● Image generation
Image generation API: GPT Image 2, Nano Banana and Seedream
Send a prompt (and optionally reference images) to one endpoint and choose the model with a single field: GPT Image 2, Seedream 5 Pro, Nano Banana, Imagen 4 and others. Image jobs run as tasks you poll or receive by webhook, and you pay only for finished images.
Who it is for
- Product teams generating marketing images, thumbnails or product shots
- Apps that let users create or edit images
- Developers comparing image models without opening several accounts
How it works
- POST the prompt, model and options; you get a task id back at once.
- Poll GET /v1/tasks/{id} every few seconds, or pass webhook_url to be notified.
- When status is done, output.images holds the image URLs and credit.charged_usd shows the charge.
Endpoints
| Method | Path | What it does |

GET | /v1/tasks/{id} | Poll the task for the image URLs |
Models
Pass one of these as model (or voice_id for voices). The full, current list with prices is at /v1/models.

Charged per finished image. GPT Image 2 at 1K costs about $0.007 on Omni against $0.219 at OpenAI's list price; Nano Banana costs $0.023 against Google's $0.039. Failed tasks cost nothing. See the pricing page for the full comparison.
Limits
- Image links expire after a while, so download results promptly.
- Reference images must be public HTTPS links of up to 5 MB each.
- Generation usually takes seconds but can take longer when a model's queue is busy.
