# Build your own AI app builder with the v0 Platform API

By Steven Van · 2025-07-23

Vercel's beta v0 Platform API and v0-sdk TypeScript library let developers build custom app builders on v0's code-generation pipeline.

Vercel has opened up the code-generation pipeline behind [v0](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/vercel>) with a new Platform API, currently in beta. It's a REST interface that wraps v0's full generation lifecycle, from prompt to project to code files to deployment, and every app built through it is backed by a v0.dev chat link.

- **Natural language app generation**: send a prompt and get back parsed code files plus a live demo URL

- **Bring your own context**: start chats from existing source code, a git repo, or the shadcn registry, or attach files to individual messages

- **Projects and deployments**: create Vercel projects, link them to a chat, and trigger deploys

Developers access it through the **v0-sdk** TypeScript library (pnpm install v0-sdk), authenticated with a **V0\_API\_KEY** from v0's account settings. Full details are in the [v0 API docs](<https://v0.dev/docs/v0-platform-api>).
