# Stability AI

Portkey provides a robust and secure gateway to facilitate the integration of various Large Language Models (LLMs) into your applications, including [Stability AI APIs](https://platform.stability.ai/docs/api-reference).

With Portkey, you can take advantage of features like fast AI gateway access, observability, prompt management, and more, all while ensuring the secure management of your LLM API keys through a [virtual key](/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys) system.

<Note>
  Provider Slug. `stability-ai`

## Portkey SDK Integration with Stability AI

Portkey provides a consistent API to interact with image generation models from various providers. To integrate Stability AI with Portkey:

### 1. Install the Portkey SDK

Add the Portkey SDK to your application to interact with the Stability API through Portkey's gateway.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```sh theme={"system"}
    npm install --save portkey-ai
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```sh theme={"system"}
    pip install portkey-ai
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 2. Initialize Portkey with the Virtual Key

To use Stability AI with Portkey, [get your API key from here](https://platform.stability.ai/account/keys). Then add it to Portkey to create the virtual key

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY", // defaults to process.env["PORTKEY_API_KEY"]
        virtualKey: "VIRTUAL_KEY" // Your Stability AI Virtual Key
    })
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python SDK">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",  # Replace with your Portkey API key
        virtual_key="VIRTUAL_KEY"   # Replace with your virtual key for Stability AI
    )
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### **3. Invoke Image Generation with** Stability AI

Use the Portkey instance to send requests to Stability AI. You can also override the virtual key directly in the API call if needed.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    const image = await portkey.images.generate({
      model:"stable-diffusion-v1-6",
      prompt:"Lucy in the sky with diamonds",
      size:"1024x1024"
    })
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python SDK">
    ```py theme={"system"}
    image = portkey.images.generate(
      model="stable-diffusion-v1-6",
      prompt="Lucy in the sky with diamonds",
      size="1024x1024"
    )
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

Notice how we're using the OpenAI's image generation signature to prompt Stability allowing greater flexibility to change models and providers later if necessary.
