Can I retrieve PLY files from the API?
The World Labs API currently returns scene geometry in .spz (3D Gaussian Splat) format only. Direct export of .ply files via the API is not supported. For production or large-scale workflows, .spz files should be converted programmatically using existing libraries:- C++: https://github.com/nianticlabs/spzJavaScript
- TypeScript: https://github.com/arrival-space/spz-js
How does API billing work?
Billing for the World API is separate from billing for the Marble web app.- Credits purchased for the Marble app cannot be used with the API
- API usage requires credits purchased through the World Labs Platform
What is the difference between the Marble 0.1-mini and Marble 0.1-plus models? When should I use each?
World Labs offers two model variants for scene generation:
Marble 0.1-miniis optimized for speed and cost. It’s best suited for rapid iteration, previews, testing, and large-scale batch jobs where throughput matters more than maximum fidelity.Marble 0.1-plusprioritizes higher visual quality and detail. It’s recommended for final assets, production scenes, and use cases where accuracy and realism are important.
Marble 0.1-mini during development and experimentation, then switch to Marble 0.1-plus for final or customer-facing outputs.
