API

Generate an image

Send a prompt, get back an image.

# 1) Send the prompt. The endpoint does not wait for the image:
#    it queues the job and answers 202 with an id.
curl https://samimagegenerator.com/api/v1/generate \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sig_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"prompt":"a red fox in the snow","style":"realistic","aspect":"1:1","resolution":"1K","count":1,"model":"samimage-mini"}'

# 2) Ask for the result every couple of seconds until status is no longer "pending".
#    Generation takes 20-60s. Polling is safe to repeat: it never spends a credit.
curl "https://samimagegenerator.com/api/v1/generate?id=<ID>" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sig_your_key_here"

Response

// 1) POST — the job is accepted, nothing is generated yet (202)
{ "ok": true, "id": "…", "status": "pending" }

// 2) GET ?id=… — while the worker is on it (200)
{ "ok": true, "status": "pending" }

// 2) GET ?id=… — finished (200)
{
  "ok": true,
  "status": "done",
  "generations": [
    { "id": "…", "model": "samimage-mini", "url": "https://samimagegenerator.com/api/generations/…/file" }
  ],
  "refunded": 0,
  // credits: null on an unlimited plan — there is no number to count down.
  "credits": 96
}

// Errors
// The job failed: HTTP is still 200 — the poll itself worked, the generation did not.
{ "ok": false, "status": "error", "error": "no-credits" }

// generation-failed / storage-failed: the credit was spent and refunded,
// so the fresh balance comes back with the error.
{ "ok": false, "status": "error", "error": "generation-failed", "credits": 96 }

// Unknown or expired id (404). Jobs are kept for one day.
{ "ok": false, "error": "not-found" }
