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/openai/gpt-image-2.5-flare/text-to-image" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "input": {
    "prompt": "A futuristic cityscape at sunset, with glowing skyscrapers and flying cars.",
    "n": 1,
    "aspect_ratio": "1:1",
    "resolution": "1k",
    "quality": "auto",
    "output_format": "png",
    "moderation": "auto"
  }
}'

# 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"

How do you write prompts for OpenAI GPT Image 2.5 Flare 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 $0.220 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.
