Quick Example

Let's generate an image of the specified size using a simple prompt.

Python

import requests
import json


def main():
    response = requests.post(
        "https://api.aimlapi.com/v1/images/generations",
        headers={
            # Insert your AIML API Key instead of <YOUR_AIMLAPI_KEY>:
            "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_AIMLAPI_KEY>",
            "Content-Type": "application/json",
        },
        json={
            "model": "alibaba/qwen-image-edit",
            "prompt": "Make the dinosaur sit on a lounge chair with its back to the camera, looking toward the water. The setting sun has almost disappeared below the horizon.",
            "image": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aimlapi/api-docs/main/reference-files/t-rex.png"
        }
    )

    data = response.json()
    print(json.dumps(data, indent=2, ensure_ascii=False))


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

JS

const response = await fetch('https://api.aimlapi.com/v1/images/generations', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    // Insert your AIML API Key instead of <YOUR_AIMLAPI_KEY>:
    'Authorization': 'Bearer <YOUR_AIMLAPI_KEY>',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    model: 'alibaba/qwen-image-edit',
    prompt: 'Make the dinosaur sit on a lounge chair with its back to the camera, looking toward the water. The setting sun has almost disappeared below the horizon.',
    image: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aimlapi/api-docs/main/reference-files/t-rex.png',        
  }),
});

const data = await response.json();
console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));

Response

{
  "created": 1756832341,
  "data": [
    {
      "url": "https://dashscope-result-sgp.oss-ap-southeast-1.aliyuncs.com/7d/06/20250903/1955eee6/ac748d89-d6b1-4d4e-bc65-eea543098bb9-1.png?Expires=1757438140&OSSAccessKeyId=LTAI5tRcsWJEymQaTsKbKqGf&Signature=aDhUphXV84V1nPMmdRl49ShSKxY%3D"
    }
  ]
}

We obtained the following 1184x896 image by running this code example:

'Make the dinosaur sit on a lounge chair with its back to the camera, looking toward the water. The setting sun has almost disappeared below the horizon.'
