Quick start

Call the Kiwi API

Set MAGE_API_KEY, submit to /kiwi/generate, and poll status_url until the request completes.

cURL
STATUS_URL=$(curl --request POST 'https://api.mage.space/v1/kiwi/generate' \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $MAGE_API_KEY" \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "prompt": "A slow push-in on a lighthouse at dusk, waves breaking below",
  "aspect_ratio": "16:9",
  "duration": "5",
  "model_id": "kiwi"
}' | jq -r '.status_url')

# Repeat until status is "completed"; result.url is the file
curl "$STATUS_URL" --header "Authorization: Bearer $MAGE_API_KEY"
Python
import os, time, requests

headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['MAGE_API_KEY']}"}
request = requests.post(
    "https://api.mage.space/v1/kiwi/generate",
    headers=headers,
    json={
      "prompt": "A slow push-in on a lighthouse at dusk, waves breaking below",
      "aspect_ratio": "16:9",
      "duration": "5",
      "model_id": "kiwi"
    },
).json()

while request["status"] in ("queued", "in_progress"):
    time.sleep(3)
    request = requests.get(request["status_url"], headers=headers).json()

print(request["status"], request["result"] and request["result"]["url"])
JavaScript
const headers = {
  Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.MAGE_API_KEY}`,
  'Content-Type': 'application/json',
};
let request = await fetch('https://api.mage.space/v1/kiwi/generate', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "prompt": "A slow push-in on a lighthouse at dusk, waves breaking below",
    "aspect_ratio": "16:9",
    "duration": "5",
    "model_id": "kiwi"
  }),
}).then((response) => response.json());

while (['queued', 'in_progress'].includes(request.status)) {
  await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 3000));
  request = await fetch(request.status_url, { headers }).then((r) => r.json());
}

console.log(request.status, request.result?.url);

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does the Kiwi API cost?

A Kiwi request at the default settings (Kiwi) costs 270 Gems, about $0.27. Other resolutions, durations, and variants change the price; the response reports the exact charge. A generation that fails is refunded; one Mage's content policy blocks is not.

What is the Kiwi API endpoint?

POST https://api.mage.space/v1/kiwi/generate with an Authorization: Bearer header carrying your Mage API key. The response includes a status_url to poll for the result.

Which Kiwi models can I call?

kiwi. The default is Kiwi.

Does Kiwi support reference images or characters?

Kiwi accepts first_image. Kiwi takes no @handle mentions.

Can I use Kiwi from Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. Connect the Mage MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Grok, or Cursor and ask for Kiwi by name. Your assistant reads its options with get_model and quotes the price before it generates.

How long are Kiwi results kept?

Results and inputs are kept for 30 days. Download anything you want to keep to your own storage.
