# OpenAI Images Generations API Application and Usage

> OpenAI generation 集成指南 - XHuoAPI

The OpenAI Images Generations API currently supports multiple image generation models, including the classic `dall-e-3`, the text rendering enhanced `gpt-image-1`, the latest generation **`gpt-image-2`**, as well as the **`nano-banana` / `nano-banana-2` / `nano-banana-pro`** series models accessible through the same interface. All of these can generate high-quality images based on textual descriptions.

This document mainly introduces the usage process of the OpenAI Images Generations API, enabling easy access to the OpenAI series image generation features.

## Application Process

To use the OpenAI Images Generations API, first visit the [OpenAI Images Generations API](https://api.xhuoapi.ai/documents/fd932485-90c7-45d6-8394-1e14b6f07b2b) page and click the "Acquire" button to obtain the credentials required for requests:

![](https://cdn.xhuoapi.ai/nyq0xz.png)

If you are not logged in or registered, you will be automatically redirected to the login page to register and log in. After logging in or registering, you will be automatically returned to the current page.

A free quota is granted upon the first application, allowing free use of this API.

## GPT-Image-2 Model

`gpt-image-2` is a new generation image generation model launched by OpenAI. Compared to `dall-e-3` and `gpt-image-1`, it has significant improvements in the following aspects:

* **Stronger instruction adherence**: Accurately understands complex composition, counting, positional relationships, and other structured instructions.
* **Clearer text rendering**: English and numbers in posters, menus, infographics, logos, etc., are almost free of errors.
* **Richer style expression**: Natively supports various styles such as cinematic portraits, vintage posters, children's illustrations, product photography, and infographics.
* **Native multi-aspect ratio + high resolution support**: Covers 5 aspect ratios (1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16) with 3 resolution tiers (1K / 2K / 4K).

The calling method is exactly the same as other models; just set the `model` field to `gpt-image-2`. The returned `url` in the result is a permanently hosted image link on `platform.cdn.xhuoapi.ai`, which can be opened directly in a browser or embedded in a webpage.

### Supported `size` Values and Billing Tiers

`gpt-image-2` only validates the format of `size`. As long as it is not `auto` or an empty string, it must match `WIDTHxHEIGHT` (e.g., `1024x1024`, `2048x1152`, `800x600`); any other format will return 400. Billing is divided into two tiers:

* **1K Standard Price**: Input matches any 1K recommended size in the table below or common 1K output aliases from upstream (`1254x1254`, `1672x941`, `941x1672` — these are actual sizes returned upstream under the 1K tier; reusing them as `size` will not cause price jumps).
* **Other Tiers (1.5×)**: Any size not in the above 1K set, including the recommended 2K / 4K presets in the table below and any custom `WIDTHxHEIGHT` you provide.

Upstream hard constraints on custom sizes: both width and height must be multiples of 16, the longer side ≤ 3840, and total pixels ≤ 8,294,400. Sizes exceeding these limits will be rejected by upstream with a 4xx response.

| Aspect Ratio | 1K (Standard Price) | 2K Recommended (×1.5) | 4K Recommended (×1.5) |
| ------------ | ------------------- | --------------------- | --------------------- |
| 1:1          | `1024x1024`         | `2048x2048`           | `2880x2880`           |
| 4:3          | `1536x1024`         | `2048x1536`           | `3264x2448`           |
| 3:4          | `1024x1536`         | `1536x2048`           | `2448x3264`           |
| 16:9         | `1792x1024`         | `2048x1152`           | `3840x2160`           |
| 9:16         | `1024x1792`         | `1152x2048`           | `2160x3840`           |

> You can also pass `size: "auto"` or **omit the `size` field**, in which case the model will select the default size itself and charge at the 1K standard price.
>
> Upstream output under the 1K tier does not guarantee strict pixel alignment — if you pass `1024x1024`, you might receive `1254x1254` with the same aspect ratio. If you reuse that as `size`, it will still be charged at the 1K tier.
>
> 4K single calls usually take 4–8 minutes; it is recommended to use the `callback_url` asynchronous callback mechanism described later.

> **About the `n` parameter**
>
> `gpt-image-2` currently **does not support `n > 1`**: this parameter will be silently ignored. Whether you pass `n=1` or `n=10`, only one image will be returned per request and charged as one image. If you need multiple candidate images at once, please **concurrently send multiple requests** (it is recommended to pass different `prompt` or `seed` values simultaneously; otherwise, the images may be very similar). This restriction also applies to `gpt-image-1` / `gpt-image-1.5` and the `nano-banana` / `nano-banana-2` / `nano-banana-pro` series. `dall-e-2` is currently the only model that natively supports `n > 1`; `dall-e-3` only supports `n = 1`.

Below are several real examples from different perspectives to intuitively experience the capabilities of `gpt-image-2`.

### Scenario 1: Cinematic Portrait

You can use cinematic terms in the prompt (35mm film, shallow depth of field, neon lights, etc.) to precisely control the atmosphere and texture.

Python sample call code:

```python theme={null}
import requests

url = "https://api.xhuoapi.ai/v1/openai/images/generations"

headers = {
    "accept": "application/json",
    "authorization": "Bearer {token}",
    "content-type": "application/json"
}

payload = {
    "model": "gpt-image-2",
    "prompt": "A cinematic portrait of a young woman standing in a convenience store at night, illuminated by soft pink and cyan neon signs through the window. Shot on 35mm film, shallow depth of field, slight grain, melancholic mood.",
    "size": "1024x1536"
}

response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers)
print(response.text)
```

Returned result:

```json theme={null}
{
  "success": true,
  "task_id": "ab58a5df-6f46-4874-bff6-93169e2849a3",
  "created": 1777048800,
  "data": [
    {
      "revised_prompt": "A cinematic portrait of a young woman standing in a convenience store at night, illuminated by soft pink and cyan neon signs through the window. Shot on 35mm film, shallow depth of field, slight grain, melancholic mood.",
      "url": "https://platform.cdn.xhuoapi.ai/gpt-image/ab58a5df-6f46-4874-bff6-93169e2849a3_0.png"
    }
  ]
}
```

Generated image:

<p>
  <img src="https://platform.cdn.xhuoapi.ai/gpt-image/ab58a5df-6f46-4874-bff6-93169e2849a3_0.png" width="500" className="m-auto" />
</p>

### Scenario 2: Vintage Travel Poster (with Text Rendering)

`gpt-image-2` performs stably in typography and font rendering, making it very suitable for generating posters, menus, greeting cards, and other text-included designs.

```python theme={null}
payload = {
    "model": "gpt-image-2",
    "prompt": "A vintage travel poster of the Amalfi Coast, Italy. Stylized art-deco illustration of cliffside lemon-yellow houses cascading down to a turquoise sea, with a small white sailboat in the harbor. Bold typography at the top reads AMALFI and at the bottom ITALIA 1958. Limited color palette: cream, sea-blue, lemon yellow, terracotta. Slight paper-grain texture.",
    "size": "1024x1536"
}
```

Returned `url` corresponds to the following image:

<p>
  <img src="https://platform.cdn.xhuoapi.ai/gpt-image/c6061f92-3fae-498e-af8e-688e7f415ba3_0.png" width="500" className="m-auto" />
</p>

The model not only accurately reproduces the Art Deco poster visual style but also clearly and correctly renders the title texts `AMALFI` and `ITALIA 1958`.

### Scenario 3: Complex Composition and Counting

This prompt tests the model's ability to follow structured instructions like "quantity" and "position."

```python theme={null}
payload = {
    "model": "gpt-image-2",
    "prompt": "A wooden bookshelf consisting of three shelves: On the top shelf, there should be one book. On the second shelf, there should be three books. On the bottom shelf, there should be seven books. Soft warm lighting, photorealistic, cozy library atmosphere.",
    "size": "1024x1024"
}
```

Generated image:

<p>
  <img src="https://platform.cdn.xhuoapi.ai/gpt-image/64a3b932-a082-4cad-9f85-9d30474b104d_0.png" width="500" className="m-auto" />
</p>

The number of books on the three shelves (1 / 3 / 7) exactly matches the prompt, which was difficult to achieve stably in the `dall-e-3` era.

### Scenario 4: Illustration Style (Landscape)

By specifying artistic media and mood keywords, you can guide the model to produce stylized illustrations.

```python theme={null}
payload = {
    "model": "gpt-image-2",
    "prompt": "A soft, poetic children's book illustration of a small fox reading a book under a glowing mushroom in a moonlit forest. Watercolor and pencil texture, gentle pastel colors, dreamy atmosphere, hand-drawn feel.",
    "size": "1536x1024"
}
```

Generated landscape illustration:

![](https://platform.cdn.xhuoapi.ai/gpt-image/6cd57e69-d237-4cc1-a666-759a93964a08_0.png)

### Asynchronous and Callback

`gpt-image-2` single calls usually take 60–90 seconds. If you do not want to keep a long connection, you can use the `callback_url` asynchronous callback mechanism introduced later. The calling process is exactly the same as other models.

## Nano Banana Series Models

The `nano-banana` series are image generation models based on Gemini, integrated through the same `/openai/images/generations` interface without switching endpoints. Just change the `model` to any one in the table below.

| Model             | Billing (Credits / call) | Suitable Scenarios                                         |
| ----------------- | ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| `nano-banana`     | 0.14                     | General image generation, fastest speed, lowest cost       |
| `nano-banana-2`   | 0.28                     | Significant quality and detail improvement                 |
| `nano-banana-pro` | 0.35                     | Flagship of the series, best composition, detail, and text |

> **Important: Supported Parameters**
>
> Nano Banana is adapted to the OpenAI protocol via an adapter layer and supports only the following parameters compared to `gpt-image-*`: `model`, `prompt`, `size`.
>
> * `size` is mapped to internal `aspect_ratio` as per the table below; unspecified sizes degrade to `1:1`:
>   * `1024x1024` / `512x512` / `256x256` → `1:1`
>   * `1792x1024` → `16:9`
>   * `1024x1792` → `9:16`
> * Does not support `n`, `quality`, `style`, `response_format`, `background`, `output_format`, etc.; these will be ignored if provided.
> * Returns follow OpenAI format (`data[].url`), but `created` is fixed at `0`, no `b64_json` returned, and `revised_prompt` always equals the original `prompt`.

### Basic Call

```python theme={null}
import requests

url = "https://api.xhuoapi.ai/v1/openai/images/generations"

headers = {
    "accept": "application/json",
    "authorization": "Bearer {token}",
    "content-type": "application/json"
}

payload = {
    "model": "nano-banana",
    "prompt": "a small red apple on a white table, photoreal",
    "size": "1024x1024"
}

response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers)
print(response.text)
```

Returned result:

```json theme={null}
{
  "created": 0,
  "data": [
    {
      "url": "https://platform.cdn.xhuoapi.ai/nanobanana/6870b330-65c4-436c-bb80-819fdae7a7a4.png",
      "revised_prompt": "a small red apple on a white table, photoreal"
    }
  ]
}
```

Generated image can be accessed directly via the returned `url`:

<p>
  <img src="https://platform.cdn.xhuoapi.ai/nanobanana/6870b330-65c4-436c-bb80-819fdae7a7a4.png" width="500" className="m-auto" />
</p>

### Upgrade to Flagship Model `nano-banana-pro`

Simply change `model` to `nano-banana-pro`, with all other parameters unchanged:

```python theme={null}
payload = {
    "model": "nano-banana-pro",
    "prompt": "abstract painting",
    "size": "1024x1024"
}
```

Sample return:

```json theme={null}
{
  "created": 0,
  "data": [
    {
      "url": "https://platform.cdn.xhuoapi.ai/nanobanana/6227fcc9-3442-4aa3-a76c-4a4441a99649.png",
      "revised_prompt": "abstract painting"
    }
  ]
}
```

<p>
  <img src="https://platform.cdn.xhuoapi.ai/nanobanana/6227fcc9-3442-4aa3-a76c-4a4441a99649.png" width="500" className="m-auto" />
</p>

### Asynchronous Callback

The `callback_url` asynchronous callback mechanism also applies to nano-banana; the calling process is exactly the same as other models. See the [Asynchronous Callback](#asynchronous-callback) section below.

## Basic Usage

Next, you can fill in the corresponding content on the interface, as shown:

<p>
  <img src="https://cdn.xhuoapi.ai/zv58ug.png" width="500" className="m-auto" />
</p>

When using this interface for the first time, at least three fields need to be filled: one is `authorization`, which can be selected directly from the dropdown list; another is `model`, which is the OpenAI DALL-E official model category you choose to use. Here we mainly have one model; details can be seen in our provided models. The last parameter is `prompt`, which is the text prompt for image generation.

You can also notice the corresponding generated call code on the right side, which you can copy and run directly or click the "Try" button to test.

<p>
  <img src="https://cdn.xhuoapi.ai/pbss4f.png" width="500" className="m-auto" />
</p>

Python sample call code:

```python theme={null}
import requests

url = "https://api.xhuoapi.ai/v1/openai/images/generations"

headers = {
    "accept": "application/json",
    "authorization": "Bearer {token}",
    "content-type": "application/json"
}

payload = {
    "model": "dall-e-3",
    "prompt": "A cute baby sea otter"
}

response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers)
print(response.text)
```

After calling, the returned result is:

```json theme={null}
{
  "created": 1721626477,
  "data": [
    {
      "revised_prompt": "A delightful image showcasing a young sea otter, who is born brown, with wide charming eyes. It is delightfully lying on its back, paddling in the calm sea waters. Its dense, velvety fur appears wet and shimmering, capturing the essence of its habitat. The small creature curiously plays with a sea shell with its small paws, looking absolutely innocent and charming in its natural environment.",
      "url": "https://dalleprodsec.blob.core.windows.net/private/images/5d98aa7c-80c6-4523-b571-fc606ad455b9/generated_00.png?se=2024-07-23T05%3A34%3A48Z&sig=GAz%2Bi3%2BkHOQwAMhxcv22tBM%2FaexrxPgT9V0DbNrL4ik%3D&ske=2024-07-23T08%3A41%3A10Z&skoid=e52d5ed7-0657-4f62-bc12-7e5dbb260a96&sks=b&skt=2024-07-16T08%3A41%3A10Z&sktid=33e01921-4d64-4f8c-a055-5bdaffd5e33d&skv=2020-10-02&sp=r&spr=https&sr=b&sv=2020-10-02"
    }
  ]
}
```

The returned result contains multiple fields, described as follows:

* `created`: the ID representing this image generation task, used to uniquely identify this task.
* `data`: contains the image generation result information.

`data` contains the specific information of the generated image by the model; its `url` is the detail link of the generated image, as shown below.

<p>
  <img src="https://cdn.xhuoapi.ai/dz7u0x.png" width="500" className="m-auto" />
</p>

## Image Quality Parameter `quality`

Next, we introduce how to set detailed parameters for the image generation result. The image quality parameter `quality` includes two options: `standard` means generating a standard image, and `hd` means creating an image with finer details and greater consistency.

Below is the setting for the image quality parameter as `standard`, as shown:

<p>
  <img src="https://cdn.xhuoapi.ai/1q303w.png" width="500" className="m-auto" />

Python sample call code:

```python theme={null}
import requests

url = "https://api.xhuoapi.ai/v1/openai/images/generations"

headers = {
    "accept": "application/json",
    "authorization": "Bearer {token}",
    "content-type": "application/json"
}

payload = {
    "model": "dall-e-3",
    "prompt": "A cute baby sea otter",
    "quality": "standard"
}

response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers)
print(response.text)
```

Returned result:

```json theme={null}
{
  "created": 1721636023,
  "data": [
    {
      "revised_prompt": "A cute baby sea otter is lying playfully on its back in the water, with its fur looking glossy and soft. One of its tiny paws is reaching out curiously, and it has an expression of pure joy and warmth on its face as it looks up to the sky. Its body is surrounded by bubbles from its playful twirling in the water. A gentle breeze is playing with its fur making it look more charming. The scene portrays the tranquility and charm of marine life.",
      "url": "https://dalleprodsec.blob.core.windows.net/private/images/a93ee5e7-3abd-4923-8d79-dc9ef126da46/generated_00.png?se=2024-07-23T08%3A13%3A55Z&sig=wTXGYvUOwUIkaB2CxjK9ww%2FHjS8OwYUWcYInXYKwcAM%3D&ske=2024-07-23T11%3A32%3A05Z&skoid=e52d5ed7-0657-4f62-bc12-7e5dbb260a96&sks=b&skt=2024-07-16T11%3A32%3A05Z&sktid=33e01921-4d64-4f8c-a055-5bdaffd5e33d&skv=2020-10-02&sp=r&spr=https&sr=b&sv=2020-10-02"
    }
  ]
}
```

The returned result is consistent with basic usage. The generated image with `quality` set to `standard` is shown below:

<p>
  <img src="https://cdn.xhuoapi.ai/j5v15b.png" width="500" className="m-auto" />
</p>

Performing the same operation but setting the image quality parameter to `hd` yields the following image:

<p>
  <img src="https://cdn.xhuoapi.ai/vjpbqr.png" width="500" className="m-auto" />
</p>

`hd` generates images with finer details and greater consistency compared to `standard`.

## Image Size Parameter `size`

You can also set the size of the generated image. Below is the setting for image size as `1024 * 1024`, as shown:

<p>
  <img src="https://cdn.xhuoapi.ai/dx5rwh.png" width="500" className="m-auto" />

The background should hint at a diverse marine ecosystem, with visible strands of kelp floating on the surface, suggesting the baby otter's preferred environment.",
      "url": "https://dalleprodsec.blob.core.windows.net/private/images/9d625ac6-fd2b-42a9-84a6-8c99eb357ccf/generated_00.png?se=2024-07-23T08%3A24%3A24Z&sig=AXtYXowEakGxfRp8LhC2DwqL%2F07LhEDW40oCP%2BdTO8s%3D&ske=2024-07-23T18%3A00%3A45Z&skoid=e52d5ed7-0657-4f62-bc12-7e5dbb260a96&sks=b&skt=2024-07-16T18%3A00%3A45Z&sktid=33e01921-4d64-4f8c-a055-5bdaffd5e33d&skv=2020-10-02&sp=r&spr=https&sr=b&sv=2020-10-02"
    }
  ]
}
```

The returned result is consistent with basic usage. The generated image with size `1024 * 1024` is shown below:

<p>
  <img src="https://cdn.xhuoapi.ai/o4pvvx.png" width="500" className="m-auto" />
</p>

Performing the same operation but setting the image size to `1792 * 1024` yields the following image:

![](https://cdn.xhuoapi.ai/4pilae.png)

The image size is obviously different. You can also set more sizes; for details, refer to our official documentation.

## Image Style Parameter `style`

The image style parameter `style` includes two options: `vivid` means the generated image is more vivid, and `natural` means the generated image is more natural.

Below is the setting for the image style parameter as `vivid`, as shown:

}
```

The returned result is consistent with basic usage. The generated image with `style` set to `vivid` is shown below:

<p>
  <img src="https://cdn.xhuoapi.ai/e0rpc3.png" width="500" className="m-auto" />
</p>

Performing the same operation but setting the image style parameter to `natural` yields the following image:

<p>
  <img src="https://cdn.xhuoapi.ai/q9tqwu.png" width="500" className="m-auto" />
</p>

`vivid` generates images that are more vivid and lifelike compared to `natural`.

## Image Link Format Parameter `response_format`

The last parameter is the image link format `response_format`, which has two options: `b64_json` encodes the image link in Base64, and `url` is a normal image link that can be viewed directly.

Below is the setting for the image link format parameter as `url`, as shown:

<p>
  <img src="https://cdn.xhuoapi.ai/2zbgrg.png" width="500" className="m-auto" />
</p>

The otter is gently floating on a calm blue sea, basking in the warm, golden rays of sunlight streaming down from a clear sky above. The otter's fur is a rich chocolate brown, and it looks incredibly soft and fluffy. The otter's eyes are bright and expressive, filled with childlike curiosity and joy. It has small, pricked ears and a button-like nose which adds to its overall cuteness. In the sea around it, twinkling droplets of water can be seen, pepped up by the sunlight, the sight is certainly a delightful one."

## Asynchronous Callback

Because the OpenAI Images Generations API may take a relatively long time to generate images, if the API does not respond for a long time, the HTTP request will keep the connection open, causing additional system resource consumption. Therefore, this API also supports asynchronous callbacks.

The overall process is: when the client initiates a request, it additionally specifies a `callback_url` field. After the client sends the API request, the API immediately returns a result containing a `task_id` field, representing the current task ID. When the task is completed, the generated image result will be sent to the client’s specified `callback_url` via POST JSON, including the `task_id` field, so the task result can be correlated by ID.

Below is an example to understand the specific operation.

First, the Webhook callback is a service that can receive HTTP requests; developers should replace it with their own HTTP server URL. For demonstration, a public Webhook sample site [https://webhook.site/](https://webhook.site/) is used. Opening this site provides a Webhook URL, as shown:

![](https://cdn.xhuoapi.ai/cjjfly.png)

Copy this URL, which can be used as a Webhook. The example here is `https://webhook.site/3d32690d-6780-4187-a65c-870061e8c8ab`.

Next, set the `callback_url` field to the above Webhook URL and fill in the corresponding parameters, as in the following code:

```python theme={null}
import requests

url = "https://api.xhuoapi.ai/v1/openai/images/generations"

headers = {
    "accept": "application/json",
    "authorization": "Bearer {token}",
    "content-type": "application/json"
}

payload = {
    "model": "dall-e-3",
    "prompt": "A cute baby sea otter",
    "callback_url": "https://webhook.site/3d32690d-6780-4187-a65c-870061e8c8ab"
}

response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers)
print(response.text)
```

Clicking run, you will immediately get a result like:

```json theme={null}
{
  "task_id": "6a97bf49-df50-4129-9e46-119aa9fca73c"
}
```

After a short wait, you can observe the generated image result on the Webhook URL, as follows:

```json theme={null}
{
  "success": true,
  "task_id": "6a97bf49-df50-4129-9e46-119aa9fca73c",
  "trace_id": "9b4b1ff3-90f2-470f-b082-1061ec2948cc",
  "data": {
    "created": 1721626477,
    "data": [
      {
        "revised_prompt": "A delightful image showcasing a young sea otter...",
        "url": "https://dalleprodsec.blob.core.windows.net/private/images/..."
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

You can see the result contains a `task_id` field, and the `data` field includes the same image generation results as synchronous calls. The `task_id` field enables task correlation.

## Error Handling

When calling the API, if an error occurs, the API will return the corresponding error code and message. For example:

* `400 token_mismatched`: Bad request, possibly due to missing or invalid parameters.
* `400 api_not_implemented`: Bad request, possibly due to missing or invalid parameters.
* `401 invalid_token`: Unauthorized, invalid or missing authorization token.
* `429 too_many_requests`: Too many requests, you have exceeded the rate limit.
* `500 api_error`: Internal server error, something went wrong on the server.

### Error Response Example

```json theme={null}
{
  "success": false,
  "error": {
    "code": "api_error",
    "message": "fetch failed"
  },
  "trace_id": "2cf86e86-22a4-46e1-ac2f-032c0f2a4e89"
}
```
