Image Generation

The most common use case is that of text-to-image where the user sends a prompt which the image model processes and returns an image.

​

Text-to-Image Usage

Portkey supports the OpenAI signature to make text-to-image requests.

• NodeJS
• Python
• OpenAI NodeJS
• OpenAI Python
• cURL

import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

// Initialize the Portkey client
const portkey = new Portkey({
    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",  // Replace with your Portkey API key
    virtualKey: "VIRTUAL_KEY"   // Add your provider's virtual key
});

async function main() {
  const image = await portkey.images.generate({
    model: "dall-e-3",
    prompt: "Lucy in the sky with diamonds"
  });

  console.log(image.data);
}

main();

API Reference

Create Image

On completion, the request will get logged in the logs UI where the image can be viewed.

(Note that providers may remove the hosted image after a period of time, so some logs might only contain the url)

​

Supported Providers and Models

The following providers are supported for image generation with more providers getting added soon. Please raise a request or a PR to add model or provider to the AI gateway.
