Capabilities
Quick start
Send a single POST /v2/images/generate request with your API key to
generate with Imagen 4. 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": "imagen-4",
"imagenParams": {
"image_size": "1K",
"output_format": "jpg"
}
}'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",
},

)
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",

});
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).
