Brilliant AI’s Text-to-Image API: Quickstart Guide​

Brilliant AI’s text-to-image API makes generating high-quality images as simple as writing a few lines of code. This guide explains how to integrate and use our powerful glimmer-v1 image model.

Quickstart Guide​

Python Example​

from brilliantai import BrilliantAI
import os

api_key = os.environ.get("BRILLIANTAI_API_KEY", "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE")
client = BrilliantAI(api_key=api_key)

print("Generating image...")
image = client.generate_image(
    model="glimmer-v1",
    prompt="A beautiful sunset over the ocean",
    aspect_ratio=BrilliantAI.AspectRatio.SQUARE,
    image_format=BrilliantAI.ImageFormat.PNG,
    seed=42
)

print(f"Generated image: {image.url}")
image.save("generated_image")  # Saves as PNG

JavaScript Example​

const url = "https://api.brilliantai.co/images/generate";
const apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE";

const payload = {
  model: "glimmer-v1",
  prompt: "A beautiful sunset over the ocean",
  aspect_ratio: "square",
  image_format: "png"
};

fetch(url, {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`
  },
  body: JSON.stringify(payload)
})
.then(response => {
  if (!response.ok) {
    throw new Error(`HTTP error! Status: ${response.status}`);
  }
  return response.json();
})
.then(data => {
  console.log('Success!');
  data.images.forEach(image => {
    console.log(`Generated image URL: ${image.url}`);
  });
})
.catch(error => {
  console.error('Error:', error);
});

cURL Example​

curl -X POST "https://api.brilliantai.co/images/generate" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" \
-d '{
  "model": "glimmer-v1",
  "prompt": "A beautiful sunset over the ocean",
  "aspect_ratio": "square",
  "image_format": "png"
}'
