}# xai/grok-imagine-image/text-to-image
> xAI Grok Imagine generates images from natural-language prompts at 1K or 2K resolution, with 14 aspect ratios.
## Overview
- **Submit endpoint (POST)**: `https://api.atlascloud.ai/api/v1/model/generateImage` — start an async generation; returns a `prediction_id`
- **Poll endpoint (GET)**: `https://api.atlascloud.ai/api/v1/model/prediction/{prediction_id}` — poll this until the prediction finishes
- **Model ID**: `xai/grok-imagine-image/text-to-image`
## 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:
- **`model`** (`string`, _required_):
Model name.
- Default: `"xai/grok-imagine-image/text-to-image"`
- **`prompt`** (`string`, _required_):
Natural-language description of the image to generate.
- Default: `"A collage of London landmarks in a stenciled street-art style."`
- **`num_images`** (`integer`, _optional_):
Number of images to generate. Each image is billed separately.
- Default: `1`
- Options: 1, 2, 3, 4
- **`aspect_ratio`** (`string`, _optional_):
Aspect ratio of the generated image.
- Default: `"1:1"`
- Options: "1:1", "3:4", "4:3", "9:16", "16:9", "2:3", "3:2", "9:19.5", "19.5:9", "9:20", "20:9", "1:2", "2:1"
- **`resolution`** (`string`, _optional_):
Output resolution. 1k = 1024x1024, 2k = 2048x2048.
- Default: `"1k"`
- Options: "1k", "2k"
- **`enable_base64_output`** (`boolean`, _optional_):
If enabled, the output will be encoded into a BASE64 string instead of a URL.
- Default: `false`
**Required Parameters Example**:
```json
{
"model": "xai/grok-imagine-image/text-to-image",
"prompt": "A collage of London landmarks in a stenciled street-art style."
}
```
**Full Example**:
```json
{
"model": "xai/grok-imagine-image/text-to-image",
"prompt": "A collage of London landmarks in a stenciled street-art style.",
"num_images": 1,
"aspect_ratio": "1:1",
"resolution": "1k",
"enable_base64_output": false
}
```
### Output Schema
The API returns the following output format:
- **`id`** (`string`, _optional_):
Unique identifier for the prediction, the ID of the prediction to get.
- **`urls`** (`object`, _optional_):
Object containing related API endpoints.
- **`model`** (`string`, _optional_):
Model ID used for the prediction.
- **`status`** (`string`, _optional_):
Status of the task: created, processing, completed, or failed.
- **`outputs`** (`array[string]`, _optional_):
Array of URLs to the generated images (empty when status is not completed).
- **`created_at`** (`string`, _optional_):
ISO timestamp of when the request was created.
**Example Response**:
```json
{
"id": "",
"urls": {},
"model": "",
"status": "",
"outputs": [
""
],
"created_at": ""
}
```
## Usage Examples
### cURL
```bash
# Step 1: Start generation (async)
curl -X POST "https://api.atlascloud.ai/api/v1/model/generateImage" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "xai/grok-imagine-image/text-to-image",
"prompt": "A collage of London landmarks in a stenciled street-art style.",
"num_images": 1,
"aspect_ratio": "1:1",
"resolution": "1k",
"enable_base64_output": false
}'
# Response will contain: {"code": 200, "data": {"id": "prediction_id", "status": "processing"}}
# Step 2: Poll for result (replace {prediction_id} with the id returned above)
curl -X GET "https://api.atlascloud.ai/api/v1/model/prediction/{prediction_id}" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY"
# Keep polling until status is "completed", "succeeded" or "failed"
# When completed, outputs will contain the generated content URL(s)
```
