API Endpoint

POSThttps://api.segmind.com/v1/flux-kontext-dev

Parameters

input_imagerequired
string (uri)

Reference image for context. Use jpeg, png, gif, or webp for varied image integrations.

Default: "https://images.segmind.com/generations/901b78cd-381a-4284-8391-306d4c7409e1/6852c6602b5db2d623cc373cfa699b55.webp"
promptrequired
string

Describe generation task or image edits. Use clear and specific instructions for best results.

Default: "Replace the background with a bokeh light effect, zooming in on the subject, keeping the person’s pose, position, scale, and camera angle identical. Only change the surrounding environment. "
aspect_ratiooptional
string

Select aspect ratio. Match input for consistency; use fixed for specific dimensions.

Default: "match_input_image"
Allowed values (12 total):
"1:1""16:9""21:9""3:2""2:3""4:5""5:4""3:4""4:3""9:16"+2 more
disable_safety_checkeroptional
boolean

Turn off NSFW filter. Use with caution if needing unrestricted content.

Default: false
guidanceoptional
number

Determines adherence to prompt. Use higher values for more precision.

Default: 7Range: 0 - 10
num_inference_stepsoptional
integer

Specify number of processing steps. Use more steps for complex images and fewer for faster results.

Default: 35Range: 4 - 50
output_formatoptional
string

Specify output format. Use webp for compressibility; jpg or png for compatibility.

Default: "png"
Allowed values :
"webp""jpg""png"
output_qualityoptional
integer

Determine output image quality. Use high values for detailed images and adjustments for jpg outputs.

Default: 90Range: 0 - 100
seedoptional
integer

Set a random seed for reproducibility. Use for consistent results; leave blank for randomness.

Default: 42

Response Type

Returns: Image

Asynchronous requests (v2)

Use Async for video, long-running (>~60s), or high-concurrency workloads; Sync is simplest for fast image & LLM calls. Async submits a request and you poll it to completion.

  1. 1
    POST /v2/flux-kontext-dev

    Submitreturns request_id, status_url, response_url

  2. 2
    GET /v2/requests/{id}/status

    Polluntil COMPLETED or FAILED

  3. 3
    GET /v2/requests/{id}

Status states

QUEUEDAccepted, waiting for a worker
PROCESSINGRunning on a worker
COMPLETEDDone — result body is ready
FAILEDErrored (incl. content/RAI blocks)
  • A FAILED request is served as HTTP 422 — the body still carries the error detail.
  • An unknown or expired request_id returns HTTP 404.
  • Results are retained for 1 hour, then expire.
  • Content / RAI blocks surface as FAILED, not a separate state.
  • Track completion by polling the status endpoint.
