# Bria Expand (FIBO-Edit-1.5) API

> Outpainting tool that extends an image to a new aspect ratio or custom canvas under 25 megapixels

Extends an image beyond its borders. Choose one of nine `aspect_ratio` values, or define a `canvas_size` as [width, height] with area under 25 megapixels plus `original_image_size` and `original_image_location`. An optional `prompt` describes the new area. `retain_original_quality` and `preserve_alpha` are on by default, and `return_model_output` is for diagnostics.

- Made by: Bria AI
- Category: Image Editing
- Output: image
- Price: $0.04 / image (cheapest run $0.04 (40 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/bria/fibo-edit-1.5/expand`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/bria/fibo-edit-1.5/expand`

## Pricing

Price: **$0.04 / image**. Billed per generated image.

The full example input below costs $0.04 = 40 API credits (1 image × 40 API credits).

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/bria/fibo-edit-1.5/expand` 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `image_url` | `image` | string (image URL) | yes |  |  | Image for expansion, supplied as a file or URL. |
| `canvas_size` |  | array of integer \| null | no |  | 2 – 2 items | Expanded-image dimensions paired with 'original_image_location'. Specify [width, height] for the final canvas, keeping its area below 25 megapixels. |
| `aspect_ratio` |  | enum (string) \| null | no |  | `1:1`, `2:3`, `3:2`, `3:4`, `4:3`, `4:5`, `5:4`, `9:16`, `16:9` | Final-image ratio setting that centers the original and extends the surrounding canvas. Specifying it takes precedence over both 'original_image_size' and 'original_image_location'. |
| `original_image_size` |  | array of integer \| null | no |  | 2 – 2 items | Target [width, height] for the original image within the canvas. Supplying 'aspect_ratio' overrides this setting; otherwise, the image is resized to these dimensions before placement. |
| `original_image_location` |  | array of integer \| null | no |  | 2 – 2 items | Placement coordinates [x, y] for the original image's upper-left corner, disregarded when 'aspect_ratio' is supplied. Placement beyond the canvas boundaries is allowed and crops the original. |
| `prompt` |  | string \| null | no |  |  | Optional description of content for the added area. A plain canvas adjustment usually needs no description: omission asks the model simply to extend the existing image. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  | 0 – 2,147,483,647 | Random-generation seed, always included in the response whether supplied here or chosen randomly when omitted. A value taken from an earlier response can recreate its result. |
| `negative_prompt` |  | string \| null | no |  |  | Compatibility check for requests written for the SDXL expansion API route: supplying this unsupported input triggers an explicit rejection so its value cannot be silently lost. Use 'prompt' instead. |
| `retain_original_quality` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Enable this to keep the mask-protected original pixels at full resolution without resampling. The model generates at roughly one megapixel, then upscales for larger canvases. Disabling this makes the result uniformly soft, which may conceal a seam against a textured background. |
| `preserve_alpha` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Preserves input transparency by extending the original alpha channel through edge replication, as needed to expand a cutout. Because generation operates in RGB, the model does not produce alpha. Disable this to receive flattened RGB output. |
| `return_model_output` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Return an additional diagnostic frame to distinguish model errors from compositing errors, without changing the final image. It shows the model's result before the original is reinserted and seams are blended; any boundary defect already visible in this frame is a generation error, not a post-processing error. |

File parameters (`image`) take a public `https://` URL, a `data:` URI up to 10 MB, or the `file_url` of an upload from `POST /files`.

## Example input

Required parameters only:

```json
{
  "image": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg"
}
```

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg"
}
```

## 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/bria/fibo-edit-1.5/expand?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg"
  }'

# 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/bria/fibo-edit-1.5/expand?wait=20", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg"
  }),
});
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 = {
    "image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg",
}

# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
r = requests.post(API + "/run/bria/fibo-edit-1.5/expand", 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": "bria/fibo-edit-1.5/expand",
      "input": {
        "image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg"
      },
      "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.
