## API Information

This model can be used via our HTTP API or more conveniently via our client libraries.
See the input and output schema below, as well as the usage examples.

### Input Schema

The API accepts the following input parameters:

- **`prompt`** (`string`, _required_):
  Text prompt
  - Examples: "An action shot of a black lab swimming..."

- **`num_images`** (`int`, _optional_):
  The number of images to generate
  - Default: `1`
  - Options: "1", "2", "3", "4"

- **`image_urls`** (`list<string>`, _required_):
  The URLs of the images to use for image-to-image generation or image editing

- **`aspect_ratio`** (`string`, _required_):
  The aspect ratio of the generated image
  - Options: "9:16", "2:3", "3:4", "4:5", "1:1", "5:4", "4:3", "3:2", "16:9", "21:9"

### Output Schema

The API returns a JSON response with a `job_id` for tracking the request status.

**Create Job Response:**
```json
{
  "code": 0,
  "data": {
    "amount": "0.02",
    "job_id": "<JOB_ID>"
  }
}
```

**Query Job Result (when status is 2, meaning succeeded):**
```json
{
  "code": 0,
  "data": {
    "status": 2,
    "result": {
      "images": [{ "url": "https://..." }]
    }
  }
}
```

## Use Example

To use this model, make an HTTP POST request to the API endpoint, then poll for results using the returned `job_id`.

Arrange the stickers in a 2x3 grid on a 16:9 aspect ratio paper.
Two rows, three columns.
