MuAPI Media

Use the bundled scripts/muapi_media.py CLI to discover current MuAPI image models and submit one explicitly confirmed image-generation request. The CLI uses the live catalog's name, category, and already-versioned endpoint fields, then polls the standard prediction result endpoint. It does not assume that the catalog contains an inline request schema; add model-specific fields only from the current model contract.

When to use this skill

• The user wants to find a current MuAPI image model.
• An image workflow needs MuAPI's exact model endpoint rather than a remembered alias.
• The user has explicitly approved a potentially billable image-generation request.
• An asynchronous MuAPI prediction needs bounded status polling.

This skill covers text-to-image and image-to-image workflows. Do not use it for MuAPI video, audio, 3D, chat, or model-training requests.

Setup

Set the API key in the environment. Never pass it as a CLI argument or commit it:

export MUAPI_API_KEY="your-api-key"

MUAPI_BASE_URL is optional and defaults to https://api.muapi.ai. Use it only for an approved compatible deployment.

Workflow

1. Discover current image models

python3 scripts/muapi_media.py models --category image --query flux

The public catalog currently returns a top-level models array. Image-generation entries use categories such as Text to Image and Image to Image; their endpoint values already include the /api/v1/ prefix. Choose an exact model from this output immediately before generation.

2. Prepare and review parameters

{
  "prompt": "A clean product photograph on a neutral background",
  "aspect_ratio": "1:1"
}

Keep only fields supported by the selected model's current request contract. The catalog is a model directory, not a guarantee that every model accepts the same parameters. A prompt is required for this skill.

3. Confirm cost and generate once

python3 scripts/muapi_media.py generate \
  flux-dev \
  --params-file request.json \
  --confirm-paid

--confirm-paid is mandatory. The CLI sends exactly one generation POST, never retries an ambiguous POST, and polls only GET requests with a finite budget. The model argument may be the catalog model name or its exact /api/v1/... endpoint path.

Use --output to download the first completed artifact without sending the API key to the output host:

python3 scripts/muapi_media.py generate \
  flux-dev \
  --params-file request.json \
  --confirm-paid \
  --output ./muapi-output.png

Safety rules

• Keep MUAPI_API_KEY server-side and out of logs, prompts, screenshots, and committed files.
• Never retry a generation POST automatically. Require fresh user confirmation before another paid request.
• Poll only with GET and stop at --max-polls.
• Preserve the catalog endpoint path; do not prepend /api/v1/ to an endpoint that already has it.
• Download only HTTPS output URLs and do not forward the API key to the output host.
• Require human review for sensitive, regulated, or high-impact content.

Output

Commands write structured JSON to stdout. A successful generation includes the selected model, request ID, terminal status, output URLs, and—when requested—the local artifact path.
