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/photomaker", {
input: {
image_archive_url: "https://storage.googleapis.com/falserverless/model_tests/photomaker/elon.zip",
prompt: "instagram photo, portrait photo of a man img, colorful, perfect face, natural skin, hard shadows, film grain"
},
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/photomaker", {
input: {
image_archive_url: "https://storage.googleapis.com/falserverless/model_tests/photomaker/elon.zip",
prompt: "instagram photo, portrait photo of a man img, colorful, perfect face, natural skin, hard shadows, film grain"
},
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/photomaker", {
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/photomaker", {
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.
image_archive_url string* requiredThe URL of the image archive containing the images you want to use.
prompt string* requiredThe prompt to use for generating the image. Be as descriptive as possible for best results.
base_pipeline BasePipelineEnumThe base pipeline to use for generating the image. Default value: "photomaker"
Possible enum values: photomaker, photomaker-style
initial_image_url stringOptional initial image for img2img
initial_image_strength floatHow much noise to add to the latent image. O for no noise, 1 for maximum noise. Default value: 0.5
style StyleEnumDefault value: "Photographic"
Possible enum values: (No style), Cinematic, Disney Character, Digital Art, Photographic, Fantasy art, Neonpunk, Enhance, Comic book, Lowpoly, 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. Default value: 50
style_strength integerDefault value: 20
num_images integerNumber of images to generate in one request. Note that the higher the batch size,
the longer it will take to generate the images. Default value: 1
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. Default value: 5
seed integerThe same seed and the same prompt given to the same version of Stable Diffusion will output the same image every time.
enable_safety_checker booleanAuthorized callers may set false to request relaxed screening. Default value: true
