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/vecglypher", {
input: {
prompt: "g"
},
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/vecglypher", {
input: {
prompt: "g"
},
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/vecglypher", {
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/vecglypher", {
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.
prompt string* requiredThe target text to generate as vector glyphs. Each character is rendered as a separate SVG path element.
style_description stringFont style description using typography terms such as weight (100-900), style (italic, oblique), category (serif, sans-serif, display, handwriting, monospace), and characteristics (geometric, humanist, condensed, rounded). Default value: "italic style, 400 weight, serif, text, elegant"
temperature floatSampling temperature. Lower values produce more deterministic output. Default value: 0.1
seed integerRandom seed for reproducibility.
enable_safety_checker booleanEnable input safety checking. Default value: true
top_p floatTop-p (nucleus) sampling parameter. Default value: 0.95
top_k integerTop-k sampling parameter. Default value: 5
repetition_penalty floatRepetition penalty to reduce repeated SVG path segments. Default value: 1
max_tokens integerMaximum tokens to generate. Increase for longer text. Default value: 8192
output_size integerMaximum dimension (width or height) of the output SVG in pixels. The aspect ratio is preserved. Default value: 512
fill_color stringFill color for the generated glyphs. Accepts any valid SVG/CSS color value. Default value: "black"
stroke_color stringOptional stroke (outline) color for the generated glyphs. When set, adds an outline around each glyph path.
stroke_width floatStroke width in SVG units. Only applies when stroke_color is set. Default value: 1
