Generate Image Lcm
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/instantid/lcm", {
input: {
face_image_url: "https://storage.googleapis.com/falserverless/model_tests/instantid/post_malone.jpg",
prompt: "man"
},
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/instantid/lcm", {
input: {
face_image_url: "https://storage.googleapis.com/falserverless/model_tests/instantid/post_malone.jpg",
prompt: "man"
},
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/instantid/lcm", {
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/instantid/lcm", {
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.
face_image_url string* requiredThe image of the person you want to generate.
prompt string* requiredThe prompt to use for generating the image. Be as descriptive as possible for best results.
style StyleEnumDefault value: "Headshot"
Possible enum values: (No style), Headshot, Spring Festival, Watercolor, Film Noir, Neon, Jungle, Mars, Vibrant Color, Snow, Line art
negative_prompt stringThe 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: ""
num_inference_steps integerIncreasing 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.
If using LCM scheduler, use a value in the range of 1 to 12 for best results. Default value: 5
guidance_scale floatThe 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.
If using LCM scheduler, use a value in the range of 0.1 to 2.0 for best results. Default value: 1.5
controlnet_selection EnumType of the ControlNet. If not provided, ControlNets will not be used. Default value: canny
Possible enum values: pose, canny, depth
controlnet_conditioning_scale floatThe scale of the controlnet conditioning. Default value: 0.4
ip_adapter_scale floatThe scale of the IP adapter (increase to improve details). Default value: 0.7
identity_controlnet_conditioning_scale floatThe scale of the controlnet conditioning (increase to preserve identity). This only affects the identity controlnet. Default value: 0.7
enhance_face_region booleanWhether to enhance the face region or not. Default value: true
seed integerThe same seed and the same prompt given to the same version of Stable Diffusion will output the same image every time.
model_name stringThe link of the model to use for generating the image. If not provided, the default model will be used. Only SDXL models are supported.
enable_safety_checker booleanAuthorized callers may set false to request relaxed screening. Default value: true
