# Qwen Image 3 Edit API

> Bewerken met één tot drie referentieafbeeldingen, sterk in het wijzigen of toevoegen van tekst in een afbeelding.

De bewerkingsmodus van Qwen Image 3 neemt één tot drie referentieafbeeldingen (384 tot 2048 px per zijde) en een instructie die ernaar kan verwijzen als image 1, image 2 en image 3. Het model is bijzonder goed in het vervangen of toevoegen van tekst. Laat de grootte leeg om het model te laten kiezen, of stel een vooraf ingestelde of aangepaste grootte in tot 2K; maximaal zes resultaten per aanvraag.

- Model id: `alibaba/qwen-image-3/edit`
- Made by: Alibaba
- Category: Image Editing
- Output: image
- Price: from $0.04 / image (cheapest run $0.04 (40 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/alibaba/qwen-image-3/edit`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/alibaba/qwen-image-3/edit`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/nl/developers/models/alibaba/qwen-image-3/edit

## Pricing

Price: **from $0.04 / image** (the lowest tier; the quote prices your exact input). Billed per generated image (`num_images`, default 1).

The full example input below costs $0.075 = 75 API credits (1 image × 75 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/alibaba/qwen-image-3/edit` 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 |  | 1 – 5000 characters | Tekst die de uit te voeren bewerking beschrijft, in het Chinees of Engels, beperkt tot 5000 tekens. |
| `negative_prompt` |  | string \| null | no | `` | ≤ 500 characters | Inhoud die uit de resulterende afbeelding moet worden uitgesloten, beperkt tot 500 tekens. |
| `image_size` |  | object {width, height} \| enum (string) \| null | no |  | `square_hd`, `square`, `portrait_4_3`, `portrait_16_9`, `landscape_4_3`, `landscape_16_9` | Afmetingen van de uitvoerafbeelding, beperkt door een totaal aantal pixels van 512 × 512 tot 2048 × 2048. Als je de grootte weglaat, kiest het model automatisch een resolutie. |
| `enable_prompt_expansion` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Bepaalt automatisch herschrijven van de prompt door een LLM om resultaten te verbeteren. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Willekeurige seed voor reproduceerbare resultaten, van 0 tot 2147483647. |
| `num_images` | `num_outputs` | integer | no | `1` | 1 – 6 | Aantal afbeeldingen dat voor generatie wordt aangevraagd. |
| `output_format` |  | enum (string) | no | `png` | `jpeg`, `png`, `webp` | Bestandsindeling van de resulterende afbeelding. |
| `image_urls` | `images` | array of image URL | yes |  |  | Geef 1–3 bewerkingsreferenties op in JPEG-, JPG-, PNG- (zonder alpha) of WEBP-indeling, met maximaal 10MB per bestand en afmetingen van 384–2048px op elke as. Verwijs er in de prompt naar als 'image 1', 'image 2' en 'image 3', volgens de opgegeven volgorde. |

File parameters (`images`) 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
{
  "prompt": "Change the text on the sneaker's side to read \"RUN\" in bold letters",
  "images": [
    "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_sneaker_ad.jpg"
  ]
}
```

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "prompt": "Change the text on the sneaker's side to read \"RUN\" in bold letters",
  "images": [
    "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_sneaker_ad.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/alibaba/qwen-image-3/edit?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "prompt": "Change the text on the sneaker'\''s side to read \"RUN\" in bold letters",
    "images": [
      "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_sneaker_ad.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/alibaba/qwen-image-3/edit?wait=20", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "prompt": "Change the text on the sneaker's side to read \"RUN\" in bold letters",
    "images": [
      "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_sneaker_ad.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 = {
    "prompt": "Change the text on the sneaker's side to read \"RUN\" in bold letters",
    "images": [
        "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_sneaker_ad.jpg",
    ],
}

# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
r = requests.post(API + "/run/alibaba/qwen-image-3/edit", 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": "alibaba/qwen-image-3/edit",
      "input": {
        "prompt": "Change the text on the sneaker's side to read \"RUN\" in bold letters",
        "images": [
          "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_sneaker_ad.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.
