# Evaluating the API w/Webapp

Considering to use the API and want to evaluate it before purchasing an API key? A good way to try the API is through the Sloyd web app. The web uses the same create and edit API endpoints that you would use (although there could be some differences - the endpoints the web app uses can be on a different version than the external api - they are relatively similar).

1. Login to the [Sloyd web application](http://v2.app.sloyd.ai/) and go to Create.
2. Use this input box to generate a model from text:

3. When you have a model on the canvas, use this input box to edit the shape of the model with text instructions:

4. Change the toggle on the top right corner to "Material" to edit textures, colors and materials with a text prompt:
