About

Generate Image

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

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/inpaint", {
  input: {
    model_name: "diffusers/stable-diffusion-xl-1.0-inpainting-0.1",
    prompt: "a photo of a cat",
    image_url: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CompVis/latent-diffusion/main/data/inpainting_examples/overture-creations-5sI6fQgYIuo.png",
    mask_url: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CompVis/latent-diffusion/main/data/inpainting_examples/overture-creations-5sI6fQgYIuo_mask.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"
});

3. Queue#

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/inpaint", {
  input: {
    model_name: "diffusers/stable-diffusion-xl-1.0-inpainting-0.1",
    prompt: "a photo of a cat",
    image_url: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CompVis/latent-diffusion/main/data/inpainting_examples/overture-creations-5sI6fQgYIuo.png",
    mask_url: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CompVis/latent-diffusion/main/data/inpainting_examples/overture-creations-5sI6fQgYIuo_mask.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/inpaint", {
  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/inpaint", {
  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);

Read more about file handling in our file upload guide.

5. Schema#

Input#

model_name string* required

URL or HuggingFace ID of the base model to generate the image.

prompt string* required

The prompt to use for generating the image. Be as descriptive as possible for best results.

negative_prompt string

The negative prompt to use. Use it to address details that you don't want in the image. This could be colors, objects, scenery and even the small details (e.g. moustache, blurry, low resolution). Default value: ""

image_url string* required

Input image for img2img or inpaint mode

mask_url string* required

Input mask for inpaint mode. Black areas will be preserved, white areas will be inpainted.

num_inference_steps integer

Increasing the amount of steps tells Stable Diffusion that it should take more steps to generate your final result which can increase the amount of detail in your image. Default value: 30

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: 7.5

seed integer

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

{
  "model_name": "diffusers/stable-diffusion-xl-1.0-inpainting-0.1",
  "prompt": "a photo of a cat",
  "negative_prompt": "cartoon, painting, illustration, (worst quality, low quality, normal quality:2)",
  "image_url": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CompVis/latent-diffusion/main/data/inpainting_examples/overture-creations-5sI6fQgYIuo.png",
  "mask_url": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CompVis/latent-diffusion/main/data/inpainting_examples/overture-creations-5sI6fQgYIuo_mask.png",
  "num_inference_steps": 30,
  "guidance_scale": 7.5,
  "seed": 1234
}

Output#

image Image* required

The generated image files info.

seed integer* required

Seed of the generated Image. It will be the same value of the one passed in the input or the randomly generated that was used in case none was passed.

{
  "image": {
    "url": "",
    "content_type": "image/png",
    "file_name": "z9RV14K95DvU.png",
    "file_size": 4404019,
    "width": 1024,
    "height": 1024
  }
}

Other types#

Image#

url string* required

The URL where the file can be downloaded from.

content_type string

The mime type of the file.

file_name string

The name of the file. It will be auto-generated if not provided.

file_size integer

The size of the file in bytes.

width integer

The width of the image in pixels.

height integer

The height of the image in pixels.
