How do I get a Replicate API token?

Log in to the [**Replicate API Tokens page**](https://replicate.com/account/api-tokens) and click **Create API Token**. Copy the token immediately — it starts with `r8_` and won't be shown again.

How do I run a model prediction?

Use `create_prediction` with the model slug (e.g. "stability-ai/sdxl") and an input JSON object matching the model's schema. The prediction starts as 'starting', then 'processing', and finally 'succeeded' with output URLs. Use `get_prediction` to check status and retrieve results.

How do I find models for specific tasks?

Use `search_models` with a query like 'text-to-image', 'llm', 'music-generation' or 'video-generation'. You can also use `list_collections` to browse curated collections by category, and `get_collection` to see featured models in each collection.

Can I cancel a running prediction?

Yes! Use `cancel_prediction` with the prediction ID. This works for predictions that are 'starting' or 'processing'. The status will change to 'canceled' and you won't be charged for the full compute time.
