## Example Request

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.eachlabs.ai/v1/prediction/ \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "model": "ideogram-character",
  "input": {
    "character_reference_image": "https://cdn-us.eachlabs.ai/defaults/050a508b1fdfe1fe82dd13d74c70f65a8ebbaceb2328268d13ae9c9efda17f91.jpg",
    "prompt": "A realistic close-up portrait photo of a young woman in a forest, standing among trees, soft natural daylight, sharp focus, natural expression, professional photography style."
  }
}'
```

## Output Schema

Response returned by `GET /v1/prediction/{id}` when the job completes:

```json
{
  "status": "success",
  "predictionID": "string",
  "output": "string (URL of generated image)",
  "metrics": {
    "predict_time": "number (seconds)"
  }
}
```

## Polling

```bash
curl https://api.eachlabs.ai/v1/prediction/{PREDICTION_ID} \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
```

| Status | Meaning |
|--------|---------|
| `processing` | Still running — poll again |
| `success` | Done — read `output` |
| `error` | Failed — read `message` / `details` |

## Webhook (alternative to polling)

Pass `"webhook_url": "https://your.host/path"` in the create request. Eachlabs POSTs this payload when the job ends:

```json
{
  "exec_id": "prediction-uuid",
  "status": "succeeded",
  "output": "https://...",
  "error": ""
}
```

`status` is `"succeeded"` or `"failed"`. `exec_id` equals the `predictionID` from create. Return 2xx within 30 seconds.

## Errors

Error body: `{ "status": "error", "message": "...", "details": "..." }`

| Code | Meaning |
|------|---------|
| `400` | Invalid input |
| `401` | Missing / invalid `Authorization` bearer token |
| `404` | Unknown model or prediction id |
| `429` | Rate limit — 100 creates / min, 10 concurrent per key |
| `5xx` | Retry with backoff |

## Overview

**ideogram-character — Image-to-Image AI Model**

ideogram-character empowers creators to generate consistent characters from a single reference image, transforming one photo into multiple styles while maintaining facial identity and details. Developed by Ideogram as part of the ideogram family, this **image-to-image AI model** excels at character consistency, solving the challenge of repetitive redesigns in storytelling, marketing, and game development. With inpainting capabilities, it seamlessly places characters into existing scenes, delivering high-fidelity outputs up to 2048x2048 resolution after upscaling.

Ideal for users seeking "Ideogram image-to-image" tools, ideogram-character supports diverse aspect ratios like 1:1, 16:9, and 9:16, producing results in seconds via efficient processing. Whether you're building an AI image editor API or crafting visuals for e-commerce, this model ensures reliable character preservation across generations.

## Usage Notes

- API Base URL: `https://api.eachlabs.ai/v1`
- Authentication: send `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY`. Generate a key from the Eachlabs dashboard at https://www.eachlabs.ai/dashboard/api-keys.
- File-typed parameters (`*_url`, `image_url`, `video_url`, `audio_url`, etc.) accept publicly-reachable HTTPS URLs only. Upload your asset first (GCS / S3 / your CDN) and pass the resulting URL. Data-URIs and localhost URLs are rejected.
- For structured parameters (arrays / objects) send real JSON values, not stringified payloads.
- Monetary values are reported in USD; per-token / per-megapixel rates may be billed in micro-cents internally.
- Prefer `webhook_url` over polling for long-running predictions — see the Webhook Callback section.
