Generate with Ideogram 4.0 asynchronously

Accepts an Ideogram 4.0 generation request for asynchronous processing and returns immediately with a generation_id. Poll GET /v1/generations/{generation_id} to retrieve the result. If a webhook_url is supplied, the generated images are additionally POSTed to it once ready, in a payload that mirrors the synchronous response with an added generation_id for correlation.

See Webhooks for the delivery payload and how to verify webhook signatures.

Authentication

Api-Keystring

API key for access control. Use in the header with the name "Api-Key"

Query parameters

webhook_urlstringOptionalformat: "uri"

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.

A request to generate an image with Ideogram 4.0.
text_promptstringOptional

A natural-language prompt for image generation. When supplied, magic-prompt is enabled automatically. Mutually exclusive with json_prompt.

json_promptobjectOptional

A structured prompt that conforms to the Ideogram 4.0 JSON contract. When supplied, magic-prompt is disabled and the structured prompt is consumed by the diffusion model directly. Mutually exclusive with text_prompt.

resolutionenumOptional
The 1K and 2K resolutions supported for Ideogram 4.0 image generation.
rendering_speedenumOptionalDefaults to DEFAULT

The rendering speed to use. For Ideogram V4, rendering_speed=FLASH is coming soon; requests with rendering_speed=FLASH currently return a 400.

Allowed values:

Response

Request accepted for asynchronous delivery.
