# 🚀 Impossible Scenarios Photo API (FLUX Kontext Apps)

## Overview
Impossible Scenarios is a ready-made photo editing app from the FLUX Kontext apps collection. It takes a photo of a person and places them in one of 32 extreme or impossible scenes, such as walking on the moon, swimming with great white sharks or standing on top of Mount Everest. Its developer describes it as a way to experience impossible adventures and extreme scenarios from a single image.

Send a photo as `input_image` and choose an `impossible_scenario`. No prompt is needed. Each request returns the URL of one generated image.

## Features
- **32 preset scenarios** in `impossible_scenario`, grouped roughly into space (`Walking on the moon surface`, `Standing on Mars in a spacesuit`), ocean (`Swimming with great white sharks`, `Deep sea diving with giant whales`), extreme sports (`Skydiving from 30,000 feet`, `Wingsuit flying through mountains`), wildlife (`Standing face-to-face with a roaring lion`), natural forces (`Surfing a massive tsunami wave`), action (`Motorcycle jumping over helicopters`) and fantasy (`Dragon encounter in medieval armor`, `Levitating with magical energy`). `Random` picks one for you.
- **Subject hint**: set `gender` to `male` or `female` to describe the person in the photo, or leave it at `none`.
- **Aspect ratio**: `match_input_image` (default) keeps the input's aspect ratio. 13 fixed ratios from `21:9` to `9:21` are also available.
- **Output format**: `png` (default) or `jpg`.
- **Safety tolerance**: 0 (most strict) to 2 (most permissive, the default and the maximum allowed).
- **Seed**: set a seed for reproducible results.

## Use Cases
1. **Fun photo features in consumer apps**: let users see themselves in space, under the sea or on Everest.
2. **Social media content**: eye-catching posts and profile images from an ordinary photo.
3. **Marketing campaigns**: adventure-themed visuals of a person for travel, sports or entertainment promotions.
4. **Personalized gifts and cards**: put the recipient into a memorable scene.

## Visual Examples
### Example Input
Image: a photo of a woman.

![Input image: a photo of a woman](https://blog.api.market/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/p-video-avatar-input-api-market.webp)

`impossible_scenario`: `Walking on the moon surface`, `gender`: `female`. All other fields were left at their defaults (`aspect_ratio` `match_input_image`, `output_format` `png`).

### Example Output
![Impossible Scenarios output: the woman from the input photo placed in the Walking on the moon surface scenario](https://blog.api.market/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/impossible-scenarios-output-api-market.jpg)

## Pricing
- **Pay As You Go (PAYG) pricing**: you only pay for what you use.
- **Price**: $0.05 per API unit.
- **1 API unit = 1 output image.** Each request returns one image, so each successful request costs $0.05.
- The example on this page cost $0.05.
- Every scenario, aspect ratio and output format is billed the same.
- **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/extreme-adventures-from-single-image-flux-kontext-apps-impossible-scenarios`

### 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/extreme-adventures-from-single-image-flux-kontext-apps-impossible-scenarios/predictions" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-api-market-key: YOUR_API_MARKET_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "version": "b6d573d5c30af10156ff8adb4579f9623a1934c5aa8f192c88b1edc4cca2a405",
    "input": {
      "input_image": "https://blog.api.market/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/p-video-avatar-input-api-market.webp",
      "impossible_scenario": "Walking on the moon surface",
      "gender": "female"
    }
  }'
```

Response (201 Created):
```json
{
  "id": "tedm6yzyd1rmw0d17fqv45fwrr",
  "version": "b6d573d5c30af10156ff8adb4579f9623a1934c5aa8f192c88b1edc4cca2a405",
  "status": "starting",
  "created_at": "2026-10-14T19:42:26.529Z"
}
```

#### Check Prediction Status
```bash
curl -X GET "https://prod.api.market/api/v1/magicapi/extreme-adventures-from-single-image-flux-kontext-apps-impossible-scenarios/predictions/{id}" \
  -H "x-api-market-key: YOUR_API_MARKET_KEY"
```

Response when the prediction has finished (200 OK):
```json
{
  "id": "tedm6yzyd1rmw0d17fqv45fwrr",
  "status": "succeeded",
  "output": "https://blog.api.market/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/impossible-scenarios-output-api-market.jpg",
  "error": null,
  "created_at": "2026-10-14T19:42:26.529Z",
  "started_at": "2026-10-14T19:42:27.529Z",
  "completed_at": "2026-10-14T19:42:38.529Z"
}
```

`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 `input_image` or an `impossible_scenario` 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.

## FAQ
- **Can I describe my own scenario?**
  - No. `impossible_scenario` only accepts the 32 listed values plus `Random`. Any other value is rejected with a 400 error.
- **What kind of photo works best?**
  - The input is described as an image of the person to place in the scenario, so send a photo where one person is clearly visible.
- **What does `gender` do?**
  - It describes the person in the photo as male or female. Leave it at `none` if you prefer not to set it.
- **How many images does one request return?**
  - One generated image per request, billed as one API unit ($0.05).
- **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.
