GPT Image 2 API

OpenAI SOTA image model. Photoreal output, dense text rendering, precise editing.

Integrate GPT Image 2 with a single API call — one key, one unified endpoint, and shared billing across every model on Apiframe.

model: "gpt-image-2"

What's special about GPT Image 2

  • Aspect ratios: 1:1, 3:2, 2:3.

Quick start

Send a single POST /v2/images/generate request with your API key to generate with GPT Image 2. The call returns a jobId you can poll or receive via webhook.

curl -X POST https://api.apiframe.ai/v2/images/generate \
  -H "X-API-Key: afk_your_api_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
        "prompt": "a sleek silver sports car on a coastal highway at sunset, hyper-realistic",
        "model": "gpt-image-2",
        "gptImage2Params": {
            "input_images": "https://example.com/input.jpg",
            "quality": "auto",
            "background": "auto",
            "number_of_images": 1
        }
    }'
import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.apiframe.ai/v2/images/generate",
    headers={
        "X-API-Key": "afk_your_api_key_here",
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    json={
        "prompt": "a sleek silver sports car on a coastal highway at sunset, hyper-realistic",
        "model": "gpt-image-2",
        "gptImage2Params": {
            "input_images": "https://example.com/input.jpg",
            "quality": "auto",
            "background": "auto",
            "number_of_images": 1
        }
    },
)
print(response.json())  # { "jobId": "...", "status": "QUEUED" }
const response = await fetch("https://api.apiframe.ai/v2/images/generate", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "X-API-Key": "afk_your_api_key_here",
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "prompt": "a sleek silver sports car on a coastal highway at sunset, hyper-realistic",
    "model": "gpt-image-2",
    "gptImage2Params": {
      "input_images": "https://example.com/input.jpg",
      "quality": "auto",
      "background": "auto",
      "number_of_images": 1
    }
  }),
});
const { jobId } = await response.json();
console.log(jobId);

Response & job lifecycle

Generation is asynchronous. A successful submission returns 202 Accepted with a jobId. Poll GET /v2/jobs/{id} (or supply a webhook_url) until the status is COMPLETED; the result field then holds the output URL(s).

1. Submission response (202)

{
  "jobId": "b2c3d4e5-f6a7-8901-bcde-f23456789012",
  "status": "QUEUED"
}

2. Poll for the result

curl https://api.apiframe.ai/v2/jobs/JOB_ID \
  -H "X-API-Key: afk_your_api_key_here"
import requests, time

while True:
    job = requests.get(
        "https://api.apiframe.ai/v2/jobs/JOB_ID",
        headers={"X-API-Key": "afk_your_api_key_here"},
    ).json()
    if job["status"] in ("COMPLETED", "FAILED"):
        break
    time.sleep(2)
print(job["result"])
let job;
do {
  await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 2000));
  job = await fetch("https://api.apiframe.ai/v2/jobs/JOB_ID", {
    headers: { "X-API-Key": "afk_your_api_key_here" },
  }).then((r) => r.json());
} while (job.status !== "COMPLETED" && job.status !== "FAILED");
console.log(job.result);

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the GPT Image 2 API.

Is there an API for GPT Image 2?

Yes. Apiframe exposes GPT Image 2 through a single REST endpoint (`POST /v2/images/generate` with `model: "gpt-image-2"`). You get one unified API, key, and billing across every supported model — no separate OpenAI account required.

How much does the GPT Image 2 API cost?

GPT Image 2 uses simple pay-as-you-go pricing on Apiframe — you only pay for successful generations. See the pricing page for plans and volume discounts.

How do I call the GPT Image 2 API?

Send a POST request to `/v2/images/generate` with your `X-API-Key` and a JSON body containing `model: "gpt-image-2"`. The call returns a `jobId`; poll `GET /v2/jobs/{id}` or use a webhook to receive the result.

What parameters does GPT Image 2 support?

GPT Image 2 accepts 6 model-specific parameters (nested under `gptImage2Params`) plus the common `prompt` and `webhook_url` fields. See the input schema above for the full list with types and defaults.
