# 🖌️ Text-to-Image and Inpainting API (Ideogram v2 Turbo)

## Overview
Ideogram v2 Turbo is a fast image model from Ideogram that generates images from a text `prompt` and can inpaint parts of an existing image. Its developer describes it as having state of the art inpainting, prompt comprehension and text rendering.

Send a `prompt` to generate an image, or send an `image` together with a black and white `mask` to repaint only the masked area. Each request returns the URL of one image.

## Features
- **Text in images**: the model is described as strong at rendering text, which suits posters, logos, signs and labels.
- **Inpainting**: pass `image` and `mask` together. Black pixels in the mask are inpainted and white pixels are preserved; the mask is resized to match the image.
- **Aspect ratios**: `1:1` (default), `16:9`, `9:16`, `4:3`, `3:4`, `3:2`, `2:3`, `16:10`, `10:16`, `3:1`, `1:3`.
- **Exact resolutions**: choose one of 68 fixed sizes in `resolution`, from `512x1536` to `1536x640`. It overrides `aspect_ratio`.
- **Style presets**: `style_type` of `None` (default), `Auto`, `General`, `Realistic`, `Design`, `Render 3D` or `Anime`.
- **Magic Prompt**: `magic_prompt_option` (`Auto` by default, `On` or `Off`) rewrites your prompt to improve variety and quality, and lets you write prompts in other languages.
- **Negative prompt and seed**: exclude elements with `negative_prompt`, and set `seed` to reproduce a result.

## Use Cases
1. **Posters and social graphics**: layouts with a headline and tagline rendered as real text.
2. **Logos and signage mockups**: short words and brand names placed inside a scene.
3. **Photo fixes and edits**: replace or repaint a region of an image with inpainting.
4. **Design drafts**: quick concepts in the `Design`, `Realistic`, `Render 3D` or `Anime` style.

## Visual Examples
### Example Input
Prompt: "A minimalist travel-style poster of a paper airplane soaring over a city skyline at sunrise, with the bold headline "api.market" and the smaller tagline "Ship faster with one API key" in clean white type."

Settings: `aspect_ratio` `3:4`, `style_type` `Design`. No inpainting image or mask was sent.

## Pricing
- **Pay As You Go (PAYG) pricing**: you only pay for what you use.
- **Price**: $0.063 per API unit.
- **1 API unit = 1 output image.** Each request returns one image, so each successful request costs $0.063, including the example above.
- Text-to-image and inpainting are billed the same, whatever the style, resolution or Magic Prompt setting.
- **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/fast-image-inpainting-prompt-text-rendering-ideogram-ai-ideogram-v2-turbo`

### 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/fast-image-inpainting-prompt-text-rendering-ideogram-ai-ideogram-v2-turbo/predictions" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-api-market-key: YOUR_API_MARKET_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "version": "7cef9d520d672bb802588ad0d13151bc51aee9a408c270aebf25d6530045dd29",
    "input": {
      "prompt": "A minimalist travel-style poster of a paper airplane soaring over a city skyline at sunrise, with the bold headline \"api.market\" and the smaller tagline \"Ship faster with one API key\" in clean white type.",
      "aspect_ratio": "3:4",
      "style_type": "Design"
    }
  }'
```

Response (201 Created):
```json
{
  "id": "9vd2n5kygxrmy0d17frb4a8ajg",
  "version": "7cef9d520d672bb802588ad0d13151bc51aee9a408c270aebf25d6530045dd29",
  "status": "starting",
  "created_at": "2026-10-14T19:42:59.355Z"
}
```

#### Check Prediction Status
```bash
curl -X GET "https://prod.api.market/api/v1/magicapi/fast-image-inpainting-prompt-text-rendering-ideogram-ai-ideogram-v2-turbo/predictions/{id}" \
  -H "x-api-market-key: YOUR_API_MARKET_KEY"
```

Response when the prediction has finished (200 OK):
```json
{
  "id": "9vd2n5kygxrmy0d17frb4a8ajg",
  "status": "succeeded",
  "output": "https://blog.api.market/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ideogram-v2-turbo-output-api-market.png",
  "error": null,
  "created_at": "2026-10-14T19:42:59.355Z",
  "started_at": "2026-10-14T19:43:00.355Z",
  "completed_at": "2026-10-14T19:43:09.355Z"
}
```

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

## FAQ
- **How do I inpaint part of an image?**
  - Send the image as `image` and a black and white `mask` of the same scene. Black areas are repainted from your `prompt`; white areas are kept. Send both fields together.
- **Should I use `aspect_ratio` or `resolution`?**
  - Use `aspect_ratio` for a standard shape, or `resolution` for an exact pixel size. `resolution` overrides `aspect_ratio`, and both are ignored when you inpaint an image.
- **Why does my result not follow my exact wording?**
  - `magic_prompt_option` is `Auto` by default and may rewrite the prompt. Set it to `Off` to use your prompt as written.
- **How many images does one request return?**
  - One. Each image is billed as one API unit ($0.063).
- **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.
