API request and parameters

Use images:generate on your API key. This configuration runs image to image and returns image/jpeg.

Upload an image using the same API key, then replace YOUR_UPLOADED_ASSET_ID. Input upload example. Choose a different configuration ID to change the workflow or output settings. Send only options listed below.

This configuration has no additional request options.

Replace the prompt and set a unique MELDPORT_IDEMPOTENCY_KEY for this operation. The example quotes the request and then creates one paid job. Read the billing rules before accepting variable charges.

});
console.log(result.job);
// Poll GET /v1/media/jobs/<job.id> with the same API key.
// Keep this operation ID for retries. A new ID requests another generation.

Poll the returned job ID. Download only after state is succeeded and billing_state is settled. Polling and download example.
