Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`prompt`	string	Required	The prompt to use for generating the image. Be as descriptive as possible for best results.
`seed`	integer	Optional	The same seed and the same prompt given to the same version of Stable Diffusion will output the same image every time. · Default: null
`loras`	object[]	Optional	The list of LoRA weights to use. · Default: []
`format`	string	Optional	The format of the generated image. · Options: jpeg, png · Default: "jpeg" jpegpng

Output Schema

Field	Type	Description
`id`	string	Unique identifier for the generation task
`status`	string	Task status: pending, running, completed, failed, timeout
`model`	string	Model used for the generation
`outputs`	array	Array of output items
`outputs[].url`	string	URL of the generated artifact
`outputs[].content_type`	string	MIME type (e.g. image/png, video/mp4)
`error`	object \| null	Error details if failed, null on success
`error.type`	string	Machine-readable error type code
`error.message`	string	Human-readable error description

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, or timeout
Retrieve — Read outputs from the completed response
