Create a generation
A request contains model, prompt, and only applicable artifact parameters: size, aspect ratio, format, or result count.
Do not use a text model as an image identifier: select the model from its catalogue modality.
Image generation request
bash
curl --request POST https://cicora.ai/api/v1/images \
--header "Authorization: Bearer $CICORA_API_KEY" \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
"model": "google/gemini-2.5-flash-image",
"prompt": "A precise editorial illustration of a delivery route at dusk",
"aspect_ratio": "1:1",
"resolution": "1K",
"n": 1
}'References and editing
- Send reference images through input_references only in the form supported by the selected model.
- Image-to-image and editing use the same /images route with the source reference and a textual instruction.
- Check mime type, size, and rights for an input file before sending it.
Receive the artifact
In the compatible response, read data[].b64_json as image bytes; media_type can identify the format. Retain metadata with its prompt and model.
Do not publish a partial result as final. With streaming delivery, distinguish a draft event from a completed artifact.
