NoCam APIKey concepts
The few words you need to read everything else here.
Model
A named AI model, like gpt-image-2 or seedance-2.5. Its kind is image (photos), video or text. See Models.
Variant and price
One buyable combination of a model's settings: 720p, 5 seconds, with or without a video among the files. Each variant has its own price in prices. Prices are whole credits, and they don't move with the prompt.
Credit
The currency. 1 credit = $0.01. There's one balance for everything. Only paid credits buy models directly: bonus credits are for scenes on the site. See your balance with GET /v1/account.
Generation
One order: a model, its input, and what came of it. It starts as queued, moves to running, and ends as succeeded, failed or canceled. Its outputs hold the results. See Generations.
Route
One way we can reach a model. A model can have several. The cheapest one goes first, and if it fails the order moves to the next by itself. You never choose a route, and we don't name them. routes in a model says how many there are, and no_fallback: true means there's one, so if it's down the model is down.
File
A photo, video or audio file for a generation. Send a public https address, or upload it first and use its file_… id. See Uploads.
Mode: live and test
A key is either nc_live_… or nc_test_…. Live keys spend credits on real models. Test keys are the free sandbox. The two don't see each other's generations.
Level
Your account's limits: how many generations a minute, how many at once, and how many credits a day. See Limits.
