Parameters
Task Submission Parameters
Request Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| prompt | string | Yes | - | The positive prompt for the generation. | |
| size | string | No | 1024*1024 | 256 ~ 1536 | The size of the generated media in pixels (width*height). |
| num_inference_steps | integer | No | 28 | 1 ~ 50 | The number of inference steps to perform. |
| seed | integer | No | - | - | The random seed to use for the generation. -1 means a random seed will be used. |
| guidance_scale | number | No | 3.5 | 1 ~ 20 | The guidance scale to use for the generation. |
| output_format | string | No | jpeg | jpeg, png | The format of the output image. |
| enable_base64_output | boolean | No | false | - | If set to `true`, the prediction's `output` strings are returned as **naked base64** (no `data:<mime>;base64,` prefix). When `false` (default), outputs are returned as URLs pointing to our CDN. |
| enable_sync_mode | boolean | No | false | - | If set to `true`, the request attempts to wait for the generated result and return outputs in the same response. If the result is not ready within the sync wait window, the API can return a timeout body while the task continues processing. This option is only available via the API and is supported only by some models. |
Response Parameters

| data.outputs | array | Output values, usually URL strings; some models return text strings or structured result objects (empty when status is not completed) |
| data.urls | object | Object containing related API endpoints |
| data.status | string | Task status. completed is successful; failed, cancelled, timeout, and deleted are failure terminal statuses. |
| data.created_at | string | ISO timestamp of when the request was created (e.g., “2023-04-01T12:34:56.789Z”) |
| data.error | string | Error message (empty if no error occurred) |
