Image-to-Image

Image-to-image: put the reference in `image` (a public URL, a data: URI, or raw base64) to run true identity-preserving i2i — the model regenerates from it at the chosen size/ratio. Equivalent to calling /v1/images/edits.

curl https://nezhagate.com/v1/images/generations -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"model": "grok-imagine-image-quality", "prompt": "replace the background with a starry sky", "image": "https://example.com/ref.png", "size": "3:4"}'

Image jobs (submit → poll for the result)

Image rendering usually takes 1–3 minutes, so the image endpoints are job-only: submitting a request returns a job id immediately (HTTP 202); poll for the result with that id — the server keeps rendering across restarts, so the image is never lost. Same for text-to-image and image-to-image. (The old "async": true field is no longer needed; it is accepted but ignored.)

curl https://nezhagate.com/v1/images/generations -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"model": "grok-imagine-image-quality", "prompt": "an ink-wash poster with lots of negative space", "size": "3:4"}'

{ "id": "img_3f9a...c2", "object": "image.generation.job", "status": "queued", "model": "grok-imagine-image-quality" }

curl https://nezhagate.com/v1/images/jobs/img_3f9a...c2 -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'

{
  "id": "img_3f9a...c2",
  "object": "image.generation.job",
  "status": "succeeded",
  "model": "grok-imagine-image-quality",
  "data": [{ "url": "https://img.nezhagate.com/i/9f86d081a8....png" }]
}

🕑 data[0].url is a link on our image host that is kept for 60 days and then deleted automatically; to keep using it, download it and store it on your own storage or CDN.

status is one of queued / processing / succeeded / failed. On success the response carries data[].url. A job can only be polled by the account that created it. Image endpoints are always async — submit returns a job id; "async": true is accepted only for backward compatibility and ignored.

Error codes

Every error body carries error.message / error.type / error.code / error.param - branch on code; the full list is in the integration guide.
