File Requirements

Python Example

import requests
import time

API_KEY = "your_api_key"
BASE_URL = "https://api.worldlabs.ai/marble/v1"

def generate_world(prompt: str, model: str = "Marble 0.1-plus") -> dict:
    """Generate a world and return the world data."""
    headers = {"WLT-Api-Key": API_KEY, "Content-Type": "application/json"}

    # Start generation
    response = requests.post(
        f"{BASE_URL}/worlds:generate",
        headers=headers,
        json={
            "model": model,
            "world_prompt": {
                "type": "text",
                "text_prompt": prompt
            }
        }
    )
    response.raise_for_status()
    operation_id = response.json()["operation_id"]

    # Poll until complete
    while True:
        status_response = requests.get(
            f"{BASE_URL}/operations/{operation_id}",
            headers={"WLT-Api-Key": API_KEY}
        )
        status_response.raise_for_status()
        result = status_response.json()

        if result.get("done"):
            if "error" in result and result["error"]:
                raise Exception(f"Generation failed: {result['error']}")
            return result["response"]

        time.sleep(5)

# Usage
world = generate_world("A mystical forest with glowing mushrooms")
print(f"World created: {world['world_id']}")
print(f"View at: {world['world_marble_url']}")
