  "polling_url": "https://gateway.pixazo.ai/v2/requests/status/gpt-image-2_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
}

Webhook (Optional)

Add the X-Webhook-URL header to your submit request to receive a POST callback when the job completes — no polling required.

Using curl? These are HTTP request headers — pass each with -H, e.g. -H "X-Webhook-URL: https://your-server.com/webhook/callback". Do not paste them as bare lines, and end every line of a multi-line command with \.

Webhook Headers

HeaderRequiredDefaultDescription
X-Webhook-URLYes (to enable)HTTPS endpoint on your server that will receive the POST callback. Must respond 2xx within a few seconds (process async if needed).
X-Webhook-ModeNoterminalterminal — fires once at the final status (COMPLETED/FAILED/ERROR). sync — fires on every poll cycle plus the terminal event, and caps the queue’s polling delay at 15s for tighter progress updates.

Example: enable webhook

X-Webhook-URL: https://your-server.com/webhook/callback
X-Webhook-Mode: terminal

Callback Payload

Your endpoint receives a POST application/json with the same shape as the GET /v2/requests/status/{request_id} response. Example terminal callback (mode terminal):

{
  "request_id": "gpt-image-2_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "status": "COMPLETED",
  "model_id": "gpt-image-2",
  "error": null,
  "output": {
    "media_url": [
      "https://pub-582b7213209642b9b995c96c95a30381.r2.dev/v1/gpt-image-2_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/output.png"
    ],
    "media_type": "image/png"
  },
  "created_at": "2026-05-22T13:17:32.110Z",
  "updated_at": "2026-05-22 13:19:23",
  "completed_at": "2026-05-22 13:19:23"
}

Failure callback shape

{
  "request_id": "gpt-image-2_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "status": "ERROR",
  "model_id": "gpt-image-2",
  "error": "Description of the error",
  "output": null,
  "created_at": "...",
  "updated_at": "...",
  "completed_at": "..."
}

Delivery semantics

  • terminal mode (default) — exactly one POST when the request reaches a terminal status. No callback during PROCESSING.
  • sync modePOST on every status poll (with delay capped at ~15s) plus a final POST at terminal status. Use when you want progress updates.
  • Idempotency — use request_id as your idempotency key. Network retries can deliver the same callback more than once; your handler must tolerate duplicates.
  • Response — respond 200 OK within a few seconds. The queue does not block on slow handlers, but persistent failures may stop further deliveries.
  • HTTPS required — plain http:// URLs are rejected.

Request Parameters - Text to Image

Parameter Required Type Default Allowed values / range Description
promptYesstringUp to 32,000 charactersText description of the desired image. Must be non-empty.
nNointeger11–10Number of images to generate in one request.
sizeNostring"auto"1024x1024, 1024x1536, 1536x1024, 2048x2048, 2048x1152, 2160x3840, 3840x2160, auto, or custom W×HOutput dimensions. Custom sizes: both edges multiples of 16px, longest edge up to 3840px, aspect ratio up to 3:1, total pixels 655,360–8,294,400.
qualityNostring"auto"low, medium, high, autoSets how much detail is rendered. High looks the sharpest but takes longer and costs more; Low is good for quick drafts.
formatNostring"png"png, jpeg, webpOutput file format. jpeg is fastest.
output_compressionNointeger1000–100Sets how hard the image is squeezed when it is saved as a JPEG or WebP — lower means a smaller file with softer detail. It has no effect on PNG.
backgroundNostring"auto"opaque, autoSets how the background is handled. GPT Image 2 always fills the background in — transparent cut-outs are not available on this model.
moderationNostring"auto"auto, lowSets how strictly your prompt and the result are checked for sensitive content. Auto is the standard filter; Low is less restrictive.

Typical Workflow

  1. Send a generate request to the API endpoint
  2. Save the request_id from the response
  3. Poll every 5-10 seconds: GET /v2/requests/status/{request_id}
  4. When status is "COMPLETED", download from output.media_url

Tip: Use X-Webhook-URL header to get a callback instead of polling.

imageYesstring or string[]Up to 16 imagesUpload the image you want to edit. Add up to 16 to combine them into a single result. JPG, PNG or WebP; under 50 MB each.
maskNostringPNG with an alpha channel, same dimensions as the first input imageOptional. Upload a PNG the same size as your image, with the parts you want changed fully see-through and everything you want kept solid. Under 4 MB. It applies to the first image.
nNointeger11–10Number of output variations to generate.
sizeNostring"auto"1024x1024, 1024x1536, 1536x1024, 2048x2048, 2048x1152, 2160x3840, 3840x2160, auto, or custom W×HOutput dimensions. Custom sizes: both edges multiples of 16px, longest edge up to 3840px, aspect ratio up to 3:1, total pixels 655,360–8,294,400.

Content Item Types & Limits

TypeMaxFormat / SizeDescription
image16JPG, PNG, WEBP · < 50 MBImage(s) to edit (up to 16).
mask1PNG with an alpha channel · < 4 MBOptional mask; must match image size. Transparent pixels mark the region to edit.

Input image requirements: HTTPS URL or data:image/...;base64,... data-URI. PNG, JPEG, or WEBP. Multiple input images may be combined in a single edit request via the image array.

Edit-specific Notes

  • image as array — each entry is independently resolved (URL fetched, or base64 decoded). All are uploaded as repeated image[] parts. Useful for "combine these references" workflows.
  • mask semantics — must match the input image's dimensions. The mask must be a PNG with an alpha channel — fully transparent pixels mark the region to edit, opaque pixels are preserved. A flat black & white PNG carries no alpha channel and is rejected before the request reaches the model, because a fully opaque image selects nothing. If mask is omitted, the entire image is in scope for the edit.
  • Multi-image + mask together — allowed, but the mask applies to the first input image only.
  • transparent background — NOT supported on gpt-image-2 (only opaque and auto).

}

Webhook (Optional)

Add the X-Webhook-URL header to your submit request to receive a POST callback when the job completes — no polling required.

Using curl? These are HTTP request headers — pass each with -H, e.g. -H "X-Webhook-URL: https://your-server.com/webhook/callback". Do not paste them as bare lines, and end every line of a multi-line command with \.

Webhook Headers

HeaderRequiredDefaultDescription
X-Webhook-URLYes (to enable)HTTPS endpoint on your server that will receive the POST callback. Must respond 2xx within a few seconds (process async if needed).
X-Webhook-ModeNoterminalterminal — fires once at the final status (COMPLETED/FAILED/ERROR). sync — fires on every poll cycle plus the terminal event, and caps the queue’s polling delay at 15s for tighter progress updates.

Example: enable webhook

X-Webhook-URL: https://your-server.com/webhook/callback
X-Webhook-Mode: terminal

Callback Payload

Your endpoint receives a POST application/json with the same shape as the GET /v2/requests/status/{request_id} response. Example terminal callback (mode terminal):

{
  "request_id": "gpt-image-1-5-api-923_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "status": "COMPLETED",
  "model_id": "gpt-image-1-5-api-923",
  "error": null,
  "output": {
    "media_url": [
      "https://pub-582b7213209642b9b995c96c95a30381.r2.dev/v1/gpt-image-1-5-api-923_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/output.png"
    ],
    "media_type": "image/png"
  },
  "created_at": "2026-05-22T13:17:32.110Z",
  "updated_at": "2026-05-22 13:19:23",
  "completed_at": "2026-05-22 13:19:23"
}

Failure callback shape

{
  "request_id": "gpt-image-1-5-api-923_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "status": "ERROR",
  "model_id": "gpt-image-1-5-api-923",
  "error": "Description of the error",
  "output": null,
  "created_at": "...",
  "updated_at": "...",
  "completed_at": "..."
}

Delivery semantics

  • terminal mode (default) — exactly one POST when the request reaches a terminal status. No callback during PROCESSING.
  • sync modePOST on every status poll (with delay capped at ~15s) plus a final POST at terminal status. Use when you want progress updates.
  • Idempotency — use request_id as your idempotency key. Network retries can deliver the same callback more than once; your handler must tolerate duplicates.
  • Response — respond 200 OK within a few seconds. The queue does not block on slow handlers, but persistent failures may stop further deliveries.
  • HTTPS required — plain http:// URLs are rejected.

Request Parameters - GPT-Image 1.5 API generate request

Parameter Required Type Default Allowed values / range Description
promptYesstring2–32,000 charactersDetailed text description of the desired image (2–32,000 characters).
image_sizeNostring"1024x1024"1024x1024, 1536x1024, 1024x1536Output dimensions — square, landscape, or portrait.
qualityNostring"high"low, medium, highSets how much detail is rendered. High looks the sharpest but takes longer and costs more; Low is good for quick drafts.
backgroundNostring"auto"auto, transparent, opaqueSets how the background is handled. Transparent gives you a cut-out with no background, saved as a PNG or WebP; Opaque fills it in.
num_imagesNointeger11–4Number of images to generate in one request.
output_formatNostring"png"jpeg, png, webpOutput file format.
sync_modeNobooleanfalseIf true, returns the image as a base64-encoded data URI inline in the response. If false, returns hosted image URLs via the async queue.

Request Parameters - GPT Image 1.5 Edit generate request

Parameter Required Type Default Allowed values / range Description
promptYesstring2–32,000 charactersText description of the desired edit (2–32,000 characters). Must clearly specify changes to the reference image.
image_urlsYesstring[]Upload the image you want to edit. Add more than one to combine them into a single result. JPG, PNG or WebP; under 50 MB each.
num_imagesNointeger11, 2, 3, 4Number of edited images to generate. Allowed values: 1, 2, 3, 4.
image_sizeNoenum"auto"auto, 1024x1024, 1536x1024, 1024x1536Output image dimensions. Allowed values: `auto`, `1024x1024`, `1536x1024`, `1024x1536`. `auto` selects size based on input image.
backgroundNoenum"auto"auto, transparent, opaqueSets how the background is handled. Transparent removes it for a cut-out; Opaque fills it with a neutral tone.
qualityNoenum"high"low, medium, highSets how much detail is kept in the edit. High looks the sharpest but takes longer and costs more; Low is good for quick drafts.
input_fidelityNoenum"high"low, highSets how closely the result sticks to your original image. High keeps more of its texture and detail, which suits faces and fine detail; Low gives the model more freedom to change things.
output_formatNoenum"png"jpeg, png, webpFile format of generated images. Allowed values: `jpeg`, `png`, `webp`.
mask_image_urlNostringOptional. Upload a PNG with an alpha channel, the same size as the one you are editing: fully transparent pixels mark the areas to change, opaque pixels stay as they are. A black-and-white or grayscale PNG has no alpha channel and is rejected. Under 4 MB.
sync_modeNobooleanfalseIf `true`, returns media as base64-encoded data URI inline in the response. If `false`, returns a polling ID and async output URL.
