# Sana API

> Modeli ya msingi ya Sana ya maandishi-kwa-picha yenye hatua-msingi 18 na mipangilio ya mitindo, kwa chaguo-msingi ikitoa 3840x2160

Huzalisha picha kutoka kwenye `prompt` ya maandishi, ikiwa na kidokezo hasi, mbegu na mwongozo scale (0 hadi 20). Ukubwa chaguomsingi ni 3840x2160, au chagua mpangilio kama square_hd au portrait_16_9. `num_inference_steps` huendesha hatua 1 hadi 50 (chaguomsingi 18). Huzalisha picha 1 hadi 4 kwa ombi katika jpeg au png, ikiwa na mitindo ya hiari kama Anime au Cinematic.

- Model id: `sana`
- Made by: NVIDIA
- Category: Text to Image
- Output: image
- Price: $0.001 / megapixel (cheapest run $0.008 (8 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/sana`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/sana`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/sw/developers/models/sana

## Pricing

Price: **$0.001 / 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 $0.008 = 8 API credits (8 MP × 1 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/sana` 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. |
| `negative_prompt` |  | string | no | `` |  | Kidokezo hasi kinachobainisha maelezo ya picha ya kuondoa, yakiwemo rangi, vitu, mandhari au vipengele vidogo. Mifano ni masharubu, ukungu au mwonekano wa chini. |
| `image_size` |  | object {width, height} \| enum (string) | no | `{"height":2160,"width":3840}` | `square_hd`, `square`, `portrait_4_3`, `portrait_16_9`, `landscape_4_3`, `landscape_16_9` | Vipimo vya picha iliyozalishwa. |
| `num_inference_steps` |  | integer | no | `18` | 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 | `5` | 0 – 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. |
| `enable_safety_checker` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Ukaguzi wa usalama, unaorejesha picha nyeusi badala ya picha zilizobainishwa kuwa si salama. Thamani ya true huanzisha ukaguzi; false huuzima tu kwa akaunti zilizoidhinishwa, huku maombi yasiyo na idhini yakikaguliwa bila kujali. |
| `output_format` |  | enum (string) | no | `jpeg` | `jpeg`, `png` | Muundo wa faili wa picha inayotokana. |
| `style_name` |  | enum (string) | no | `(No style)` | `(No style)`, `Cinematic`, `Photographic`, `Anime`, `Manga`, `Digital Art`, `Pixel art`, `Fantasy art`, `Neonpunk`, `3D Model` | Mtindo wa taswira kwa uzalishaji wa picha. |

}
```

```

## 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/sana?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/sana?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/sana", 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": "sana",
      "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.
