replicate

Replicate Node.js client

A Node.js client for Replicate. It lets you run models from your Node.js code, and everything else you can do with Replicate's HTTP API.

Warning This library can't interact with Replicate's API directly from a browser. For more information about how to build a web application check out our "Build a website with Next.js" guide.

Installation

Install it from npm:

npm install replicate

Usage

Create the client:

import Replicate from "replicate";

const replicate = new Replicate({
  // get your token from https://replicate.com/account
  auth: process.env.REPLICATE_API_TOKEN,
});

Run a model and await the result:

const model = "stability-ai/stable-diffusion:27b93a2413e7f36cd83da926f3656280b2931564ff050bf9575f1fdf9bcd7478";
const input = {
  prompt: "a 19th century portrait of a raccoon gentleman wearing a suit",
};
const output = await replicate.run(model, { input });
// ['https://replicate.delivery/pbxt/GtQb3Sgve42ZZyVnt8xjquFk9EX5LP0fF68NTIWlgBMUpguQA/out-0.png']

You can also run a model in the background:

let prediction = await replicate.predictions.create({
  version: "27b93a2413e7f36cd83da926f3656280b2931564ff050bf9575f1fdf9bcd7478",
  input: {
    prompt: "painting of a cat by andy warhol",
  },
});

Then fetch the prediction result later:

prediction = await replicate.predictions.get(prediction.id);

Or wait for the prediction to finish:

prediction = await replicate.wait(prediction);
console.log(prediction.output);
// ['https://replicate.delivery/pbxt/RoaxeXqhL0xaYyLm6w3bpGwF5RaNBjADukfFnMbhOyeoWBdhA/out-0.png']

To run a model that takes a file input, convert its data into a base64-encoded data URI:

import { promises as fs } from "fs";

// Read the file into a buffer
const data = await fs.readFile("path/to/image.png", "utf-8");
// Convert the buffer into a base64-encoded string
const base64 = data.toString("base64");
// Set MIME type for PNG image
const mimeType = "image/png";
// Create the data URI
const dataURI = `data:${mimeType};base64,${base64}`;

const model = "nightmareai/real-esrgan:42fed1c4974146d4d2414e2be2c5277c7fcf05fcc3a73abf41610695738c1d7b";
const input = {
  image: dataURI,
};
const output = await replicate.run(model, { input });
// ['https://replicate.delivery/mgxm/e7b0e122-9daa-410e-8cde-006c7308ff4d/output.png']

API

Constructor

const replicate = new Replicate(options);

name	type	description
options.auth	string	Required. API access token
options.userAgent	string	Identifier of your app. Defaults to replicate-javascript/${packageJSON.version}
options.baseUrl	string	Defaults to https://api.replicate.com/v1
options.fetch	function	Fetch function to use. Defaults to globalThis.fetch

The client makes requests to Replicate's API using fetch. By default, the globalThis.fetch function is used, which is available on Node.js 18 and later, as well as Cloudflare Workers, Vercel Edge Functions, and other environments.

On earlier versions of Node.js and other environments where global fetch isn't available, you can install a fetch function from an external package like cross-fetch and pass it to the fetch option in the constructor.

import Replicate from "replicate";
import fetch from "cross-fetch";

const replicate = new Replicate({
  // get your token from https://replicate.com/account
  auth: process.env.REPLICATE_API_TOKEN,
  fetch: fetch,
});

replicate.paginate

Pass another method as an argument to iterate over results that are spread across multiple pages.

This method is implemented as an async generator function, which you can use in a for loop or iterate over manually.

// iterate over paginated results in a for loop
for await (const page of replicate.paginate(replicate.predictions.list)) {
  /* do something with page of results */
}

// iterate over paginated results one at a time
let paginator = replicate.paginate(replicate.predictions.list);
const page1 = await paginator.next();
const page2 = await paginator.next();
// etc.

replicate.request

const response = await replicate.request(route, parameters);

name	type	description
options.route	string	Required. REST API endpoint path.
options.parameters	object	URL, query, and request body parameters for the given route.

The replicate.request() method is used by the other methods to interact with the Replicate API. You can call this method directly to make other requests to the API.

TypeScript

The Replicate constructor and all replicate.* methods are fully typed.
