Quick Start

The PatentFig AI API lets you generate patent-office-style figures from text and convert existing images — vectorize to SVG/DXF/PDF, AI-upscale, and export filing-ready raster formats. All endpoints are synchronous REST calls that return JSON.

• Base URL: https://patentfig.ai/api/v1
• Auth: Authorization: Bearer pfig_xxx
• Billing: each call consumes credits from your account balance
• Spec: OpenAPI (YAML) · OpenAPI (JSON)

1. Create an API key

Go to Settings → API Keys and create a key. The key is shown once — store it securely.

2. Check connectivity

curl https://patentfig.ai/api/v1/credits \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer pfig_xxx"

{ "success": true, "data": { "balance": 500 } }

3. Generate your first figure

curl -X POST https://patentfig.ai/api/v1/figures \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer pfig_xxx" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "prompt": "Exploded view of a wireless earbud charging case showing the lid, hinge, charging coil, and battery",
    "output": "svg"
  }'

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "url": "https://cdn.patentfig.ai/api/…/….svg",
    "format": "svg",
    "svg": "<svg …>",
    "creditsConsumed": 10
  }
}

Generation can take up to a few minutes for complex figures — set your HTTP client timeout to at least 300 seconds.
