# Generate SVG with GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst

POST https://api.ideogram.ai/v2/svg/generate/gpt-image-2-6-sunburst
Content-Type: application/json

Generates SVG artwork from a prompt with GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst. The model renders an image and writes it out as SVG markup. Text prompts only: reference images are not supported.

Reference: https://developer.ideogram.ai/api-reference/svg-generate/post-generate-svg-gpt-image-26-sunburst

## Authentication

- `Api-Key` header (required) — API key for access control. Use in the header with the name \"Api-Key\"

## Request

### Query parameters

- `dry_run` (boolean, optional, default: false) — When true, the request is validated and priced but not run: nothing is generated, stored, or billed, and no safety review is performed. The response is a `PriceQuote` object instead of the usual response for this endpoint. Send exactly the request you would send to generate, so the quote reflects the same options.

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects a GenerateSvgGptImage26SunburstRequest.

- `prompt` (string, required) — What the SVG should show, passed to the model as written.
- `aspect_ratio` (string, optional, default: auto) — The output aspect ratio, for example "1:1", "16:9", or "9:16". "auto" (the default) lets the model choose a shape that suits the prompt. The long:short ratio is at most 3:1.
- `quality` (enum, optional, default: auto) — How much rendering effort GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst spends on the image the SVG is drawn from. Lower tiers return sooner and cost less; `auto` lets the model choose, which it currently renders at `high`.
  - Allowed values: `auto`, `low`, `medium`, `high`, `xhigh`, `max`
- `thinking_level` (enum, optional, default: high) — How much the model plans before it renders, separate from `quality`. Lower levels return sooner.
  - Allowed values: `low`, `medium`, `high`
- `num_images` (integer, optional, default: 1)
- `seed` (integer, optional) — Random seed. Set for reproducible generation.
- `private` (boolean, optional) — Outputs are private by default. Enterprise outputs are always private.
- `target_collection_id` (string, optional) — URL-safe base64 ID of a writable destination collection.
- `webhook_url` (string, optional) — HTTPS URL that Ideogram delivers the generated result to. Ideogram sends a JSON POST to this URL once all images for the request have finished generating. The body mirrors the synchronous generate response: `request_id`, `created`, and a `data` array containing every generated image (`url`, `prompt`, `resolution`, `seed`, `is_image_safe`). Each delivery is signed with Ed25519 and verifiable against the public keys at `https://api.ideogram.ai/v1/.well-known/jwks.json`. Must be HTTPS; private and loopback hosts and the cloud metadata service are rejected.

## Response

### 200

Generation accepted. Dry runs return a PriceQuote.

- `generation_id` (string, required) — URL-safe base64 generation ID. Poll the shared generations endpoint for SVG results.

## Errors

### 400 Bad Request Error

Invalid prompt or settings.

- `any`

### 401 Unauthorized Error

Authentication required.

- `any`

### 403 Forbidden Error

Access denied.

- `any`

### 429 Too Many Requests Error

Too many requests.

- `error` (string, required) — A message describing why the generation request was rejected.
- `reject_reason` (enum, required) — The account or usage limit that rejected a generation request.
  - Allowed values: `insufficient_funds`, `subscription_required`, `daily_limit`, `priority_credit_required`, `inflight_limit`, `feature_limit`, `app_user_limit`
- `max_inflight_requests` (integer, optional) — How many generations the account may have in progress at once on the queue this request resolved to. Present when `reject_reason` is `inflight_limit`.
- `task_completion_speed` (enum, optional) — The queue this request resolved to. Present when `reject_reason` is `inflight_limit`.
  - Allowed values: `fast`, `slow`

### 503 Service Unavailable Error

Generation is unavailable.

- `any`
