generate_image

Generate image(s) from a text prompt, optionally with reference images (editing / image-to-image). Waits briefly and usually returns the finished image inline (URL + small preview). Cost in credits is returned.

generate_video

Start a video generation from a text prompt (text-to-video) or from a start image (image-to-video, pass `image_url`). Returns `request_id` and cost in credits immediately — renders take 1–10 min, poll with `wait_generation`.

generate_audio

Generate speech from text with a selected voice and language. Returns an MP3 when complete.

generate_music

Generate background music or a soundtrack from a description of mood, genre and tempo.

wait_generation

Wait for a generation to finish (long-poll up to `wait_seconds`, then returns current status). Call repeatedly until `COMPLETED`, `FAILED` or `CANCELED`. Returns output URLs (and an inline preview) when done.
