# Phota Text to Image API

> Maandishi hadi picha yenye modeli ya msingi inayoweza kuchaguliwa na usaidizi wa wasifu wa utambulisho uliofunzwa kwenye kidokezo

Huzalisha picha kutoka kwa kidokezo na inaweza kurejelea wasifu uliofunzwa kwenye maandishi ya kidokezo kama [[profile_id_1]] na kuendelea. `base_model` huchagua kijenereta: nb2, qwen-image-2, flux-2 au seedream-5-pro. `resolution` ni 1K au 4K, huku 4K ikiwa kwenye nb2 pekee. Uwiano wa picha ni auto, 1:1, 16:9, 4:3, 3:4 au 9:16, na picha 1 hadi 4 hurudishwa kwa kila ombi.

- Model id: `phota`
- Made by: Open model
- Category: Text to Image
- Output: image
- Price: from $0.09 / image (cheapest run $0.09 (90 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/phota`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/phota`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/sw/developers/models/phota

## Pricing

Price: **from $0.09 / image** (the lowest tier; the quote prices your exact input). Billed per generated image (`num_images`, default 1).

Price rules (the first rule that matches the input wins; a parameter you leave out counts as its default):

- When `resolution` = 4K: $0.18 (180 API credits) / image

The full example input below costs $0.09 = 90 API credits (1 image × 90 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/phota` 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 cha kuzalisha picha ambacho wasifu mahususi unaweza kurejelewa kwa [[profile_id_1]], [[profile_id_2]], na kuendelea; eleza picha unayotaka kuunda. |
| `num_images` | `num_outputs` | integer | no | `1` | 1 – 4 | Idadi ya picha za kuzalisha. |
| `output_format` |  | enum (string) | no | `jpeg` | `jpeg`, `png` | Muundo wa faili wa picha inayotokana. |
| `resolution` |  | enum (string) | no | `1K` | `1K`, `4K` | Mwonekano wa kutumia kwa picha inayozalishwa. |
| `aspect_ratio` |  | enum (string) | no | `auto` | `auto`, `1:1`, `16:9`, `4:3`, `3:4`, `9:16` | Uwiano wa upana kwa urefu wa picha ya tokeo. |
| `base_model` |  | enum (string) | no | `nb2` | `nb2`, `qwen-image-2`, `flux-2`, `seedream-5-pro` | Uteuzi wa modeli ya rendering, huku `4K` ikipatikana kupitia `nb2` pekee. Tabaka za utambulisho huwekwa juu ya modeli yoyote ya msingi iliyochaguliwa, hivyo kila chaguo linaoana na wasifu uliofunzwa. |
| `enable_safety_checker` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Ukaguzi unaweza kulegezwa kwa kuweka false, ikiwa mpigaji simu ameidhinishwa. |

## 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/phota?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/phota?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/phota", 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": "phota",
      "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.
