# 🎨 Text-to-Image Generator API (Pruna AI HiDream Full)

## Overview
This is the full HiDream text-to-image model, optimized by Pruna AI with its optimization toolkit. Send a text `prompt` and the API returns the URL of one generated image.

Choose one of seven output resolutions and one of four `speed_mode` levels, from `Unsqueezed 🍋 (highest quality)` to `Extra Juiced 🚀 (even more speed)`.

## Features
- **Seven resolutions**: `1024 × 1024 (Square)` (default), `768 × 1360 (Portrait)`, `1360 × 768 (Landscape)`, `880 × 1168 (Portrait)`, `1168 × 880 (Landscape)`, `1248 × 832 (Landscape)`, `832 × 1248 (Portrait)`.
- **Speed modes**: `Unsqueezed 🍋 (highest quality)`, `Lightly Juiced 🍊 (more consistent)` (default), `Juiced 🔥 (more speed)`, `Extra Juiced 🚀 (even more speed)`.
- **Output formats**: `webp` (default), `png` or `jpg`, with `output_quality` 1 to 100 for jpg and webp.
- **Seed**: set `seed` to reproduce a result, or leave it at `-1` for a random seed.

## Use Cases
1. **Illustrations and concept art**: generate images for articles, pitches and mood boards.
2. **Marketing visuals**: create product and campaign images in portrait, landscape or square formats.
3. **Fixed-size assets**: images at a known resolution for templates, banners and thumbnails.
4. **Fast drafts**: use a faster `speed_mode` to explore ideas, then a slower one for the final image.

## Visual Examples
### Example Input
Prompt: "a purple cheetah holding a sign that says "pip install pruna""

Settings: `resolution` `1024 × 1024 (Square)`, `speed_mode` `Juiced 🔥 (more speed)`, `seed` 1, `output_format` `webp`, `output_quality` 80, `model_type` `full`.

### Example Output
![Pruna AI HiDream Full output for the purple cheetah prompt](https://blog.api.market/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/hidream-l1-full-output-cfsgdzvc-api-market.webp)

## Input Parameters
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Allowed values | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `prompt` | string | Yes |  |  | Prompt |
| `model_type` | string | No | `full` | `full` | Model type |
| `speed_mode` | string | No | `Lightly Juiced 🍊 (more consistent)` | `Unsqueezed 🍋 (highest quality)`, `Lightly Juiced 🍊 (more consistent)`, `Juiced 🔥 (more speed)`, `Extra Juiced 🚀 (even more speed)` | Speed optimization level |
| `resolution` | string | No | `1024 × 1024 (Square)` | `1024 × 1024 (Square)`, `768 × 1360 (Portrait)`, `1360 × 768 (Landscape)`, `880 × 1168 (Portrait)`, `1168 × 880 (Landscape)`, `1248 × 832 (Landscape)`, `832 × 1248 (Portrait)` | Output resolution |
| `seed` | integer | No | `-1` |  | Random seed (-1 for random) |
| `output_format` | string | No | `webp` | `png`, `jpg`, `webp` | Output format |
| `output_quality` | integer | No | `100` | 1 to 100 | Output quality (for jpg and webp) |

The `resolution` and `speed_mode` values must be sent exactly as listed, including the `×` sign and the emoji.

## Pricing
- **Pay As You Go (PAYG) pricing**: you only pay for what you use.
- **Price**: $0.089 per API unit.
- **1 API unit = 1 successful request with up to 52 seconds of processing.** A request that runs longer is billed one more unit for each started 52-second block (for example, 60 seconds of processing is 2 units, $0.178). Slower speed modes take longer.
- Each request returns one image. The example request above took 67.5 seconds of processing, which is 2 units, so it cost $0.178.
- **Failed or cancelled predictions are not billed.**
- **GET requests to check prediction status** are free and don't count toward API unit usage.
- **No monthly subscription fee.**

## API Documentation

### Base URL
All API requests go to: `https://prod.api.market/api/v1/magicapi/ai-image-generator-prunaai-hidream-l1-full`

### Authentication
Send your api.market API key in the `x-api-market-key` header:
```
x-api-market-key: YOUR_API_MARKET_KEY
```

### Asynchronous Processing
**IMPORTANT**: This API is asynchronous. The flow is:
1. Send a POST request to `/predictions`. A successful request returns **201 Created** with a prediction `id` and a `status` of `starting` or `processing`.
2. Poll GET `/predictions/{id}` with that ID.
3. Keep polling while `status` is `starting` or `processing`.
4. Stop when `status` is `succeeded` (read `output`), `failed` or `canceled` (read `error`).

A polling interval of 1 second and an overall timeout of 600 seconds (10 minutes) work well.

### Endpoints

#### Create a Prediction
```bash
curl -X POST "https://prod.api.market/api/v1/magicapi/ai-image-generator-prunaai-hidream-l1-full/predictions" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-api-market-key: YOUR_API_MARKET_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "version": "03d58532fd29e39fd2ed80e86c3da1cebec28ef2734081cf1366710d30388f42",
    "input": {
      "seed": 1,
      "prompt": "a purple cheetah holding a sign that says \"pip install pruna\"",
      "model_type": "full",
      "resolution": "1024 × 1024 (Square)",
      "speed_mode": "Juiced 🔥 (more speed)",
      "output_format": "webp",
      "output_quality": 80
    }
  }'
```

Response (201 Created):
```json
{
  "id": "cfsgdzvczdrna0d1d8nv56bfh8",
  "version": "03d58532fd29e39fd2ed80e86c3da1cebec28ef2734081cf1366710d30388f42",
  "status": "starting",
  "created_at": "2026-10-23T19:09:53.476Z"
}
```

#### Check Prediction Status
```bash
curl -X GET "https://prod.api.market/api/v1/magicapi/ai-image-generator-prunaai-hidream-l1-full/predictions/{id}" \
  -H "x-api-market-key: YOUR_API_MARKET_KEY"
```

Response when the prediction has finished (200 OK):
```json
{
  "id": "cfsgdzvczdrna0d1d8nv56bfh8",
  "status": "succeeded",
  "output": "https://blog.api.market/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/hidream-l1-full-output-cfsgdzvc-api-market.webp",
  "error": null,
  "created_at": "2026-10-23T19:09:53.476Z",
  "started_at": "2026-10-23T19:09:54.476Z",
  "completed_at": "2026-10-23T19:10:20.476Z"
}
```

`output` is a single URL string pointing to the generated image.

### Status Codes
- **201 Created**: prediction created (POST `/predictions`). This is the normal success response.
- **200 OK**: prediction details returned (GET `/predictions/{id}`).
- **400 Bad Request**: invalid input, for example a missing `prompt` or a `resolution` that is not in the list.
- **401 Unauthorized**: missing or invalid API key.
- **404 Not Found**: no prediction with that ID.
- **429 Too Many Requests**: rate limit exceeded.
- **500 Internal Server Error** or **503 Service Unavailable**: temporary server problem; retry later.

## Rate Limits
All plans allow 10 requests per second. Requests above that return `429 Too Many Requests`; back off before retrying and honour any `Retry-After` header. Polling a prediction with GET is free but still counts toward the per-second limit, so poll every 1 to 5 seconds rather than in a tight loop.

## Error Handling
- Check the HTTP status code of every request and read the response body for the error message.
- A prediction can also end with `status` set to `failed`; the `error` field then explains why. Failed predictions are not billed.
- Retry 429, 500 and 503 responses with exponential backoff. Fix the input before retrying a 400.

## Implementation Guide
### Example Code

#### JavaScript
```javascript
const apiKey = "YOUR_API_MARKET_KEY";
const baseUrl = "https://prod.api.market/api/v1/magicapi/ai-image-generator-prunaai-hidream-l1-full";

  });

  if (response.status !== 201) {
    throw new Error(`API error: ${response.status} ${await response.text()}`);
  }

  const prediction = await response.json();
  return pollForResults(prediction.id);

    if (prediction.status === "succeeded") {
      return prediction.output;
    }

    if (prediction.status === "failed" || prediction.status === "canceled") {
      throw new Error(`Prediction ${prediction.status}: ${prediction.error || "Unknown error"}`);
    }

    await delay(pollInterval);
  }

  throw new Error("Prediction timed out after 10 minutes");
}

## FAQ
- **Which `speed_mode` should I pick?**
  - `Unsqueezed 🍋 (highest quality)` is the slowest, `Extra Juiced 🚀 (even more speed)` the fastest. The default is `Lightly Juiced 🍊 (more consistent)`.
- **Can I set any width and height?**
  - No. Pick one of the seven `resolution` values and send it exactly as listed.
- **How many images does one request return?**
  - One. `output` is a single image URL.
- **How is a request billed?**
  - By processing time: $0.089 covers up to 52 seconds, and each further started 52-second block adds one unit.
- **Is the 201 response from POST an error?**
  - No. 201 Created means the prediction was accepted. Use the returned `id` to poll GET `/predictions/{id}` until `status` is `succeeded`, `failed` or `canceled`.
- **What if my prediction fails?**
  - Failed predictions are not billed. Read the `error` field, adjust the input and try again.
