An AI avatar video API that ends in a posted video
Pamba's REST API creates an AI avatar, turns a script into an avatar video, renders the final cut and can schedule it to TikTok and Instagram, all with one workspace API key. Generation spends credits from your plan. The same work is available to agents through Pamba's MCP server.
How does it work?
1. Make or pick an avatar
GET /avatarslists your avatars.POST /avatars/wizardsstarts a new one: describe the person, pick a look and a voice.2. Create projects from scripts
POST /projectscreates one or many projects for an avatar, as reviewable drafts or straight to a finished video.3. Generate and render
POST /projects/{projectId}/generate-clip-videos-asyncgenerates the clips, thenPOST /projects/{projectId}/renderrenders the video.GET /projects/{projectId}/render-jobs/latestreports progress.4. Or copy a format
Replication turns a reference TikTok into a new video with your avatar:
POST /projects/{projectId}/replication/generate.5. Post it
Schedule the result with
POST /projects/{projectId}/schedule(see the posting API page).

Questions
Do I have to post through Pamba?
No. Generating and rendering do not require scheduling anything. Posting through Pamba's accounts is a separate, optional step.
How much does a video cost?
It depends on length and model; GET /usage/pricing returns the live credit rates and the pricing page shows plan credit totals.
Can I use my own face or voice?
Avatars are described and generated. Do not create an avatar of a real person without their consent; the Acceptable Use Policy covers this.
