Daily Shot

Generate a single styled portrait of a model in a scene. Each shot is either the before or after variant.

Cost: 10 credits per shot.

Authentication

All requests require an API key passed as a Bearer token. Create keys in your dashboard. Each key is shown once at creation — store it securely.

Header

Authorization: Bearer rm_live_your_key_here

Rate limits

Burst: 1 request per 2 seconds, per API key, per POST endpoint. POST /api/v1/dailyshot/generate and POST /api/v1/reel/compose use independent buckets, so firing one of each inside the same window does not trip the limiter. A 429 carries Retry-After: <seconds> and a retry_after_seconds field in the JSON body.
Concurrency: max 5 in-flight tasks per account, across all tools.
GET endpoints are not rate-limited. /dailyshot/options, /reel/templates, and /tasks/{id} can be called as often as needed. Recommended poll interval: 2 seconds.

List Options

GET /api/v1/dailyshot/options

Returns the effects, models, and scenes you can supply to /v1/dailyshot/generate. The payload rarely changes, so callers may cache it.

Generate a Daily Shot

POST /api/v1/dailyshot/generate

Each call creates one shot. To get both before and after, fire two requests in parallel. Returns a 202 with a queued task id.

Request

curl -X POST https://reelmaxing.com/api/v1/dailyshot/generate \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer rm_live_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "effect_id": "looksmaxxing",
    "model_id": "lmx-1",
    "scene_id": "bathroom-mirror-headshot",
    "side": "after"
  }'

Response (202 Accepted)

{
  "task_id": "aBcDeFgHiJkLmNoP",
  "status": "queued",
  "estimated_time_seconds": 30,
  "credits": {
    "required": 10,
    "remaining": 820
  }
}

Two effects are currently available: looksmaxxing (sharper features) and weight-loss (leaner build). Swap effect_id and pair it with a matching model_id + scene_id from the options endpoint — the registry scopes each model and scene to exactly one effect.

Parameters

Field	Type	Required	Description
effect_id	string	Yes	Effect family id from `/v1/dailyshot/options`. Current values: `looksmaxxing`, `weight-loss`.
model_id	string	Yes	Model id; must belong to the chosen effect.
scene_id	string	Yes	Scene id from the options endpoint; must belong to the chosen effect.
side	string	Yes	`before` or `after`.

Poll for Results

GET /api/v1/tasks/{task_id}

Poll the task_id returned from the generate/compose call. Status progresses through queued → processing → complete (or failed). Recommended interval: 2 seconds.
