Characters & products
Characters keep a person consistent across every image and video; products keep an item exactly as it is. Create them once and reference them by ID.
Characters from photos
Send three clear photos of the same person — front-facing, good light, no sunglasses, ideally different angles. Creation is free and takes a few seconds while Orior analyses the face.
curl https://api.oriorai.com/v1/characters \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $ORIOR_API_KEY" -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"name":"Ava","gender":"female","images":["upl_…","upl_…","upl_…"],"voice_key":"voice-aria"}'Preset characters
No photos? GET /characters/presets lists ready portraits and customisable looks. Ready portraits are used as-is; customisable ones take skin tone, hair and eye colour, body type and age range. A preset character costs 2 credits.
curl https://api.oriorai.com/v1/characters/preset \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $ORIOR_API_KEY" -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"name":"Luna","base_id":"luna","customization":{"skin_tone":"light","hair_color":"blonde","eye_color":"green","body_type":"slim","age_range":"young"}}'Using a character
- Images:
character_idinPOST /images. Add ascene_imageto copy a pose and setting. - Videos:
character_idinPOST /videos. Orior generates a first frame of the character, then animates it. - Voice: the character’s
voice_keyis used wherever it speaks. List voices withGET /voices. - Social: the character owns the accounts it publishes to — see Social publishing.
Prefer character_image for one-off faces you don’t want to store; prefer character_id for anything repeated — it is faster and more consistent.
Products
Send 1–3 photos of the product, ideally on a plain background with the label visible. Creation is free.
curl https://api.oriorai.com/v1/products \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $ORIOR_API_KEY" -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"name":"Glow Serum","images":["upl_…"],"category":"skincare"}'Product in hand
curl https://api.oriorai.com/v1/images \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $ORIOR_API_KEY" -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"prompt":"She holds the serum next to her cheek, bathroom mirror selfie","character_id":"Qx8p2LmN4vRt","product_id":"Pm3kT9aQ","aspect_ratio":"4:5","resolution":"2K"}'The same pair works in POST /videos for product videos.
Tips for good results
- Describe action, setting, light and camera in the prompt; identity comes from the character.
- Use
reference_imageswith tags for extra items (“wearing the jacket from @ref1”). - Use 2K for social feeds; 4K costs 3 credits instead of 2 and is best for print or cropping.
- Check a generation’s timeline when a result looks off — a skipped analysis explains a weaker match.
