Overview

REST API reference for ShortFast.

All endpoints live under the production base URL:

https://app.shortfast.com/api/v1

Every request must carry an API key as a bearer token. Endpoints are grouped by resource in the sidebar, and each page documents parameters, request and response schemas, and code examples, with an interactive playground to try requests against your own workspace.

The raw OpenAPI specification is available at https://app.shortfast.com/openapi-shortfast.yaml for Postman, Insomnia, or code generators.

Create a blueprint POST

Creates an automation blueprint from a brief, exactly like `POST /videos` but flagged as a blueprint, and queues its first generation. The brief may be sent flat or nested under `brief`, and must carry at least a `prompt` or a `text` script. The new blueprint has no schedule and no destination yet, so its `health.blockers` lists what is still missing. Set them with `PATCH /automations/{id}` before activating.
