title: Heista Power Source API
version: 1.0.0
description: 'Creative intelligence as an API. Decode any video ad, extract brand intelligence from any URL or document, generate scripts in any brand''s voice, and browse the decoded corpus for free.
## Surfaces
- **Decode** — turn any video ad URL into a structural formula. Beats, hooks, psychology, visual playbook.
- **PowerSource** — 14-section brand intelligence from a URL, internal documents, or both.
- **Adscript** — generate 1–5 ad scripts from a proven structure + a PowerSource. Token-metered.
- **Files** — upload PDF/DOCX/TXT/MD for use in PowerSource docs mode.
- **Intelligence reads** — free corpus access (hook patterns, ad formulas, decoded ads).
- **Account** — credit balance, monthly usage, pricing.
## Pricing
- Decode: **$0.15** (≤60s) / **$0.20** (61–120s)
- PowerSource: **$1.00** (URL or docs only) / **$2.00** (URL + docs)
- Adscript: **token-metered**, typically **$0.02–$0.05** per script
- Intelligence reads, Files API: **free**
- Failed jobs auto-refund. Duplicate inputs (same org) return cached results at no charge.
## Authentication
Bearer header on every request:
```
Authorization: Bearer hst_live_your_key
```
Production keys are prefixed `hst_live_`; test keys are `hst_test_`. Get yours at heista.co/api-console.
## Errors
All errors follow RFC 9457 Problem Details. The same envelope shape across every endpoint; see the `ProblemDetails` schema.
Spending-cap and circuit-breaker errors include a `reason` field (`cap_hourly`, `cap_daily`, `cap_monthly`, `cap_key_daily`, `cap_key_monthly`, `circuit_open`). Insufficient-credits errors include `top_up_url`, `current_balance`, and `required` extensions.
## Rate limits
Per API key, per endpoint group. Every response carries `X-RateLimit-Limit`, `X-RateLimit-Remaining`, and `X-RateLimit-Reset` (epoch ms). On 429 you also get `Retry-After` (seconds).'

summary: Submit a PowerSource brand intelligence job
description: 'Three modes auto-detected from body shape:
- **URL only** → $1.00, ~75s
- **Documents only** (file_ids / document_urls / documents_inline) → $1.00, ~90s
- **URL + documents** → $2.00, ~130s
`context_url` is mutually exclusive with `url`: pass `url` to use the page as a primary source (URL or full mode), or `context_url` for supplementary live brand context when the documents are primary.
Optional `webhook_url` receives a signed POST when the job completes or fails — eliminates polling. See `webhooks.powersource_complete` below.'
