Overview
9pic-api is the base skill for any call to https://api.9pic.ai. It covers how to create and send an API key, how organisation and event IDs work, and how to read the shared response envelope, pagination, and errors.
If you are building a guest-facing gallery, also install Participant App. If you sell photos through your own checkout, also install Media Selling.
