# Ideogram V4.0q [instant] API

> Hraðasta texti í mynd-afbrigði Ideogram V4.0q, með læsilegum texta og lágmarksfjölda stika

Einfaldað texti í mynd-líkan fyrir plaköt, lógó og hönnun með læsilegum texta. Inntak takmarkast við kvaðningu, `image_size` með sex forstillingum, `num_images` frá 1 til 4, `seed` og jpeg- eða png-úttak. `expansion_model` getur aðeins verið None eða Medium. Engir valkostir eru fyrir myndhraða eða LoRA.

- Model id: `ideogram/v4/instant`

- 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/is/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 |  |  | Kvaðning sem stýrir myndgerð. |
| `expansion_model` |  | enum (string) | no | `Medium` | `None`, `Medium` | Val á útvíkkun kvaðningar, með hraðvirka magic prompt-líkaninu í gegnum 'Medium' eða enga útvíkkun í gegnum '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` | Upplausn myndarinnar sem verið er að gera. |
| `num_images` | `num_outputs` | integer | no | `1` | 1 – 4 | Fjöldi mynda sem á að búa til. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Sáð fyrir efnisgerð, valið af handahófi nema þú sendir gildi. |
| `enable_safety_checker` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Öryggisathugunarrofi þar sem slökkt stilling krefst heimildar reiknings. Án þeirrar heimildar er sérhver beiðni athuguð óháð stillingunni; true virkjar athugunina. |
| `output_format` |  | enum (string) | no | `jpeg` | `jpeg`, `png` | Skráarsnið myndarinnar sem verður til. |

## 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.
