## Input Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `prompt` | string | Yes | - | What to make, or what to change when image_urls is set. Refer to references by position ("the jacket from the second image") and to edit regions as @label or @1, @2. |
| `image_urls` | array | No | - | Optional, up to 8. The first image is the one being edited; the others bring in objects, people or style. Each reference costs about as much as the output again. Four or fewer keep full detail. |
| `edit_regions` | array | No | - | Optional, up to 24 boxes, needs image_urls. Each is { reference_index, x, y, width, height } with coordinates 0 to 1 of that image, plus an optional label (no spaces, call it as @label) and note (up to 600 characters, overrides the prompt inside the box). Boxes on the first image mark where the edit happens; boxes on the others mark objects to bring in. |
| `thinking_level` | enum | No | fast | fast (default), or high for a stronger planning step on multi-step edits and many references. High takes longer. (Options: fast, high) |
| `resolution` | enum | No | 2K | Output size: 1K (about 1 MP), 2K (about 4 MP) or 4K (about 16 MP). (Options: 1K, 2K, 4K) |
| `aspect_ratio` | enum | No | - | Output shape. Defaults to 1:1 without references. With references, leave it out to keep the input shape, or set it to reframe. (Options: 1:1, 4:5, 3:4, 2:3, 9:16...) |
| `num_images` | integer | No | 1 | Number of images to generate (1-4) (min: 1, max: 4) |
| `seed` | integer | No | - | Integer seed for reproducible outputs. |
| `output_format` | enum | No | png | Image output format (Options: png, jpeg, webp) |

    "aspect_ratio": "3:2"
  }'
```

**Response:**

  "jobId": "job_abc123...",
  "status": "pending",
  "statusUrl": "https://pixeldojo.ai/api/v1/jobs/job_abc123",
  "creditCost": 1.5,
  "creditsRemaining": 95
}
```

### 2. Poll for Results

```bash
curl "https://pixeldojo.ai/api/v1/jobs/job_abc123" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
```

**Completed Response:**
```json
{
  "jobId": "job_abc123...",
  "status": "completed",
  "output": {
    "images": ["https://temp.pixeldojo.ai/..."]
  },
  "creditCost": 1.5
}
```

## Python Example

```python
import requests
import time

API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY"

# Submit job
response = requests.post(
    "https://pixeldojo.ai/api/v1/models/krea-3/run",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}",
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    },
    json={
        "prompt": "a quiet canal town at golden hour, film photograph",
        "resolution": "2K",
        "aspect_ratio": "3:2"
    }
)

job = response.json()
job_id = job["jobId"]

# Poll for completion
while True:
    status_response = requests.get(
        f"https://pixeldojo.ai/api/v1/jobs/{'{job_id}'}",
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}"}
    )
    status = status_response.json()
    
    if status["status"] == "completed":
        print("Output:", status["output"])
        break
    elif status["status"] == "failed":
        print("Error:", status.get("error"))
        break
    
    time.sleep(2)
```

## JavaScript Example

```javascript
const API_KEY = 'YOUR_API_KEY';

// Submit job
const submitResponse = await fetch('https://pixeldojo.ai/api/v1/models/krea-3/run', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${API_KEY}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "prompt": "a quiet canal town at golden hour, film photograph",
    "resolution": "2K",
    "aspect_ratio": "3:2"
  })
});

const job = await submitResponse.json();

// Poll for completion
const pollForResult = async (jobId) => {
  while (true) {
    const statusResponse = await fetch(`https://pixeldojo.ai/api/v1/jobs/${jobId}`, {
      headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${API_KEY}` }
    });
    const status = await statusResponse.json();
    
    if (status.status === 'completed') return status.output;
    if (status.status === 'failed') throw new Error(status.error);
    
    await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 2000));
  }
};

const output = await pollForResult(job.jobId);
console.log('Output:', output);
```

## Use Saved Characters (@Name)

Write `@Name` in the prompt to use a character, product, outfit, location, prop or style saved in the account's Character Studio, for example `"@Mara on a beach at sunset"`. Its photos are added to `image_urls` automatically, after any images you send yourself, so your own image numbering is unchanged. List saved names with `GET /api/v1/characters` and save new ones with `POST /api/v1/characters`. An `@word` that names nothing saved stays plain text.
