Public Character API v1 Is Live
You can now talk to Verba characters outside Discord using API keys on api.verba.ink, including text, image generation, and session memory.
Two Public Endpoints for Character Interactions
We launched POST /v1/response for text completions and POST /v1/image for image generation so users can integrate Verba characters directly into their own apps.
- *Character targeting by vanity slug or vanity URL
- *Session continuity with optional session_id and server-side conversation memory
- *OpenAI-like payloads for familiar request and response formats
Self-Serve API Keys in Settings
API keys are now managed from your account settings without support tickets:
- *Create and copy once when issuing a new key
- *List and revoke active keys from the Security tab
- *Dual auth headers Authorization Bearer and x-api-key are both supported
This keeps onboarding simple while preserving secure key handling.
/v1/response Streaming and Session Memory
The response endpoint supports stream=true over Server-Sent Events and keeps context with session_id:
- *SSE chunks using chat.completion.chunk style events
- *Final usage event followed by data [DONE]
- *Plan gate streaming is available for Plus, Pro, and Ultra plans
Limits, Billing, and Safety Rules Remain Enforced
API access is available to all users, while limits and safeguards continue to apply:
- *Plan limits still control throughput, context, and token ceilings
- *Rate limits remain active to protect services from abuse
- *Billing behavior stays aligned with current plan and capability checks
