Capabilities

What's new in Midjourney.

No Discord, no bans

Apiframe manages the Midjourney accounts. You send a REST request; the risk, quirks, and Discord plumbing are handled for you.

Always the latest Midjourney

The API runs V8.2 (the default since July 2026), bolder aesthetics and more consistent image quality on top of V8.1’s HD 2K output and faster generation. Upgrades land with zero config changes.

Four images per job

Every generation returns the classic four-image grid, so one request gives your users a choice instead of a single roll.

The full toolset

Imagine, Vary, Pan, Zoom, and Upscale are all exposed through the API, the complete Midjourney workflow, not just text-to-image.

Video from any still

V8.1 added native image-to-video: animate any Midjourney image into a clip extendable to 21 seconds via the Midjourney Video model on the same key.

Six aspect ratios

From square 1:1 to ultrawide 21:9, covers social, print, and cinematic layouts without cropping.

Quickstart

How to call the Midjourney API.

Send one POST /v2/images/generate request with your API key. The call returns a jobId you can poll, or pass a webhook_url and the result is pushed to you the moment it's ready.

Swap midjourney for any other model and nothing else changes.

Real Apiframe reviews from Trustpilot and G2.

Very good Midjourney API

Very good Midjourney API. Using them on scale and I am very satisfied. I tried a lot of competitors, but this API works like a charm. Very good even for a high traffic app.

Ondřej Barták June 2024 Trustpilot

Easy, user-friendly API (particularly for Midjourney)

Very user-friendly API. Great tool, has its own Python library (in which sense convenient) and easy-to-use.

Verified customer November 2024 Trustpilot

Honestly the best AI API

They got every engine possible and it's great to have them all in one place.

Midjourney questions

What teams ask before shipping with Midjourney. Everything else lives in the docs.

Is there an official Midjourney API?

No. Midjourney does not offer an official public API. Apiframe provides a stable, fully managed API that connects to Midjourney on your behalf.

Will I get banned for using it?

No. Apiframe manages Midjourney accounts for you, so your own account is never at risk. We handle all the complexity.

Which Midjourney version does the API use?

The current V8.2, the default since July 24, 2026, bolder aesthetics and more consistent image quality on top of V8.1’s HD 2K output and faster generation. You always get the latest version automatically.

Do I need my own Midjourney subscription?

No. Access is fully managed, one Apiframe key covers Midjourney and every other model in the catalog, on one credit balance.

Can I generate video with Midjourney?

Yes. V8.1 added native image-to-video, exposed on Apiframe as the Midjourney Video model, animate any still and extend clips up to 21 seconds.

Can I use the images commercially?

Yes, subject to Midjourney's terms of service. Images are returned as PNG or JPG on our CDN and stored permanently at no extra cost.
