# FLUX.1 [dev] API

> FLUX yenye uzani wazi ya matumizi ya jumla, yenye ukali na uaminifu zaidi kwa vidokezo virefu kuliko schnell.

Modeli ya FLUX yenye vigezo bilioni 12 iliyochujwa kwa mwongozo, ikiwa na ratiba kamili ya usampulishaji (hatua 28 kwa chaguomsingi, inayoweza kurekebishwa kutoka 1 hadi 50) na kiwango cha mwongozo kinachoweza kusanidiwa. Hufuata vidokezo vyenye maelezo na kurenda mikono, nyuso na maandishi mafupi vizuri zaidi kuliko toleo la schnell kwa bei ya juu. Ukubwa uliowekwa au maalum, hadi picha nne kwa ombi, tokeo la JPEG au PNG.

- Model id: `flux/dev`
- Made by: Black Forest Labs
- Category: Text to Image
- Output: image
- Price: $0.025 / megapixel (cheapest run $0.025 (25 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/flux/dev`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/flux/dev`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/sw/developers/models/flux/dev

## Pricing

Price: **$0.025 / megapixel**. Billed per megapixel of output (width × height of every image). Each image is rounded up to a whole megapixel.

The full example input below costs $0.025 = 25 API credits (1 MP × 25 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/flux/dev` 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 |  |  | Kidokezo kinachoongoza uzalishaji wa picha. |
| `image_size` |  | object {width, height} \| enum (string) | no | `landscape_4_3` | `square_hd`, `square`, `portrait_4_3`, `portrait_16_9`, `landscape_4_3`, `landscape_16_9` | Vipimo vya picha iliyozalishwa. |
| `num_inference_steps` |  | integer | no | `28` | 1 – 50 | Idadi ya hatua za inference zitakazoendeshwa. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Seed ya picha zinazoweza kurudiwa: kidokezo na seed zinazofanana huzalisha picha inayofanana wakati toleo la modeli halijabadilika. |
| `guidance_scale` |  | number | no | `3.5` | 1 – 20 | Nguvu ya kufuata kidokezo kwa uteuzi wa picha, iliyoonyeshwa kama CFG (Classifier Free Guidance). |
| `num_images` | `num_outputs` | integer | no | `1` | 1 – 4 | Idadi ya picha iliyoombwa kwa uzalishaji. |
| `output_format` |  | enum (string) | no | `jpeg` | `jpeg`, `png` | Muundo wa faili wa picha inayotokana. |
| `acceleration` |  | enum (string) | no | `none` | `none`, `regular`, `high` | Uongezaji kasi wa uzalishaji, ambapo mipangilio ya juu hupunguza muda unaohitajika kuzalisha matokeo. |

## Example input

Required parameters only:

```json
{
  "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field, telephoto lens"
}
```

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field, telephoto lens",
  "image_size": "landscape_4_3",
  "num_outputs": 1
}
```

## 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/dev?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, telephoto lens",
    "image_size": "landscape_4_3",
    "num_outputs": 1
  }'

# 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/dev?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, telephoto lens",
    "image_size": "landscape_4_3",
    "num_outputs": 1
  }),
});
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, telephoto lens",
    "image_size": "landscape_4_3",
    "num_outputs": 1,
}

# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
r = requests.post(API + "/run/flux/dev", 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/dev",
      "input": {
        "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field, telephoto lens",
        "image_size": "landscape_4_3",
        "num_outputs": 1
      },
      "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.
