The Create Zite API lets you programmatically generate a Zite from a text prompt, optionally including files, a theme, and a name. The Zite is created instantly and a claim URL is returned so a user can take ownership of it. No authentication is required to call this endpoint.

​
Use cases

  • Embed app creation in your product — add a “Create an app” button to your website or tool that generates a Zite behind the scenes
  • Share prompts that generate apps — create shareable links or workflows that produce a Zite from a predefined prompt
  • Automate app generation — integrate Zite creation into scripts, pipelines, or automation workflows
  • Rapid prototyping — quickly spin up Zites from the command line or CI/CD

​
How it works

  1. Send a POST request with a prompt (and optional files, theme, or name)
  2. A new Zite is generated instantly
  3. The response includes a claimUrl — share it with a user so they can claim the Zite into their own account
