## Quick Example

Let's generate an image using an input image and a prompt that defines how it should be edited.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Python" %}
{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```python
import requests
import json  # for getting a structured output with indentation

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()
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="JS" %}
{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```javascript

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));
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

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

<figure><img src="/files/mKzZrmYKk2X99qL509qO" alt=""><figcaption><p><code>'Make the dinosaur sit on a lounge chair with its back to the camera, looking toward the water.</code><br><code>The setting sun has almost disappeared below the horizon.'</code></p></figcaption></figure>
