Image Generator

Build a production API for AI image generation

Build a production-ready API that wraps multiple image generation models behind a unified, scalable interface. An agent handles prompt optimization, model routing, and quality control — while the API manages authentication, rate limiting, and billing.

Implementation

  1. 1

    Design the API interface

    Define endpoints for synchronous generation, async batch generation, and image retrieval. Design the request schema with style, size, and quality parameters.

  2. 2

    Build the routing agent

    Create an agent that analyzes each request and routes to the optimal model based on style requirements, quality tier, and cost constraints.

  3. 3

    Implement async processing

    Set up a queue-based architecture for handling high-volume requests. Return job IDs for async requests with webhook notifications on completion.

  4. 4

    Add safety and moderation

    Implement content safety screening on both prompts and generated images. Block prohibited content before it reaches users.

  5. 5

    Deploy with rate limiting and billing

    Configure per-key rate limits, usage tracking, and billing integration. Monitor latency, error rates, and model costs in real-time.

What You Get

  • Unified API across multiple image generation models
  • Intelligent model routing optimizes quality and cost
  • Production-ready with auth, rate limiting, and billing
  • Built-in content safety and moderation pipeline
