 "summary": "Use the /api/v1 endpoints with a Bearer token or X-Api-Key header to run generation from your own code.",
 "who": "A developer or automation agent that needs to generate images or videos as one step in a larger workflow.",
 "problem": "Generation through the web interface does not fit into scripts, batch jobs, or other tools.",
 "outcome": "A script or agent that submits image or video generation through PRINTFILM and receives results from the API.",
 "steps": [
  "Start PRINTFILM and confirm the API is up with `http://localhost:8000/api/health`.",
  "Open the API docs at http://localhost:8000/docs and find the /api/v1 image and video generation routes.",
  "Obtain an API credential for your account, since the README names Bearer tokens and X-Api-Key headers but does not describe how to create one.",
  "Send a request to the image or video route with either an `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header or an `X-Api-Key: <key>` header. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Poll the task status through the API until the output is ready, then save the returned file."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the PRINTFILM API at http://localhost:8000/api/v1 and the route listed at http://localhost:8000/docs, submit one image generation request with the prompt <prompt> using the credential in <env var>. Return the task ID and the final result, and verify the response status is successful.",
