# Qwen Image Edit 2509 Trainer API

> Trains a custom LoRA for Qwen Image Edit 2509 from a zip of paired start and end images

Fits a LoRA on your own before/after examples. `image_data_url` points to a zip of image pairs named ROOT_start.EXT and ROOT_end.EXT. Set `steps` (1 to 30000, default 1000) and `learning_rate`, and optionally a `default_caption` for pairs without caption files. Outputs a config file and diffusers LoRA weights.

- Model id: `qwen-image-edit-2509-trainer`

- Category: Training
- Output: file
- Price per run: from $0.40 / run (cheapest run $0.40 (400 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/qwen-image-edit-2509-trainer`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/qwen-image-edit-2509-trainer`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/developers/models/qwen-image-edit-2509-trainer

## Pricing

Price: **from $0.40 / 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 $4.00 = 4000 API credits (1 run × $4.00).

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/qwen-image-edit-2509-trainer` 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `image_data_url` |  | string | yes |  |  | URL of a ZIP archive containing paired images named ROOT_start.EXT and ROOT_end.EXT, such as photo_start.jpg and photo_end.jpg. Multiple reference images per pair are supported using ROOT_start.EXT, ROOT_start2.EXT, ROOT_start3.EXT, ..., ROOT_end.EXT (for example, photo_start.jpg, photo_start2.jpg, photo_end.jpg); set Reference Image Count to match the reference image total. Each pair may also include editing instructions in ROOT.txt (for example, photo.txt); without that file, training uses default_caption, and training fails if default_caption is also absent. |
| `learning_rate` |  | number | no | `0.0001` |  | Rate used to update LoRA parameters during learning. |
| `steps` |  | integer | no | `1000` | 1 – 30,000 | Total training step count. |
| `default_caption` |  | string \| null | no |  |  | Caption used in place of missing caption files, with None making their absence an error instead. |

## Example input

Required parameters only:

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

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "image_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/qwen-image-edit-2509-trainer?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "image_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/qwen-image-edit-2509-trainer?wait=20", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "image_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 = {
    "image_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/qwen-image-edit-2509-trainer", 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": "qwen-image-edit-2509-trainer",
      "input": {
        "image_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.
