Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

poppify-build-reel scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

When `status === "complete"`, you get a `videoUrl` (signed GCS URL, valid ~7 days — `videoUrlExpiresAtIso` in the response has the exact expiry). Hand it to the user right away and tell them to save it before it expires;

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 198 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Building a Poppify reel — the canonical flow

Poppify is FREE for everything except confirm (1 seed base render) and the generate_* tools (5 seeds each for AI image / music / voiceover; animate_slide is 10 seeds per clip). You can iterate the configuration infinitely before render and not spend anything.

Tier awareness — check what's doable first. Not every Poppify connector exposes AI generation. Before using add_slide_image, animate_slide, add_soundtrack, add_narration, or set_narration_voice, confirm they exist — call get_capabilities (it reports only what this tier can do) or check the tool list. If they're absent (the composer tier), build entirely from the user's own photos + search_visual_library / search_live_library / get_music_library; never assume a generator exists.

Think in SLIDES, not a photo pool. Every beat owns its image at slides[i].imageUrl. Attach or swap a beat's visual with update_slides({action:"set_image", slideIndex, imageUrl}), or set several at once via apply_session_patch({slides:[{index, imageUrl}]}). For insert/splice edits to the slide sequence, use apply_session_patch({visualEdits:[...]})set_image is the way to set or swap an existing beat's image.

Step 1 — Mint a wallet (one-time, free)

If the user hasn't registered yet:

register()                       // optional: { label: "claude" } for provenance

Returns apiKey and signupBonusUrl. Surface the signupBonusUrl — opening it and signing in with Google grants 50 free seeds (≈ 50 base renders, or ~3 fully-loaded reels WITH AI image + AI music + AI voiceover at ~16 seeds each). Don't ask the user to pay before they've claimed this.

Store the apiKey — every subsequent call needs it.

Step 2 — Start a session

Photo-led (user has photos already):

start_session_from_photos({
  apiKey,
  photos: [...],            // data: URLs or http(s) URLs, 1–10
  goal: "educate" | "sell" | "connect" | "prove" | "entertain",
  audience: "...",          // optional but biases narrative meaningfully
  theme: "...",             // optional free-text intent
  platform: "instagram" | "tiktok" | "youtube_shorts" | "facebook",
  aspectRatio: "9:16" | "16:9"   // OPTIONAL — defaults to 9:16 (vertical). See below.
})

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
