Quickstart

How to call the Stable Diffusion 3 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 stable-diffusion-3 for any other model and nothing else changes.
