Fine Tune
The client provides a convenient way to interact with the model API.
npm install --save @fal-ai/clientThe @fal-ai/serverless-client package has been deprecated in favor of @fal-ai/client. Install the new package and update your imports — see client setup.
Set FAL_KEY as an environment variable in your runtime.
export FAL_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"The client API handles the API submit protocol. It will handle the request status updates and return the result when the request is completed.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const result = await fal.subscribe("fal-ai/flux-lora-portrait-trainer", {
input: {
images_data_url: ""
},
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);The API uses an API Key for authentication. It is recommended you set the FAL_KEY environment variable in your runtime when possible.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
fal.config({
credentials: "YOUR_FAL_KEY"
});When running code on the client-side (e.g. in a browser, mobile app or GUI applications), make sure to not expose your FAL_KEY. Instead, use a server-side proxy to make requests to the API. For more information, check out our server-side integration guide.
The client API provides a convenient way to submit requests to the model.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const { request_id } = await fal.queue.submit("fal-ai/flux-lora-portrait-trainer", {
input: {
images_data_url: ""
},
webhookUrl: "https://optional.webhook.url/for/results",
});You can fetch the status of a request to check if it is completed or still in progress.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const status = await fal.queue.status("fal-ai/flux-lora-portrait-trainer", {
requestId: "764cabcf-b745-4b3e-ae38-1200304cf45b",
logs: true,
});Once the request is completed, you can fetch the result. See the Output Schema for the expected result format.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const result = await fal.queue.result("fal-ai/flux-lora-portrait-trainer", {
requestId: "764cabcf-b745-4b3e-ae38-1200304cf45b"
});
console.log(result.data);
console.log(result.requestId);Some attributes in the API accept file URLs as input. Whenever that's the case you can pass your own URL or a Base64 data URI.
You can pass a Base64 data URI as a file input. The API will handle the file decoding for you. Keep in mind that for large files, this alternative although convenient can impact the request performance.
You can also pass your own URLs as long as they are publicly accessible. Be aware that some hosts might block cross-site requests, rate-limit, or consider the request as a bot.
We provide a convenient file storage that allows you to upload files and use them in your requests. You can upload files using the client API and use the returned URL in your requests.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const file = new File(["Hello, World!"], "hello.txt", { type: "text/plain" });
const url = await fal.storage.upload(file);The client will auto-upload the file for you if you pass a binary object (e.g. File, Data).
Read more about file handling in our file upload guide.
images_data_url string* requiredURL to zip archive with images of a consistent style. Try to use at least 10 images, although more is better.
In addition to images the archive can contain text files with captions. Each text file should have the same name as the image file it corresponds to.
The captions can include a special string [trigger]. If a trigger_word is specified, it will replace [trigger] in the captions.
trigger_phrase stringTrigger phrase to be used in the captions. If None, a trigger word will not be used.
If no captions are provide the trigger_work will be used instead of captions. If captions are provided, the trigger word will replace the [trigger] string in the captions.
learning_rate floatLearning rate to use for training. Default value: 0.00009
steps integerNumber of steps to train the LoRA on. Default value: 2500
multiresolution_training booleanIf True, multiresolution training will be used. Default value: true
subject_crop booleanIf True, the subject will be cropped from the image. Default value: true
data_archive_format stringThe format of the archive. If not specified, the format will be inferred from the URL.
resume_from_checkpoint stringURL to a checkpoint to resume training from. Default value: ""
create_masks booleanIf True, masks will be created for the subject.
