# Ideogram V4.0q [instant] API

> Hurtigste tekst-til-billede-variant af Ideogram V4.0q med læselig tekst og et minimalt parametersæt

En strømlinet tekst-til-billede-model til plakater, logoer og designs med læselig tekst. Input er begrænset til prompten, `image_size` med seks forudindstillinger, `num_images` fra 1 til 4, `seed` og jpeg- eller png-output. `expansion_model` kan kun være None eller Medium. Den har ingen muligheder for renderingshastighed eller LoRA.

- Model id: `ideogram/v4/instant`

- Category: Text to Image
- Output: image
- Price per megapixel of your output image: $0.0075 / megapixel of output image (cheapest run $0.008 (8 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/ideogram/v4/instant`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/ideogram/v4/instant`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/da/developers/models/ideogram/v4/instant

## Pricing

Price: **$0.0075 / megapixel of output image**. Price per megapixel of your output image: the input files are measured before the run (length, resolution, frame rate). The quote measures the same files and is exactly what the run charges.

The full example input below costs $0.008 = 8 API credits (1 MP output image × $0.0075).

Prices are the upstream price in USD, paid from the API balance in API credits (1000 API credits = 1 USD). `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/ideogram/v4/instant` with the same JSON body returns the exact price for that input; the quote is exactly what a run charges. Invalid input is never charged and failed or canceled requests are refunded automatically.

## Input parameters

Send either the canonical name or the native field name (not both). Canonical names are the same across models.

| Parameter | Canonical name | Type | Required | Default | Allowed values / range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `prompt` |  | string | yes |  |  | Prompt, der styrer billedgenerering. |
| `expansion_model` |  | enum (string) | no | `Medium` | `None`, `Medium` | Valg af promptudvidelse, der tilbyder den hurtige magic prompt-model via 'Medium' eller ingen udvidelse via 'None'. |
| `image_size` |  | object {width, height} \| enum (string) | no | `square_hd` | `square_hd`, `square`, `portrait_4_3`, `portrait_16_9`, `landscape_4_3`, `landscape_16_9` | Opløsning for det billede, der genereres. |
| `num_images` | `num_outputs` | integer | no | `1` | 1 – 4 | Antal billeder, der skal produceres. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Seed til generering, vælges tilfældigt, medmindre du angiver en værdi. |
| `enable_safety_checker` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Sikkerhedskontrol, hvis deaktivering kræver kontogodkendelse. Uden denne godkendelse kontrolleres alle anmodninger uanset indstillingen; true aktiverer kontrollen. |
| `output_format` |  | enum (string) | no | `jpeg` | `jpeg`, `png` | Filformat for det resulterende billede. |

## Example input

Required parameters only:

```json
{
  "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
}
```

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
}
```

## Run it

Set `DOITONG_API_KEY` to a key from https://doitong.com/developers/dashboard#keys. `?wait=20` returns the finished request in the same call when it is ready within 20 seconds; otherwise poll `GET /requests/{id}` (it also accepts `?wait=`), or pass `webhook_url`.

### curl

```bash
# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
curl -X POST "https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/ideogram/v4/instant?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
  }'

# Still "queued" or "running"? Poll with the id from the response:
curl "https://api.doitong.com/v1/requests/REQUEST_ID?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY"
```

### JavaScript

```javascript
const API = "https://api.doitong.com/v1";
const headers = {
  "Authorization": "Bearer " + process.env.DOITONG_API_KEY,
  "Content-Type": "application/json",
};

// Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
let res = await fetch(API + "/run/ideogram/v4/instant?wait=20", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
  }),
});
let request = await res.json();
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(request.error.code + ": " + request.error.message);

// Not finished yet: long-poll until it is
while (request.status === "queued" || request.status === "running") {
  res = await fetch(API + "/requests/" + request.id + "?wait=20", { headers });
  request = await res.json();
}
if (request.status !== "succeeded") throw new Error(JSON.stringify(request.error));
console.log(request.outputs.map((o) => o.url), request.cost.credits + " API credits ($" + request.cost.usd + ")");
```

### Python

```python
import os
import requests

API = "https://api.doitong.com/v1"
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + os.environ["DOITONG_API_KEY"]}

payload = {
    "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field",
}

# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
r = requests.post(API + "/run/ideogram/v4/instant", params={"wait": 20}, json=payload, headers=headers)
request = r.json()
if not r.ok:
    raise RuntimeError(request["error"]["code"] + ": " + request["error"]["message"])

# Not finished yet: long-poll until it is
while request["status"] in ("queued", "running"):
    request = requests.get(API + "/requests/" + request["id"], params={"wait": 20}, headers=headers).json()
if request["status"] != "succeeded":
    raise RuntimeError(request["error"])
print([o["url"] for o in request["outputs"]], request["cost"]["credits"], "API credits", "$" + request["cost"]["usd"])
```

### MCP

The MCP server at `https://api.doitong.com/v1/mcp` exposes the tools `search_models`, `get_model`, `quote`, `run`, `get_request`, `cancel_request`, `list_requests`, `create_upload` and `get_account`. A `run` call for this model:

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "run",
    "arguments": {
      "model_id": "ideogram/v4/instant",
      "input": {
        "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
      },
      "wait_seconds": 20
    }
  }
}
```

## Response

Every call returns a request object. `status` is one of `queued`, `running`, `succeeded`, `failed`, `canceled`. `outputs` lists the generated files with URLs on our storage (kept forever, or 7 days with `?storage=temporary`; `storage` says which); `output` is the model's own result object with the same URLs.
