Quick Start#

1) Install Dependency#

bash

pip install requests

2) Initialize Skill#

python

import os
from scripts.skill_router import Skill

skill = Skill('scripts/c_api_doc_detail.json')
api_key = os.getenv('API_KEY', '')
if not api_key:
    raise RuntimeError('API_KEY is not set')

3) Configure Environment Variable API_KEY#

Windows PowerShell:

powershell

$env:API_KEY="your-api-key"

macOS / Linux (bash/zsh):

bash

export API_KEY="your-api-key"

Usage Examples (Python)#

result = skill.invoke(
    'Seedream 4.0',
    {
        'prompt': 'transform this photo into an oil painting in the style of Van Gogh, vibrant colors, visible brushstrokes',
        'image': 'https://example.com/input-image.jpg'

Tips for Better Results#

1. Use High-Quality Input: Better source images yield better transformations
2. Be Specific in Prompts: Describe both the transformation and desired outcome
3. Adjust Strength: Use lower strength (0.3-0.5) to preserve more of the original
4. Match Aspect Ratios: Keep output ratio similar to input for best results
