How do you call this API?

1. Sign up on NamiFusion and create a key on the API Keys page (signup bonus credits can only be used on selected models).
2. Submit a task with the cURL example below, passing your key as a Bearer token.
3. Poll the task status with the returned task_uuid and read the output URLs when completed.

# 1) Submit — returns { "task_uuid": "..." }
curl -X POST "https://www.namifusion.com/api/v1/marketplace/run/flux-2-dev/text-to-image" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "input": {
    "prompt": "A cinematic portrait of a young astronaut standing in a neon-lit greenhouse on Mars, ultra-realistic, detailed face, reflective visor helmet tucked under one arm, lush green plants contrasting with red Martian soil outside the glass dome, soft volumetric lighting, sharp focus, high detail, subtle text label on a nearby equipment case reading \"Ares Botany Lab\"",
    "size": "1024*1024",
    "seed": -1
  }
}'

# 2) Poll until status is "completed", then read the output URLs
curl "https://www.namifusion.com/api/v1/marketplace/run/tasks/TASK_UUID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

What parameters does it take?

prompt (Prompt): required

size (Size): optional, default "1024*1024"

seed (Seed): optional

How do you write prompts for flux-2-dev/text-to-image?

1. Subject first: lead with the actor and action, then add environment, lighting and style ("an astronaut sprinting through a neon street in the rain, cinematic, shallow depth of field").
2. Concrete nouns beat stacked adjectives: "85mm portrait lens, golden-hour backlight" works far better than "very beautiful, ultra high quality".
3. Change one variable per iteration: pin the seed to reproduce a result, tweak a single phrase at a time so you know what actually moved the output.
4. State negatives positively: instead of "no blur", ask for "sharp focus, crisp details".

How much does it cost?

Pay-per-use in credits. About $0.012 per typical run ($1 = 100 credits); the exact price varies with parameters like resolution or duration, and the playground shows the exact quote before you submit.
