Start Generation is a api from gamma that teams use to call start generation through one stable api surface through one SkillBoss endpoint.
It returns structured output from model gamma/start_generation, supports pay as you go billing, and gives agents a stable invocation contract instead of vague routing hints.
Call Start Generation through one stable API surface
Ship integrations faster without vendor account setup
Use the capability directly inside human and agent workflows
Direct Answer
Start Generation is a api exposed through SkillBoss. Use it when you need to call start generation through one stable api surface, want one stable request surface, and need a model ID and billing path that both humans and agents can act on quickly.
Best Fit
You want Start Generation behind one stable SkillBoss endpoint instead of wiring up gamma directly.
You need a canonical page with copyable request shape, pricing context, and model ID for developer handoff or agent routing.
You are comfortable using the standard API key path for token-based or variable-cost execution.
Watchouts
This API is not a strong x402 or Payment Later fit today because the final cost is not deterministic before execution.
If you need a different capability category, use the catalog and vendor links below instead of forcing the wrong endpoint.
Capability Snapshot
Endpoint
POST /v1/run
Auth
Bearer API key
Model
gamma/start_generation
Payments
Standard API key
Canonical URL
https://www.skillboss.co/ja/use/start-generation-api
Step 1
Use https://api.skillboss.co/v1/run with a standard JSON body and your SkillBoss API key.
Step 2
Set "model": "gamma/start_generation" so your app or agent routes to the intended capability consistently.
Step 3
This API should use the standard API key flow before machine payments. Keep the standard API key flow as the default unless your agent specifically benefits from machine-native payment rails.
Request Shape
{
"model": "gamma/start_generation",
"inputs": {
"prompt": "Run a sample request with Start Generation."
}
}Example Response
{
"id": "run_123",
"output": {
"status": "completed"
}
}For Humans
Developers embedding Start Generation inside apps quickly
Operators running repeatable workflows from one API key
Teams standardizing on one billing and auth layer instead of many
For Agents
Start Generation inside agent loops that need a stable capability URL
Automations that benefit from one auth model across many APIs
Multi-step agents that need direct, copyable invocation patterns
Call Start Generation through one stable API surface
Ship integrations faster without vendor account setup
Use the capability directly inside human and agent workflows

print(response.json())Payment Options
This API should use the standard API key flow before machine payments. This endpoint is priced by tokens or variable execution cost, so the final price is not deterministic before the run completes. That makes x402 and Payment Later secondary options rather than the primary billing path.
x402
Status: Not recommended. Use x402 when an agent can know the exact price before execution and pay onchain request by request.
Payment Later
Status: Not recommended. Use Payment Later when an agent should pay with card-backed machine payments instead of prefunded crypto.
# Start Generation uses variable or token-based pricing,
# so x402 is not the primary path for this model today.

Agents
Use the same capability inside agent tools instead of maintaining separate provider setup.
Canonical
The canonical page, model ID, and request surface are visible above the fold, which reduces ambiguity for searchers and agents.
Extractable
Direct-answer, best-fit, watchout, and invocation sections expose the critical facts in short standalone passages.
Operational
Payment guidance is separated from quick start, so users can launch first and choose x402 or Payment Later only when it actually fits.
Start Generation is a api available through SkillBoss. Teams use it for call start generation through one stable api surface without managing separate vendor credentials.
Send a POST request to https://api.skillboss.co/v1/run with "model": "gamma/start_generation" and an "inputs" object containing the capability-specific parameters shown in the request example on this page.
Successful responses return a run identifier plus a structured output payload. The exact shape varies by capability, and this page shows a representative example response block so developers and agents can plan parsing correctly.
Start Generation uses pay as you go pricing on SkillBoss. Check the pricing card and payment section on this page before wiring billing logic into your app or agent.
This API should use the standard API key flow before machine payments. This endpoint is priced by tokens or variable execution cost, so the final price is not deterministic before the run completes. That makes x402 and Payment Later secondary options rather than the primary billing path.
The underlying vendor for this endpoint is gamma. SkillBoss provides the unified API surface, billing layer, and canonical discovery page for Start Generation.
Get your API key, call gamma/start_generation, and use this capability in both product workflows and AI agents.
