## API Information

This model can be used via our HTTP API or more conveniently via our client libraries.
See the input and output schema below, as well as the usage examples.


### Input Schema

The API accepts the following input parameters:


- **`prompt`** (`string`, _required_):
  The text prompt used to generate the image
  - Examples: "Realistic DSLR photograph of anthropomorphic Penkingese dog enjoying a bowl of ramen on the Great Wall of China with the words \"Seedream 5.0 Lite available on fal\" visible at the top."

- **`image_size`** (`ImageSize | Enum`, _optional_):
  The size of the generated image. Total pixels must be between 2560x1440 and 4096x4096. In case the image size does not fall within these parameters, the image size will be adjusted to by scaling. Default value: `auto_2K`
  - Default: `"auto_2K"`
  - One of: ImageSize | Enum

- **`num_images`** (`integer`, _optional_):
  Number of separate model generations to be run with the prompt. Default value: `1`
  - Default: `1`
  - Range: `1` to `6`

- **`max_images`** (`integer`, _optional_):
  If set to a number greater than one, enables multi-image generation. The model will potentially return up to `max_images` images every generation, and in total, `num_images` generations will be carried out. In total, the number of images generated will be between `num_images` and `max_images*num_images`. Default value: `1`
  - Default: `1`
  - Range: `1` to `6`

- **`sync_mode`** (`boolean`, _optional_):
  If `True`, the media will be returned as a data URI and the output data won't be available in the request history.
  - Default: `false`

- **`enable_safety_checker`** (`boolean`, _optional_):
  If set to true, the safety checker will be enabled. Default value: `true`
  - Default: `true`
  - Examples: true

- **`return_byteplus_urls`** (`boolean`, _optional_):
  If set to true returns seedance-2 trusted URLs. Please note these urls expire in 24 hours.
  - Default: `false`

```


## Usage Examples

### cURL

```bash
curl --request POST \
  --url https://fal.run/bytedance/seedream/v5/lite/text-to-image \
  --header "Authorization: Key $FAL_KEY" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
     "prompt": "Realistic DSLR photograph of anthropomorphic Penkingese dog enjoying a bowl of ramen on the Great Wall of China with the words \"Seedream 5.0 Lite available on fal\" visible at the top."
   }'
```

### Python

Ensure you have the Python client installed:

```bash
pip install fal-client
```

Then use the API client to make requests:

```python
import fal_client

def on_queue_update(update):
    if isinstance(update, fal_client.InProgress):
        for log in update.logs:
           print(log["message"])

result = fal_client.subscribe(
    "bytedance/seedream/v5/lite/text-to-image",
    arguments={
        "prompt": "Realistic DSLR photograph of anthropomorphic Penkingese dog enjoying a bowl of ramen on the Great Wall of China with the words \"Seedream 5.0 Lite available on fal\" visible at the top."
    },
    with_logs=True,
    on_queue_update=on_queue_update,
)
print(result)
```

### JavaScript

Ensure you have the JavaScript client installed:

```bash
npm install --save @fal-ai/client
```

Then use the API client to make requests:

```javascript
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

const result = await fal.subscribe("bytedance/seedream/v5/lite/text-to-image", {
  input: {
    prompt: "Realistic DSLR photograph of anthropomorphic Penkingese dog enjoying a bowl of ramen on the Great Wall of China with the words \"Seedream 5.0 Lite available on fal\" visible at the top."
  },
  logs: true,
  onQueueUpdate: (update) => {
    if (update.status === "IN_PROGRESS") {
      update.logs.map((log) => log.message).forEach(console.log);
    }
  },
});
console.log(result.data);
console.log(result.requestId);
```
