Atlas Cloud — AI Image, Video & LLM Generation API

Atlas Cloud — AI Image, Video & LLM Generation API

One API key to generate images, videos, and call LLMs — covering Nano Banana 2, Seedream, Kling, Seedance, Qwen, DeepSeek and more. Cheaper than calling providers directly.

> Data usage note: This skill recommends Atlas Cloud API calls that send prompts and media to Atlas Cloud servers for processing. Generated outputs are hosted on Atlas Cloud CDN. Review Atlas Cloud Privacy Policy before use.

Script Usage

This skill includes Python scripts for image and video generation. Zero external dependencies required.

List available models

python scripts/generate_image.py list-models
python scripts/generate_video.py list-models

Generate an image

python scripts/generate_image.py generate \
  --model "MODEL_ID" \
  --prompt "Your prompt" \
  --output ./output

Generate a video

python scripts/generate_video.py generate \
  --model "MODEL_ID" \
  --prompt "Your prompt" \
  --output ./output \
  duration=5

Run python scripts/generate_image.py generate --help or python scripts/generate_video.py generate --help for all options.

Why Choose Atlas Cloud

API Architecture

Endpoints

| Type | Endpoint | Method | |------|----------|--------| | Image Generation | https://api.atlascloud.ai/api/v1/model/generateImage | POST | | Video Generation | https://api.atlascloud.ai/api/v1/model/generateVideo | POST | | Poll Result | https://api.atlascloud.ai/api/v1/model/prediction/{id} | GET | | LLM Chat | https://api.atlascloud.ai/v1/chat/completions | POST | | Model List | https://console.atlascloud.ai/api/v1/models | GET (no auth) |

All requests (except Model List) require:

Authorization: Bearer $ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY
Content-Type: application/json

Workflow Pattern

Status values for polling: starting → processing → completed/succeeded | failed

Quick Examples

Image Generation

# Submit task
curl -s -X POST "https://api.atlascloud.ai/api/v1/model/generateImage" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "bytedance/seedream-v5.0-lite", "prompt": "A cherry blossom garden", "size": "2048*2048"}'
Returns {"code": 200, "data": {"id": "prediction_xxx"}}
Poll result (every 3 seconds)
curl -s "https://api.atlascloud.ai/api/v1/model/prediction/{prediction_id}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY"
When done: {"data": {"status": "completed", "outputs": ["https://cdn..."]}}

Video Generation

curl -s -X POST "https://api.atlascloud.ai/api/v1/model/generateVideo" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "kwaivgi/kling-v3.0-std/text-to-video", "prompt": "A rocket launching", "duration": 5, "aspect_ratio": "16:9"}'
Same polling as above, videos typically take 1-5 minutes

LLM Chat (OpenAI SDK)

from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
    api_key="your-atlascloud-api-key",
    base_url="https://api.atlascloud.ai/v1",
)
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="qwen/qwen3.5-397b-a17b",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Reference Files

Read these when you need full implementation code:

Always Verify Model IDs

Model IDs change frequently. Always fetch the real model list before writing integration code:

GET https://console.atlascloud.ai/api/v1/models

No authentication required. Only use models where display_console: true. See references/models.md for the full model reference and selection guide.

MCP Tools

If the user has the Atlas Cloud MCP server installed (npx atlascloud-mcp), these tools are available:

| Tool | Purpose | |------|---------| | atlas_list_models | List all models, filter by type ("Image", "Video", "Text") | | atlas_search_docs | Search models by keyword | | atlas_get_model_info | Get detailed API docs and schema for a model | | atlas_generate_image | Submit image generation task | | atlas_generate_video | Submit video generation task | | atlas_chat | Send chat completion request | | atlas_get_prediction | Check generation status and get results | | atlas_quick_generate | One-step: auto-find model + generate |

Error Handling

| HTTP Status | Meaning | Action | |-------------|---------|--------| | 401 | Invalid/expired API key | Check ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY | | 402 | Insufficient balance | Top up at Billing Page | | 429 | Rate limited | Retry with exponential backoff | | 5xx | Server error | Wait and retry |
