The prompt guides image creation; use detailed descriptions for specific results. Example: 'A futuristic cityscape at sunset.'
The seed ensures reproducibility; set it for consistent output, omit for variation.
Resolution affects image detail; higher values for precise detail, lower for speed.
Allowed values:
Aspect ratio formats your image; select '1x1' for square, '16x9' for widescreen.
Allowed values:
Rendering speed affects time taken; 'TURBO' for faster, 'QUALITY' for detailed results.
Allowed values:
Magic Prompt helps enhance descriptions; use 'ON' for complex scenes, 'OFF' for simplicity.
Allowed values:
Exclude elements by specifying negatives; e.g., 'No people, cars'.
Style codes customize look; use predefined codes for specific styles.
Style type influences art style; choose 'REALISTIC' for lifelike, 'DESIGN' for artistic.
Allowed values:
To keep track of your credit usage, you can inspect the response headers of each API call. The x-remaining-credits property will indicate the number of remaining credits in your account. Ensure you monitor this value to avoid any disruptions in your API usage.

Mastering Ideogram 3.0: A Quick-Start Guide
Ideogram 3.0 delivers industry-leading photorealism, advanced typography, and seamless style control. Use this guide to craft precise prompts, optimize parameters for different workflows, and unlock the full potential of text-to-image generation.
1. Crafting Your Prompt
• Be specific: include subject, environment, mood, lighting, and focal details (“A modern workspace with wooden desk, soft afternoon light, potted succulents, and MacBook Pro”).
• Leverage positive and negative prompts: highlight what you want, then exclude unwanted elements (“No clutter, no people”).
• Use Magic Prompt (AUTO/ON) for complex scenes; switch OFF when you need full manual control.
2. Core Parameters Overview
• Resolution (e.g. 1024x1024): higher → more detail; lower → faster.
• Aspect Ratio (1x1, 16x9, etc.): frame your composition for social, widescreen, or print.
• Rendering Speed (TURBO, DEFAULT, QUALITY): balance speed vs. fidelity.
• Seed: fix for reproducible results; omit for endless variations.
• Style Type (REALISTIC, DESIGN, GENERAL): match your creative intent.
• Color Palette: choose predefined or custom hex values to enforce brand colors.
• Style Codes: save or apply codes from prior runs for consistent aesthetics.
