Task Submission Parameters
Request Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| prompt | string | Yes | - | The positive prompt for the generation. | |
| image | string | Yes | - | - | |
| size | string | No | 1024*1024 | - | The size of the generated media in pixels (width*height). |
| guidance_scale | number | No | 3.5 | 0 ~ 20 | The guidance scale to use for the generation. |
| seed | integer | No | -1 | - | The random seed to use for the generation. -1 means a random seed will be used. |
| output_format | string | No | jpeg | jpeg, png, webp | 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
