fs"; const payload = { image: fs.createReadStream("./cat-statue.png"), }; const response = await axios.postForm( `https://api.stability.ai/v2beta/3d/stable-fast-3d`, axios.toFormData(payload, new FormData()), { validateStatus: undefined, responseType: "arraybuffer", headers: { Authorization: `Bearer sk-MYAPIKEY`, }, }, ); if (response.status === 200) { fs.writeFileSync("./3d-cat-statue.glb", Buffer.from(response.data)); } else { throw new Error(`${response.status}: ${response.data.toString()}`); } - lang: terminal label: cURL source: |- curl -f -sS "https://api.stability.ai/v2beta/3d/stable-fast-3d" \ -H "authorization: Bearer sk-MYAPIKEY" \ -F image=@"./cat-statue.png" \ -o "./3d-cat-statue.glb" components: parameters: Authorization: schema: type: string description: >- Your [Stability API key](https://platform.stability.ai/account/keys), used to authenticate your requests.
