About

Inference

1. Calling the API#

Install the client#

The client provides a convenient way to interact with the model API.

npm install --save @fal-ai/client

Migrate to @fal-ai/client

The @fal-ai/serverless-client package has been deprecated in favor of @fal-ai/client. Please check the migration guide for more information.

Setup your API Key#

Set FAL_KEY as an environment variable in your runtime.

export FAL_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Submit a request#

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/iclight-v2", {
  input: {
    prompt: "perfume bottle in a volcano surrounded by lava.",
    image_url: "https://storage.googleapis.com/falserverless/iclight-v2/bottle.png"
  },
  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);

2. Authentication#

The API uses an API Key for authentication. It is recommended you set the FAL_KEY environment variable in your runtime when possible.

API Key#

In case your app is running in an environment where you cannot set environment variables, you can set the API Key manually as a client configuration.

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

fal.config({
  credentials: "YOUR_FAL_KEY"
});

Protect your API 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.

3. Queue#

Long-running requests

For long-running requests, such as training jobs or models with slower inference times, it is recommended to check the Queue status and rely on Webhooks instead of blocking while waiting for the result.

Submit a request#

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/iclight-v2", {
  input: {
    prompt: "perfume bottle in a volcano surrounded by lava.",
    image_url: "https://storage.googleapis.com/falserverless/iclight-v2/bottle.png"
  },
  webhookUrl: "https://optional.webhook.url/for/results",
});

Fetch request status#

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/iclight-v2", {
  requestId: "764cabcf-b745-4b3e-ae38-1200304cf45b",
  logs: true,
});

Get the result#

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/iclight-v2", {
  requestId: "764cabcf-b745-4b3e-ae38-1200304cf45b"
});
console.log(result.data);
console.log(result.requestId);

4. Files#

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.

Data URI (base64)#

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.

Hosted files (URL)#

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.

Uploading files#

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);

Auto uploads

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.

5. Schema#

Input#

prompt string* required

The prompt to generate an image from.

negative_prompt string

Negative Prompt for the image Default value: ""

image_url string* required

URL of image to be used for relighting

mask_image_url string

URL of mask to be used for ic-light conditioning image

background_threshold float

Threshold for the background removal algorithm. A high threshold will produce sharper masks. Note: This parameter is currently deprecated and has no effect on the output. Default value: 0.67

image_size ImageSize | Enum

The size of the generated image.

Possible enum values: square_hd, square, portrait_4_3, portrait_16_9, landscape_4_3, landscape_16_9

Note: For custom image sizes, you can pass the width and height as an object:

"image_size": {
  "width": 1280,
  "height": 720
}

num_inference_steps integer

The number of inference steps to perform. Default value: 28

seed integer

The same seed and the same prompt given to the same version of the model will output the same image every time.

initial_latent InitialLatentEnum

Provide lighting conditions for the model Default value: "None"

Possible enum values: None, Left, Right, Top, Bottom

enable_hr_fix boolean

Use HR fix

sync_mode boolean

If set to true, the function will wait for the image to be generated and uploaded before returning the response. This will increase the latency of the function but it allows you to get the image directly in the response without going through the CDN.

num_images integer

The number of images to generate. Default value: 1

cfg float

The real classifier-free-guidance scale for the generation. Default value: 1

lowres_denoise float

Strength for low-resolution pass. Default value: 0.98

highres_denoise float

Strength for high-resolution pass. Only used if enable_hr_fix is True. Default value: 0.95

hr_downscale float

Default value: 0.5

guidance_scale float

The CFG (Classifier Free Guidance) scale is a measure of how close you want the model to stick to your prompt when looking for a related image to show you. Default value: 5

enable_safety_checker boolean

If set to true, the safety checker will be enabled. Default value: true

output_format OutputFormatEnum

The format of the generated image. Default value: "jpeg"

Possible enum values: jpeg, png
