Generate AI video ads and image ads through the Novoads REST API (api.novoads.ai). Use when the user wants a UGC video, a product video, a talking-head ad, an AI actor holding a product, a TikTok or Reels or Shorts ad, a static image ad, or asks to "make me an ad", "generate a video", or names a model (Seedance, Seedance 2.5, Seedance Mini, Omni Flash, Veo 3.1, Sora 2, GPT Image 2, Nano Banana Pro, Reve). Handles upload, dialogue approval, cost confirmation, generation, polling, QA, and…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Novoads REST API

Spend your effort on the prompt and on confirming the spoken line. The HTTP is mechanical and is written out below; the prompt is where the render is won or lost.

## Configuration

- **Base URL:** `https://api.novoads.ai/v1` (host overridable with `NOVOADS_BASE_URL` — host only, you append `/v1`).
- **Auth:** `Authorization: Bearer $NOVOADS_API_KEY`, read from `.env` at the repo root. The key is `novo_` plus 64 hex.
- **Check:** `./scripts/check-novoads-env.sh`
- **Never** print API keys, commit `.env`, or paste a key into `MASTER_CONTEXT.md`.

> **REST key required. A Novoads MCP connector is not a substitute.** If
> `NOVOADS_API_KEY` is missing or still the placeholder, stop before any
> generation work and tell the user: "Before continuing, create an API key at
> <https://novoads.ai/dashboard/settings?tab=api> and paste it into `.env`."
> That holds even when `mcp__novoads__*` tools are connected and authenticated in
> the session. Never call `mcp__novoads__*` tools from this repo's workflows: they
> are a different surface with different behavior, including the units they quote
> costs in. Repo installs verify with `./scripts/check-novoads-env.sh`; a solo

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add novoads/agent-skills/novoads-api@sha256:41184c2ed35668c6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.c0004d7, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
