Authenticate first by calling authenticate(api_key), or pass rd_api_key directly on each tool call. For the highest quality stills prefer RD Pro styles (rd_pro__*); they support per-inference reference_images (up to 9) for character/style consistency. To animate an existing sprite prefer the advanced animation styles (rd_advanced_animation__walking/idle/jump/crouch/attack/destroy/custom_action/subtle_motion) started via start_inference_job and polled with get_inference_job — animations are long-running. Use fix_pixel_art on enlarged, softened, or AI-rendered pixel art to recover its native pixel grid. Post-process results with run_edit_tool: background_remover, color_style_transfer are $0.01; color_reducer, palette_converter, pixel_correction, k_centroid_downscale, rotate are free; image_edit, inpainting, outpainting, seam_tiling are premium. Before create_inference, use list_available_styles or get_style_usage(prompt_style) to confirm whether you should send input_image, per-inference reference_images, or style_reference_images. estimate_inference_cost and estimate_edit_tool_cost are always free — check prices before spending.
