# Train Flux LoRA API

> Trains a Flux LoRA on a zip of your images to learn a person, subject or style

Fine-tunes a LoRA from a zip archive of images (`images_data_url`), which may include matching caption text files. Use `trigger_word` to name the concept, and `is_style` for style training, which turns off segmentation and captioning. `create_masks` weights the loss toward subjects, and `steps` accepts 1 to 10000. Returns the diffusers LoRA weights plus a config file.

- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/flux-lora-fast-training`

## Pricing

Price: **from $0.002 / run** (the lowest tier; the quote prices your exact input). Price per run: 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 $2.00 = 2000 API credits (1 run × $2.00).

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/flux-lora-fast-training` 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

| Parameter | Canonical name | Type | Required | Default | Allowed values / range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `images_data_url` |  | string | yes |  |  | Provide images through a ZIP archive URL, optionally pairing each image with a caption text file of the same name. Aim for at least 4 images; larger image sets are generally better. |
| `trigger_word` |  | string \| null | no |  |  | Supply a trigger word as a caption substitute when captions are missing; existing captions prevent trigger_word from being used. Set it to None to use no trigger word. |
| `create_masks` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Enable mask-based weighting of the training loss with True; for images of people, this uses a face mask whenever possible. |
| `steps` |  | integer \| null | no |  | 1 – 10,000 | Training step count for the LoRA. |
| `is_style` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Enable style training with True and specify the style through the trigger word. In this mode, the trigger word replaces captioning, and segmentation is disabled. |
| `is_input_format_already_preprocessed` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Preprocessing status of the supplied data: True indicates an already preprocessed dataset. The default, False, instead requires raw image/caption pairs with matching base names, such as 'photo.jpg' and 'photo.txt'. |
| `data_archive_format` |  | string \| null | no |  |  | Archive format, inferred from its URL when omitted. |

## Example input

Required parameters only:

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

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "images_data_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/flux-lora-fast-training?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "images_data_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/flux-lora-fast-training?wait=20", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "images_data_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 = {
    "images_data_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/flux-lora-fast-training", 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": "flux-lora-fast-training",
      "input": {
        "images_data_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.
