# Z Image Trainer API

> Traint een LoRA voor Z-Image Turbo uit een zipbestand met afbeeldingen, met focus op inhoud, stijl of balans

Fine-tunet een LoRA op je eigen afbeeldingen die als ziparchief worden aangeleverd, idealiter minimaal 10, optioneel met een tekstbestand met bijschrift per afbeelding. Stel `training_type` in op content, stijl of balanced, `steps` op 100 tot 10000 en `learning_rate`. Een `default_caption` vult ontbrekende bijschriften aan. Produceert de LoRA-gewichten en een configuratiebestand.

- Model id: `z-image-trainer`
- Made by: Alibaba
- Category: Training
- Output: file
- Price: $0.00226 / step (cheapest run $2.26 (2260 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/z-image-trainer`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/z-image-trainer`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/nl/developers/models/z-image-trainer

## Pricing

Price: **$0.00226 / step**. Billed per training step (`steps`).

The full example input below costs $2.26 = 2260 API credits (1000 steps × 2.26 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/z-image-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 van een zip-archief met stilistisch consistente afbeeldingen; minimaal 10 worden aanbevolen en grotere sets hebben de voorkeur. Voor elk afbeeldingspaar kunnen bewerkingsinstructies worden aangeleverd in een overeenkomend tekstbestand met de naam ROOT.txt, zoals photo.txt. Ontbrekende tekstbestanden vallen terug op default_caption; de training mislukt als die fallback ook ontbreekt. |
| `steps` |  | integer | no | `1000` | 100 – 10,000 | Totaal aantal trainingsstappen. |
| `learning_rate` |  | number | no | `0.0001` |  | Leersnelheid voor trainbare parameters. |
| `default_caption` |  | string \| null | no |  |  | Caption die wordt gebruikt in plaats van ontbrekende captionbestanden, waarbij None hun afwezigheid juist als fout behandelt. |
| `training_type` |  | enum (string) | no | `balanced` | `content`, `style`, `balanced` | Trainingsfocus: 'content' benadrukt de inhoud van de afbeelding, 'style' benadrukt de stijl van de afbeelding en 'balanced' combineert beide. |

## 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/z-image-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/z-image-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/z-image-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": "z-image-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.
