```

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(
    "fal-ai/minimax/image-01",
    arguments={
        "prompt": "Man dressed in white t shirt, full-body stand front view image, outdoor, Venice beach sign, full-body image, Los Angeles, Fashion photography of 90s, documentary, Film grain, photorealistic"
    },
    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("fal-ai/minimax/image-01", {
  input: {
    prompt: "Man dressed in white t shirt, full-body stand front view image, outdoor, Venice beach sign, full-body image, Los Angeles, Fashion photography of 90s, documentary, Film grain, photorealistic"
  },
  logs: true,
  onQueueUpdate: (update) => {
    if (update.status === "IN_PROGRESS") {
