## API Information

This model uses a **synchronous response pattern**:
1. Make a POST request with your parameters
2. Receive the output directly in the response (binary for images/videos/audio, JSON for text)
3. No polling required - response is immediate


### Input Schema

The API accepts the following input parameters:

- **`prompt`** (`string`, _required_):
  Prompt
  Describe the image; put exact in-image text in quotes. More detail improves design and typography.
  - Default: `"A vintage-style travel poster of Tokyo at night, glowing neon signs reflecting on wet streets, a bold title reading \"TOKYO\" across the top and the tagline \"Where Tradition Meets Tomorrow\" below, vibrant teal and magenta palette, clean retro print design"`

- **`rendering_speed`** (`string | null`, _optional_):
  Rendering speed
  Speed/quality tradeoff. Use QUALITY for text-heavy design, TURBO for fast cheap drafts.
  - Default: `"QUALITY"`
  - Options: "TURBO" (TURBO), "BALANCED" (BALANCED), "QUALITY" (QUALITY)

- **`image_size`** (`string | null`, _optional_):
  Image size
  Output aspect ratio and resolution. Portrait suits posters, landscape banners, square_hd is default.
  - Default: `"square_hd"`
  - Options: "square_hd" (square_hd), "square" (square), "portrait_4_3" (portrait_4_3), "portrait_16_9" (portrait_16_9), "landscape_4_3" (landscape_4_3), "landscape_16_9" (landscape_16_9)

- **`num_images`** (`integer | null`, _optional_):
  Number of images
  Images generated per request, 1 to 8. Raise to compare variations in one call.
  - Default: `1`
  - Range: 1 to 8

- **`enable_prompt_expansion`** (`boolean | null`, _optional_):
  Prompt expansion
  LLM expands your prompt for richer detail. Disable when exact in-image text must stay unchanged.
  - Default: `true`

- **`output_format`** (`string | null`, _optional_):
  Output format
  Image file format. jpeg for smaller files, png for transparency and crisp text edges.
  - Default: `"jpeg"`
  - Options: "jpeg" (jpeg), "png" (png)

- **`seed`** (`integer | null`, _optional_):
  Seed
  Random seed; -1 randomizes. Fix a value to reproduce the same image across runs.
  - Default: `123456`
  - Range: 100 to 999999

- **`enable_safety_checker`** (`boolean | null`, _optional_):
  Safety checker
  Filters unsafe content from outputs. Keep enabled for production and public-facing apps.
  - Default: `true`
