Krea Api

What This Skill Does

The Krea API skill for OpenClaw acts as a high-performance bridge between your local environment and Krea.ai’s powerful generative image infrastructure. Designed by fossilizedcarlos, this skill allows users to trigger complex image generation tasks—supporting state-of-the-art models like Flux, Imagen 4, and Ideogram 3.0—directly from the terminal or via Python integration. Unlike standard image generation tools, it features an asynchronous polling mechanism, ensuring that long-running jobs are managed gracefully without blocking your primary workspace. By utilizing only standard library components and avoiding external heavy-lifting dependencies, this skill maintains a small, secure, and highly predictable footprint on your machine.

Installation

To install, use the OpenClaw management command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/fossilizedcarlos/krea-api. Once installed, establish your credentials by creating a file at ~/.openclaw/credentials/krea.json with your Krea API key in the format {"apiKey": "KEY_ID:SECRET"}. Ensure you run chmod 600 ~/.openclaw/credentials/krea.json to secure this sensitive information. The skill is then ready for immediate use via the command line or as an imported module in your own scripts.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for developers building AI-assisted workflows, content creators needing rapid prototyping of visual assets, and system administrators looking to automate imagery generation for documentation or dashboards. It is particularly effective for generating consistent brand imagery using seed parameters or testing various AI model capabilities (like the photorealism of Flux versus the artistic style of Ideogram) within a single unified interface.

Example Prompts

1. "Generate a high-resolution 1024x1024 image of a cyberpunk street scene using the flux model with a guidance scale of 3.5."
2. "Create an image of a minimalist Japanese garden, set the seed to 12345 to ensure reproducibility, and use the imagen-4 model."
3. "List all available Krea AI models and then generate a portrait of a futuristic astronaut using the ideogram-3 model."

Tips & Limitations

For the best results, always define your dimensions within the allowed range (512-2368 pixels) to avoid API rejection. Remember that the skill operates as an async job manager; if a job takes time to process, the script will poll for the result. Be mindful of your Krea.ai billing usage, as high-frequency generation can consume your API credits quickly. The lack of webhook support is a design choice for security, meaning local polling is the standard, reliable way to track completion. Always keep your local credentials file restricted to your user account.
