# Civiverse > Civiverse (https://civiverse.com) is an adults-only (18+) AI image, story and character-chat site. Chat lets adults talk with AI characters and ask for pictures (first 15 messages free, then 5 a day free, then Buzz). Image Studio makes images from text prompts with many models and LoRAs, Storybook turns a one-line idea into an illustrated story, and FipFap is a community feed of shared images. Every character must be a fictional adult. New accounts get 500 free credits. Paid credit packs are crypto-only. Civiverse has a REST API (Bearer API key) for bots, agents and automations. A human account owner signs up, then creates an API key under Settings > External API Access. Agents cannot self-register. Content rules are enforced server-side (adult characters only, no real people or celebrities, no minors) and cannot be bypassed through the API. ## For agents and developers - [API documentation (human readable)](https://civiverse.com/api-docs): endpoints, auth, credit costs, polling pattern - [OpenAPI 3.1 spec](https://civiverse.com/openapi.yaml): machine-readable description of /api/v1 - [Public image feed (JSON)](https://civiverse.com/api/public/feed.json): recently shared, moderated images, no auth - [Public image feed (RSS)](https://civiverse.com/feed.xml) and [Atom](https://civiverse.com/atom.xml) - [Public model catalog](https://civiverse.com/api/models): models and LoRAs available on the platform (JSON, no auth) - [Sitemap](https://civiverse.com/sitemap.xml) ## Quick start 1.
