Civitai Generator Python Client

A Python client for Civitai's generator to run Civitai models from your Python code.

Quick Start

To get started with the Civitai Generator Python Client, you can use the following resources:

  • Google Colab Notebook: Jump into a pre-configured environment with a live notebook to try out the Civitai SDK.

    Open In Colab
  • Streamlit Demo: See the Civitai SDK in action with a live Streamlit app demo. View Streamlit Demo

Installation

pip install civitai-py

Authenticate

Before running any Python scripts that use the API, you need to set your Civitai API token in your environment.

Grab your token from civitai.com/user/account and set it as an environment variable:

export CIVITAI_API_TOKEN=<your token>

Requirements

  • Python 3.7+

Usage

Import the Civitai SDK:

import civitai

Create a txt2img job:

input = {
"model": "urn:air:sd1:checkpoint:civitai:4201@130072",
"params": {
"prompt": "RAW photo, face portrait photo of 26 y.o woman, wearing black dress, happy face, hard shadows, cinematic shot, dramatic lighting",
"negativePrompt": "(deformed iris, deformed pupils, semi-realistic, cgi, 3d, render, sketch, cartoon, drawing, anime, mutated hands and fingers:1.4), (deformed, distorted, disfigured:1.3)",
"scheduler": "EulerA",
"steps": 20,
"cfgScale": 7,
"width": 512,
"height": 512,
"clipSkip": 2
}
}

Run a model:

response = civitai.image.create(input)

Using Additional Networks

The SDK supports additional networks: LoRA, VAE, Hypernetwork, Textual Inversion, LyCORIS, Checkpoint, and LoCon.

To use any of the networks availabe on Civitai, simply add the additionalNetworks field into the input:

input = {
"model": "urn:air:sd1:checkpoint:civitai:4384@128713",
"params": {
"prompt": "masterpiece, best quality, 1girl, IncrsAhri, multiple tails, fox tail, korean clothes, skirt, braid, arms behind back",
"negativePrompt": "(worst quality:1.4), (low quality:1.4), simple background, bad anatomy",
"scheduler": "EulerA",
"steps": 25,
"cfgScale": 7,
"width": 512,
"height": 768,
"seed": -1,
"clipSkip": 2
},
"additionalNetworks": {
"urn:air:sd1:lora:civitai:162141@182559": {
"type": "Lora",
"strength": 1.0
}
}
}

In the case of Lora and LoCon networks, set the strength of the network; for TextualInversion, set the triggerWord of the network.


civitai.image.create

Run a model with inputs you provide.

response = civitai.image.create(options)
nametypedescription
modelstring | nullRequired. The Civitai model to use for generation.
params.promptstring | nullRequired. The main prompt for the image generation.
params.negativePromptstring | nullOptional. The negative prompt for the image generation.
params.schedulerScheduler | nullOptional. The scheduler algorithm to use.

Possible values are: EulerA, Euler, LMS, Heun, DPM2, DPM2A, DPM2SA, DPM2M, DPMSDE, DPMFast, DPMAdaptive, LMSKarras, DPM2Karras, DPM2AKarras, DPM2SAKarras, DPM2MKarras, DPMSDEKarras, DDIM, PLMS, UniPC, Undefined, LCM, DDPM, DEIS.
params.stepsnumber | nullOptional. The number of steps for the image generation process.
params.cfgScalenumber | nullOptional. The CFG scale for the image generation.
params.widthnumberRequired. The width of the generated image.
params.heightnumberRequired. The height of the generated image.
params.seednumber | nullOptional. The seed for the image generation process.
params.clipSkipnumber | nullOptional. The number of CLIP skips for the image generation.
callbackUrlstring | nullOptional. URL that will be invoked upon completion of this job
additionalNetworksImageJobNetworkParams | nullOptional. An associative list of additional networks, keyed by the AIR of the network. Each network is of type AssetType.
controlNetsArray<ImageJobControlNet> | nullOptional. An associative list of additional networks.

Additional Networks

additionalNetworksRecord<string, ImageJobNetworkParams>Optional. An associative list of additional networks, keyed by the AIR of the network. Each network is described by an ImageJobNetworkParams object.
typeAssetTypeOptional. The type of the asset.

Can be one of Lora, Hypernetwork, TextualInversion, Lycoris, Checkpoint, Vae, LoCon.
strengthnumberOptional. In case of Lora and LoCon, set the strength of the network.
triggerWordstringOptional. In case of a TextualInversion, set the trigger word of the network.

ControlNets

controlNetsArray<ImageJobControlNet>Optional. An array of control networks that can be applied to the image generation process.

Each ImageJobControlNet object in the array can have the following properties:
preprocessorImageTransformer | nullOptional. Specifies the image transformer to be applied as a preprocessor.

Possible values are Canny, DepthZoe, SoftedgePidinet, Rembg.
weightnumber | nullOptional. The weight of the control net.
startStepnumber | nullOptional. The step at which the control net starts to apply.
endStepnumber | nullOptional. The step at which the control net stops applying.
imageUrlstring | nullOptional. The URL of the image associated with the controlnet.

civitai.jobs.get

Fetches job details based on a provided token or job ID. If both are provided, the token takes precedence.

job_id = "your_job_id_here"
response = civitai.jobs.get(id=job_id)

# OR

token = "your_token_here"
response = civitai.jobs.get(token=token)

civitai.jobs.query

Retrieve a collection of jobs by querying properties, e.g., userId. You can optionally include a detailed boolean flag to get detailed information about the jobs.

query = {
"properties": {
"userId": 4 # Querying by userId
}
}

detailed = False # Optional boolean flag to get detailed job definitions. False by default.

response = civitai.jobs.query(detailed=detailed, query_jobs_request=query)

civitai.jobs.cancel

Cancel a job by its jobId.

response = civitai.jobs.cancel(job_id)

This method cancels a job that is currently scheduled or running. It requires the jobId of the job you wish to cancel. On successful cancellation, it returns a response object indicating the cancellation status.
