Build with SquidFace

A key is shown once, at creation — we store only its hash, so it can't be recovered later. Lost it? Revoke and create another.

API calls draw from the same credit balance as the SquidFace studio. One video costs 60 credits; prompt enhancement (/v1/prompt) is free.

One key reaches all five. Every generation call runs your prompt through Takin first, so a one-line idea becomes a production-ready prompt.

Base URL https://api.squidface.ai · authenticate with Authorization: Bearer sk_squid_live_…

1 · Generate a video

# Returns a job id immediately — renders take 1-5 min.
curl -X POST https://api.squidface.ai/v1/video \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SQUIDFACE_KEY" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"prompt":"a squid drifting through a neon reef","duration":8}'

2 · Poll until it's done

curl https://api.squidface.ai/v1/video/{id} \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SQUIDFACE_KEY"

{"id":"…","status":"done","url":"https://…/video.mp4"}

Python

import httpx, time

h = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {KEY}"}
job = httpx.post("https://api.squidface.ai/v1/video", headers=h,
                 json={"prompt": "a squid in a neon reef"}).json()

while True:
    s = httpx.get(f"https://api.squidface.ai/v1/video/{job['id']}", headers=h).json()
    if s["status"] in ("done", "error"): break
    time.sleep(20)
print(s["url"])

Image, voice and music

# SquidPic — returns the URL inline, no polling.
curl -X POST https://api.squidface.ai/v1/image -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" -d '{"prompt":"a neon squid","hd":true}'

# SquidVolume — any language, up to 40k characters.
curl -X POST https://api.squidface.ai/v1/voice -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" -d '{"text":"Welcome to SquidFace."}'

# SquidBeat — a job, like video. Poll /v1/music/{id}.
curl -X POST https://api.squidface.ai/v1/music -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"prompt":"dreamy synthwave for a night drive","instrumental":true}'

Add SquidFace to Claude Desktop or Claude Code and just ask for a video — Claude calls the API itself. Download squidface_mcp.py, then:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "squidface": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/path/to/squidface_mcp.py"],
      "env": { "SQUIDFACE_API_KEY": "sk_squid_live_…" }
    }
  }
}
