Python

PyPI package with async support

REST API

Direct HTTP API for any language

JavaScript/Node.js SDK

Installation

npm install @percify/sdk
# or
yarn add @percify/sdk

Quick Start

import { Percify } from '@percify/sdk';

const percify = new Percify({
  apiKey: process.env.PERCIFY_API_KEY
});

// Generate avatar
const avatar = await percify.avatars.generate({
  prompt: 'cyberpunk warrior, neon city background',
  model: 'flux'
});

console.log(`Avatar created: ${avatar.imageUrl}`);

Complete Example

import { Percify } from '@percify/sdk';

const client = new Percify({
  apiKey: process.env.PERCIFY_API_KEY,
  timeout: 60000, // 60 seconds
  retries: 3
});

async function createAvatarWorkflow() {
  try {
    // 1. Generate avatar
    console.log('Generating avatar...');
    const avatar = await client.avatars.generate({
      prompt: 'mystical forest guardian, glowing eyes, fantasy art',
      model: 'imagen3',
      aspectRatio: '1:1',
      negativePrompt: 'blurry, low quality'
    });
    
    // Wait for completion
    const completedAvatar = await client.avatars.waitForCompletion(avatar.id);
    console.log(`Avatar ready: ${completedAvatar.imageUrl}`);
    
    // 2. Convert to video
    console.log('Creating video...');
    const video = await client.videos.fromImage({
      imageId: avatar.id,
      durationSeconds: 5,
      studioTier: 'basic',
      motionStyle: 'moderate'
    });
    
    // Wait for video completion
    const completedVideo = await client.videos.waitForCompletion(video.id);
    console.log(`Video ready: ${completedVideo.videoUrl}`);
    
    // 3. Clone voice and add audio
    console.log('Cloning voice...');
    const voice = await client.voices.clone({
      audioFile: './voice-sample.mp3',
      name: 'My Voice'
    });
    
    // Generate speech
    const audio = await client.audio.generate({
      text: 'Welcome to the mystical forest!',
      voiceId: voice.id
    });
    
    // Add audio to video
    const finalVideo = await client.videos.addAudio({
      videoId: video.id,
      audioId: audio.id,
      enableLipSync: true
    });
    
    console.log(`Complete video: ${finalVideo.videoUrl}`);
    
    return {
      avatar: completedAvatar,
      video: finalVideo
    };
    
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error:', error.message);
    throw error;
  }
}

createAvatarWorkflow();

Error Handling

import { Percify, PercifyError, InsufficientCreditsError } from '@percify/sdk';

const client = new Percify({ apiKey: process.env.PERCIFY_API_KEY });

try {
  const avatar = await client.avatars.generate({
    prompt: 'warrior character',
    model: 'imagen3'
  });
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof InsufficientCreditsError) {
    console.log('Not enough credits. Please purchase more.');
    console.log(`Required: ${error.required}, Available: ${error.available}`);
  } else if (error instanceof PercifyError) {
    console.log(`API Error: ${error.code} - ${error.message}`);
  } else {
    console.log('Unexpected error:', error);
  }
}

Webhooks Integration

import express from 'express';
import { Percify } from '@percify/sdk';

const app = express();
app.use(express.json());

const client = new Percify({ apiKey: process.env.PERCIFY_API_KEY });

// Webhook endpoint
app.post('/webhooks/percify', async (req, res) => {
  const signature = req.headers['x-percify-signature'];
  
  // Verify webhook signature
  if (!client.webhooks.verify(req.body, signature)) {
    return res.status(401).send('Invalid signature');
  }
  
  const event = req.body;
  
  switch (event.type) {
    case 'avatar.completed':
      console.log(`Avatar ${event.data.avatarId} completed`);
      // Process completed avatar
      break;
      
    case 'video.completed':
      console.log(`Video ${event.data.videoId} ready`);
      // Download or process video
      break;
      
    case 'credits.low_balance':
      console.log(`Low balance: ${event.data.balance} credits`);
      // Send notification to user
      break;
  }
  
  res.sendStatus(200);
});

app.listen(3000);

        avatar = await client.avatars.generate_async(
            prompt='mystical forest guardian, glowing eyes, fantasy art',
            model='imagen3',
            aspect_ratio='1:1',

    except Exception as e:
        print(f'Unexpected error: {e}')

# Run async workflow
asyncio.run(create_avatar_workflow())

Flask Webhook Integration

from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
from percify import Percify
import os

app = Flask(__name__)
client = Percify(api_key=os.environ['PERCIFY_API_KEY'])

@app.route('/webhooks/percify', methods=['POST'])
def webhook():
    signature = request.headers.get('X-Percify-Signature')
    
    # Verify webhook signature
    if not client.webhooks.verify(request.get_data(), signature):
        return 'Invalid signature', 401
    
    event = request.get_json()
    
    if event['type'] == 'avatar.completed':
        print(f"Avatar {event['data']['avatarId']} completed")
        # Process completed avatar
        
    elif event['type'] == 'video.completed':
        print(f"Video {event['data']['videoId']} ready")
        # Download or process video
        
    elif event['type'] == 'credits.low_balance':
        print(f"Low balance: {event['data']['balance']} credits")
        # Send notification
    
    return jsonify({'status': 'received'}), 200

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(port=3000)

REST API Integration

For languages without an official SDK, use the REST API directly:

cURL Examples

# Generate avatar
curl -X POST https://api.percify.io/v1/avatars/generate \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PERCIFY_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "prompt": "cyberpunk warrior",
    "model": "flux"
  }'

# Check status
curl -X GET https://api.percify.io/v1/avatars/avatar_123 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PERCIFY_API_KEY"

# Generate video
curl -X POST https://api.percify.io/v1/videos/from-image \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PERCIFY_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "imageId": "avatar_123",
    "durationSeconds": 5
  }'

PHP Example

<?php

function generateAvatar($apiKey, $prompt, $model = 'flux') {
    $url = 'https://api.percify.io/v1/avatars/generate';
    
    $data = [
        'prompt' => $prompt,
        'model' => $model
    ];
    
    $options = [
        'http' => [
            'header' => [
                "Authorization: Bearer $apiKey",
                'Content-Type: application/json'
            ],
            'method' => 'POST',
            'content' => json_encode($data)
        ]
    ];
    
    $context = stream_context_create($options);
    $result = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);
    
    return json_decode($result, true);
}

$apiKey = getenv('PERCIFY_API_KEY');
$avatar = generateAvatar($apiKey, 'mystical wizard, fantasy art');

echo "Avatar ID: " . $avatar['id'] . "\n";
echo "Status: " . $avatar['status'] . "\n";
?>

Ruby Example

require 'net/http'
require 'json'
require 'uri'

class PercifyClient
  def initialize(api_key)
    @api_key = api_key
    @base_url = 'https://api.percify.io/v1'
  end
  
  def generate_avatar(prompt, model: 'flux')
    uri = URI("#{@base_url}/avatars/generate")
    http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
    http.use_ssl = true
    
    request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(uri.path)
    request['Authorization'] = "Bearer #{@api_key}"
    request['Content-Type'] = 'application/json'
    request.body = {
      prompt: prompt,
      model: model
    }.to_json
    
    response = http.request(request)
    JSON.parse(response.body)
  end
end

client = PercifyClient.new(ENV['PERCIFY_API_KEY'])
avatar = client.generate_avatar('cyberpunk warrior, neon city')

puts "Avatar ID: #{avatar['id']}"
puts "Status: #{avatar['status']}"

Common Integration Patterns

Batch Processing

// Process multiple avatars in parallel
async function batchGenerate(prompts) {
  const promises = prompts.map(prompt =>
    client.avatars.generate({ prompt, model: 'flux' })
  );
  
  const avatars = await Promise.all(promises);
  
  // Wait for all to complete
  const completed = await Promise.all(
    avatars.map(a => client.avatars.waitForCompletion(a.id))
  );
  
  return completed;
}

const prompts = [
  'warrior character',
  'mage character',
  'rogue character'
];

const avatars = await batchGenerate(prompts);

Queue System

import Queue from 'bull';

const avatarQueue = new Queue('avatar-generation', {
  redis: { host: 'localhost', port: 6379 }
});

// Add job
avatarQueue.add({
  prompt: 'fantasy character',
  userId: 'user_123'
});

// Process job
avatarQueue.process(async (job) => {
  const { prompt, userId } = job.data;
  
  const avatar = await client.avatars.generate({ prompt });
  const completed = await client.avatars.waitForCompletion(avatar.id);
  
  // Save to database or notify user
  await saveAvatarForUser(userId, completed);
  
  return completed;
});

Retry Logic

async function generateWithRetry(prompt, maxRetries = 3) {
  let lastError;
  
  for (let i = 0; i < maxRetries; i++) {
    try {
      const avatar = await client.avatars.generate({ prompt });
      return await client.avatars.waitForCompletion(avatar.id);
    } catch (error) {
      lastError = error;
      
      if (error instanceof InsufficientCreditsError) {
        throw error; // Don't retry
      }
      
      // Wait before retry (exponential backoff)
      await new Promise(resolve => 
        setTimeout(resolve, Math.pow(2, i) * 1000)
      );
    }
  }
  
  throw lastError;
}

Best Practices

Secure API Keys

Store in environment variables
Never commit to version control
Use different keys for dev/prod
Rotate regularly
Implement key scoping if available

Handle Timeouts

const client = new Percify({
  apiKey: process.env.PERCIFY_API_KEY,
  timeout: 60000, // 60 seconds
  retries: 3,
  retryDelay: 1000
});

Use Webhooks for Long Operations

Instead of polling:

// ❌ Polling
while (status !== 'completed') {
  await sleep(5000);
  status = await checkStatus();
}

// ✅ Webhooks
await client.videos.generate({ imageId, webhookUrl });
// Webhook notifies when complete

Monitor Usage

// Check credits before expensive operations
const credits = await client.user.getCredits();
if (credits.balance < 50) {
  console.warn('Low credits!');
}

// Track usage
const usage = await client.user.getUsage({ period: '30d' });
console.log(`Credits spent: ${usage.totalCreditsSpent}`);

Validate User Input

function validatePrompt(prompt) {
  if (!prompt || prompt.length < 3) {
    throw new Error('Prompt too short');
  }
  if (prompt.length > 500) {
    throw new Error('Prompt too long');
  }
  // Check for prohibited content
  // ...
  return true;
}

Deployment Considerations

Environment Variables

PERCIFY_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
PERCIFY_WEBHOOK_SECRET=your_webhook_secret
PERCIFY_TIMEOUT=60000
PERCIFY_MAX_RETRIES=3

Rate Limiting

import rateLimit from 'express-rate-limit';

const limiter = rateLimit({
  windowMs: 60 * 1000, // 1 minute
  max: 10 // 10 requests per minute
});

app.use('/api/generate', limiter);

Caching

import NodeCache from 'node-cache';

const cache = new NodeCache({ stdTTL: 3600 }); // 1 hour

async function getCachedAvatar(avatarId) {
  const cached = cache.get(avatarId);
  if (cached) return cached;
  
  const avatar = await client.avatars.get(avatarId);
  cache.set(avatarId, avatar);
  return avatar;
}
