Verdicts

ArtCraft

Public source under permissive licences. No external-agent API verified.

Bria API

Per-image prices, 100 free calls without a card, OpenAPI files and Markdown docs make a first call quick, and the terms warrant that customer content is not used for training. Keys are organisation-wide with no scopes, and the API has no changelog or deprecation policy.

Before you call either

ArtCraft

  1. Use the interactive application unless an official automation interface is confirmed.
  2. Check the model service terms before sending private reference media.

Bria API

  1. Send the key in the api_token header, not as Authorization: Bearer. Only /v2/image/verify and /v2/video/verify work without it
  2. Expect 202 with request_id and status_url from v2 endpoints. Poll GET /v2/status/{request_id} every 1 to 2 seconds, or pass sync: true
  3. Status polls count towards the per-endpoint limit (10 a minute on Free, 60 on Pay-as-you-go), so prefer webhook_url for batches
  4. Download results promptly. Image URLs expire after 3 days by default, and legacy /v1/product/* results after 1 hour
  5. Do not resend a failed POST blindly. There is no idempotency key, and the SDKs retry status polls only
