Route image generation through one workflow

The OpenAI Image Generation API is most useful when image generation needs to happen repeatedly inside an app. Submit a prompt, receive generated output, store the image URL, and attach the result to a user, campaign, product, or content record.

AI industry coverage of OpenAI's image API release shows how image generation is moving into developer workflows. For deeper model capability and cost analysis, use the GPT-Image-2 Guide. For a ChatGPT-focused app integration walkthrough, see the Chat GPT Image Generator API landing page.

API quick start

Use the API tab when image generation belongs inside your product. Keep request metadata explicit so each generated image can be reviewed, billed, and traced.

curl -X POST "https://api.openoctopus.com/v1/images/generations" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENOCTOPUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"openoctopus-gpt-image-2-text-input","prompt":"Create a clean SaaS dashboard hero image, blue lighting, 16:9."}'

Production systems should log prompt, model, user, output URL, latency, cost, review status, and retention policy.
