Get Started with the Meshy API

Our API is used regularly across a myriad of domains and use cases. Whether it's Text to 3D, Image to 3D, or AI texturing, our API is continually evolving to create the most seamless experience for our users.

Quickstart

Quickly generate 3D assets programmatically within minutes using a straightforward API implementation.

Manage Usage

Keep track of your credit usage and enable automatic refills once it's depleted.

Integrations

Use Meshy directly in traditional 3D software or game engines like Blender and Unity.

API Capabilities

Our API is used regularly across a myriad of domains and use cases. Whether it's Text to 3D, Image to 3D, or AI texturing, our API is continually evolving to create the most seamless experience for our users.

Text to 3D

Create and manage 3D assets at scale within your own applications using our text to 3D endpoint.

Try Before You Build

Test Meshy API endpoints live in the Playground before you write a line of integration code. Tune a prompt, generate a model, and copy the working request straight into your codebase.

Try the Playground

Available on Pro and higher.

Monitor Every Request You Make

Track success rates, latency, and credit usage across every API call your integration makes. Open any task to inspect its full request, response, and timeline.

Usage & Credits

Pricing

Simple usage-based pricing, billed in credits — included with every plan, so you only pay for what you generate. See plan pricing for how credits are acquired.

Our most capable standard models — the default for new projects.

Image Generation
From 3 credits / image

Generate and edit concept images before taking them to 3D.

  • Text to Image3–9
  • Image to Image3–12
3D Generation
From 20 credits / mesh

Production-ready meshes from text, image, or multi-image input.

  • Text to 3D20
  • Image to 3D20
  • Multi-Image to 3D20
Texturing
From 10 credits / task

Texture meshes in any 3D flow, or retexture existing models — priced by resolution.

  • 2K10
  • 4K10
  • 8KNEW15
Model Processing
From 1 credit / task

Optimize topology, convert formats, and resize any mesh.

  • Remesh5
  • Convert file type1
  • Resize1
Animation
From 3 credits / task

Auto-rig characters and apply animations, ready for game engines.

  • Auto-Rigging5
  • Animation3

3D Generation prices cover mesh generation — texture costs are listed under Texturing.
Model series affects 3D Generation only; every other category costs the same across series.

Building at scale? Enterprise volume pricing is available for committed usage.

Frequently Asked Questions

You will need to first create a Meshy account and be on the pro tier or above to use the API. After you log in, you can navigate to the "API" page at the top and you will see a section to create an API key. Please also consult our API docs for more detailed instructions

Every Meshy API task call costs credits, which can be purchased at any time. Credit costs vary by endpoint and model. For example, Image to 3D on Meshy 7 costs 20 credits without texture and 30 with texture (35 for 8K texture). Older models cost less. See the full pricing breakdown for every endpoint.

Should you require a customized solution requiring higher volume API usage, please contact our team, and we can discuss your needs with you.

We have rate limits in place on our API to help create a smooth experience across all our users. Rate limits are important and ensure our service remains safe/sound, grants everyone fair access, and maintains reliable service. Rate limits are measured in 2 ways: requests per second (RPS) and queued tasks. Pro users have a rate limit of 20 RPS and a maximum of 10 queued tasks. Premium users have a rate limit of 20 RPS and a maximum of 30 queued tasks. Ultra users have a rate limit of 20 RPS and a maximum of 100 queued tasks. Studio users have a rate limit of 20 RPS and a maximum of 60 queued tasks. Enterprise users have a rate limit of 100 RPS and a customizable number of queued tasks that defaults to 50. Exceeding limits in API calls will throw a 429 Too Many Requests response from our API. Please see our Rate Limits docs for more details.

If you are not an Enterprise user, your models generated through our API will only be retained for a maximum of 3 days. After this period, API-generated models will be deleted automatically from our servers. We recommend you download and store your models locally if you need them for a longer duration. Enterprise users can retain their assets indefinitely.

No. Your API inputs and generated models are never used for training.

We currently offer plugins for both Blender and Unity. You can find more details about the Blender plugin here and the Unity plugin here.

Your API-generated assets will be deleted automatically after 3 days if you are not an enterprise user.

No, we do not support CORS requests to our API from other sites.

Yes. Use the API Playground to try endpoints live in your browser: tune prompts, generate models, and copy ready-to-use code before you integrate. Available on Pro and higher.
