6 parameters · 1 required · 5 optional
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
prompt | string | Required | The prompt to generate an image from. |
seed | integer | Optional | The seed to use for generation. If not provided, a random seed will be used. |
aspect_ratio | string | Optional | The aspect ratio of the generated image. · Options: 21:9, 16:9, 3:2, 4:3, 5:4, 1:1, 4:5, 3:4, 2:3, 9:16 21:916:93:24:35:41:14:53:42:39:16 |
output_format | string | Optional | The format of the generated image. · Options: jpeg, png · Default: "jpeg" jpegpng |
expansion_model | string | Optional | Which model expands the prompt. 'None' disables expansion; 'Medium' uses the fast magic prompt model. · Options: None, Medium · Default: "Medium" NoneMedium |

Async Workflow
This model uses asynchronous execution. Submit a request and poll for the result.
- Submit — POST to /v1/run, receive an
id - Poll — GET /v1/run/{id} until status is
completed,failed, ortimeout - Retrieve — Read
outputsfrom the completed response
