# gpt-image-1 · Edit Image API

> Hubadilisha au kuchanganya picha za marejeo kwa kidokezo, ikiwa na mpangilio wa uaminifu wa ingizo na chaguo la mandharinyuma yenye uwazi

Huzalisha picha mpya kutoka kwa picha moja au zaidi za marejeo katika `image_urls` na kidokezo. `input_fidelity` inaweza kuwa low au high (high kwa chaguomsingi) ili kudhibiti jinsi maingizo yanavyohifadhiwa. Ukubwa ni auto, 1024x1024, 1536x1024 au 1024x1536, ikiwa na mandharinyuma ya auto, transparent au opaque, hadi picha 4, na tokeo la png, jpeg au webp.

- Price per run: from $0.011 / run of output image (cheapest run $0.02 (20 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/gpt-image-1/edit-image`

## Pricing

Price: **from $0.011 / run of output image** (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.

Price by tier:

- low, 1024x1024: $0.011 / run of output image
- low: $0.016 / run of output image
- low, 1536x1024: $0.016 / run of output image
- low, 1024x1536: $0.016 / run of output image
- medium, 1024x1024: $0.042 / run of output image
- medium: $0.063 / run of output image
- medium, 1536x1024: $0.063 / run of output image
- medium, 1024x1536: $0.063 / run of output image
- high, 1024x1024: $0.167 / run of output image
- auto: $0.25 / run of output image
- high: $0.25 / run of output image
- high, 1536x1024: $0.25 / run of output image
- high, 1024x1536: $0.25 / run of output image

The full example input below costs $0.27 = 270 API credits (1 run × $0.25 (auto) + $0.000176 + $0.01525, rounded up to the next $0.01).

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/gpt-image-1/edit-image` 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.

## Example input

Required parameters only:

```json
{
  "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field",
  "images": [
    "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg"
  ]
}

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field",
  "image_urls": [
    "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/gpt-image-1/edit-image?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",
    "image_urls": [
      "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

  "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/gpt-image-1/edit-image?wait=20", {

// 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",
    "image_urls": [
        "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/gpt-image-1/edit-image", 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": "gpt-image-1/edit-image",
      "input": {
        "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field",
        "image_urls": [
          "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.
