## Input Schema

| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Constraints | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------|-------------|
| prompt | string | Yes | - | - | Text description of the desired image. |
| num_images | integer | No | 1 | 1–4 | Number of images to generate. |

## Example Request

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.eachlabs.ai/v1/prediction/ \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "model": "xai-grok-imagine-text-to-image",
  "input": {
    "prompt": "Abstract wave made of liquid glass and glowing particles, flowing water transforming into light sparks and mist, smooth fluid motion, dark background, high contrast cinematic lighting, volumetric fog, ultra detailed, surreal fine art, slow motion, elegant minimal aesthetic, 8k"
  }
}'
```

## Output Schema

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

```json
{
  "status": "success",
  "predictionID": "string",
  "output": "array",
  "metrics": {
    "predict_time": "number (seconds)"
  }
}
```

## Polling

```bash
curl https://api.eachlabs.ai/v1/prediction/{PREDICTION_ID} \
  -H "X-API-Key: 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 `X-API-Key` |
| `404` | Unknown model or prediction id |
| `429` | Rate limit — 100 creates / min, 10 concurrent per key |
| `5xx` | Retry with backoff |

## Overview

**xai-grok-imagine-text-to-image — Text-to-Image AI Model**

Developed by xAI as part of the grok-imagine family, **xai-grok-imagine-text-to-image** transforms text prompts into high-quality, detailed images in seconds. This text-to-image AI model solves the core creative challenge: converting ideas into polished visuals without requiring design skills, photography equipment, or lengthy production cycles. Whether you're prototyping concepts, generating marketing assets, or exploring creative directions, this model delivers aesthetic results across multiple visual styles—from ultra-realistic photography to anime, oil paintings, and pencil sketches.

What distinguishes xai-grok-imagine-text-to-image from other text-to-image generators is its exceptional speed combined with high-fidelity text rendering within images. The model excels at embedding legible, accurate text directly into generated visuals—a capability that most image generation models struggle with—making it invaluable for creating branded graphics, social media posts, and marketing collateral where text precision matters. Built on optimized GPU-backed architecture, it delivers results with ~150ms latency per image, enabling rapid iteration and experimentation without the wait times typical of cinematic-quality alternatives.

## Usage Notes

- API Base URL: `https://api.eachlabs.ai/v1`
- Authentication: send `X-API-Key: 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.
