Start with the API endpoint

Use the API when image generation needs to happen inside your application rather than a manual browser session. The production pattern is simple: submit a prompt, set format parameters, receive an image, and store the result with the right user, asset, or workflow record.

This fits social content tools, marketing automation, e-commerce catalog systems, creative apps, internal design operations, and agent workflows that need visual output as part of a larger product experience.

Prompt, request, store, route

The API flow should be short, observable, and easy to repeat.

Prepare prompt. Use a clear subject, style, composition, lighting, and destination format.

Send request. Call the API with aspect ratio, candidate count, and any product-level defaults.

Store output. Save generated assets with prompt, parameters, usage target, and user or campaign metadata.

Route review. Send brand-sensitive, text-heavy, or public commercial images through a review step.
