Quickstart

Create an API key

Sign in and create a key in API keys. Save it when it is first shown. Add credits in Billing.

Set SEEDROUTER_API_KEY in your server environment. Python examples require the requests package.

Submit a task

curl https://api.seedrouter.ai/v1/images/generations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SEEDROUTER_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-image-2",
    "prompt": "An amber glass bottle on a cream background, studio lighting",
    "size": "1024x1024",
    "quality": "low"
  }'

Read the result

Store the returned id, then query it with the same account's API key:

curl https://api.seedrouter.ai/v1/tasks/YOUR_TASK_ID \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SEEDROUTER_API_KEY"

Repeat every three seconds while the status is processing. When it is completed, read output.data[].url. If it is failed, inspect error.

A polling timeout does not cancel generation. Save the task ID and resume querying it instead of submitting another generation request.

See Tasks for a complete polling example and GPT Image 2 for editing, quality, and size options.
