# Introduction

> The Mathify API generates math animations from natural language prompts.

Mathify's API lets you create AI-generated math animations programmatically:
send a prompt, get back a rendered video. It's the same generation pipeline
that powers the Mathify web app.

## What you can do

* Create a project and kick off a generation from a text prompt
* Poll for the rendered video and get a signed, downloadable URL
* Apply background music from Mathify's music catalog
* Read automated quality evaluation results (visual correctness, design,
  engagement rubric) for any fragment

## Base URL

```
https://mathify.dev/api/v1
```

## Before you start

* Every write endpoint (creating a project, sending a message, applying music)
  requires a positive credits balance (or a usage-based subscription). See
  [mathify.dev/pricing](https://mathify.dev/pricing) for plan details.
* All endpoints require a user API key. See [Authentication](/docs/authentication)
  for how to generate one.

Head to [Quickstart](/docs/quickstart) to generate your first animation.
