Get a generation

generations.get(generation_id) -> Generation

GET/generations/{generation_id}

Poll for generation status and output. On completion, the response includes presigned URLs to download the generated images. When usage reporting is enabled, usage.credits_charged carries the credits actually charged once billing settles, which can be after the generation reaches a terminal state. Poll with backoff up to a cutoff you choose; some generations keep a null charge permanently.

ParametersExpandCollapse

generation_id: str

format: uuid

ReturnsExpandCollapse

class Generation: …

Generation status and output

id: str

Generation identifier

format: uuid

created_at: str

Creation timestamp

model: Model

Model used

One of the following:

"uni-1"

"uni-1-max"

"ray-3.2"

state: Literal["queued", "processing", "completed", "failed"]

Current state of the generation

One of the following:

"queued"

"processing"

"completed"

"failed"

type: Literal["image", "image_edit", "video", 3 more]

The kind of generation to perform

One of the following:

"image"

"image_edit"

"video"

"video_edit"

"video_reframe"

"layering"

failure_code: Optional[GenerationFailureCode]

Machine-readable failure code for programmatic handling

One of the following:

"content_moderated"

"generation_failed"

"budget_exhausted"

"output_not_found"

"image_too_large"

"unsupported_format"

"corrupt_input"

"invalid_request"

"rate_limited"

failure_reason: Optional[str]

Human-readable failure description

output: Optional[List[GenerationOutput]]

Generated outputs (populated on completion)

type: str

Media type (e.g. image, video)

url: str

Presigned URL (1hr expiry)

format: uri

layer: Optional[Layer]

Per-layer semantics for a type=layering output

alpha_hint: str

Edge treatment of the layer's transparency — soft (hair/fur/glass), hard (solid edges), or none (the opaque background)

description: str

Complete-element caption for the layer's content

index: int

Layer position, front-to-back; the last layer is the background

label: str

Short (1-2 word) layer name

bounds: Optional[LayerBounds]

Where a layer's returned pixels sit inside the full composite frame. Layer images are cropped to their visible-alpha bounding box, so layers of one stack have differing pixel dimensions. Composite onto a transparent canvas_width x canvas_height image by pasting each layer at (x, y), iterating the output list in reverse (back-to-front), to reconstruct the source frame.

canvas_height: int

Height of the full composite canvas the layers reassemble into

canvas_width: int

Width of the full composite canvas the layers reassemble into

height: int

Pixel height of the returned layer image

width: int

Pixel width of the returned layer image

x: int

Left offset of this layer's pixels within the composite canvas

y: int

Top offset of this layer's pixels within the composite canvas

contains_text: Optional[bool]

Whether the layer was planned as typeset text (a headline, caption, or label) rather than an image element. Null when not reported for this generation.

text: Optional[LayerText]

The text on one live-text layer, as a string plus how it is styled. Placement is the owning layer's bounds — the text fills that box.

content: str

The text as shown, preserving capitalization; one line per line (newline-separated)

decorated: Optional[bool]

True when the lettering is ornamental (outlines, patterned fills, bevels, drop shadows), so plain typeset text will not reproduce its look.

font: Optional[LayerTextFont]

Described letterform traits of a text layer — enough to pick a matching font.

category: Literal["sans serif", "serif", "slab serif", 6 more]

Letterform style

One of the following:

"sans serif"

"serif"

"slab serif"

"display sans"

"display serif"

"display slab"

"display decorative"

"handwriting"

"monospace"

families: List[str]

Up to three Google Fonts family names that resemble the lettering, closest first. Empty when none of the offered families fit.

italic: bool

Whether the letters are slanted or cursive

weight: Literal["thin", "light", "regular", 3 more]

Stroke weight

One of the following:

"thin"

"light"

"regular"

"medium"

"bold"

"black"

width: Literal["condensed", "normal", "wide"]

Letter width for its height

One of the following:

"condensed"

"normal"

"wide"

match: Optional[LayerTextFontMatch]

The font in your font catalog that the lettering matches, so you can re-set the text in it. Absent when no catalog font matches closely enough, or matching is not enabled. The image itself is not rendered in this font.

face_id: str

Typed ref of the matched face (one weight and style), font_face:

family_id: str

Typed ref of the matched font family, font_family:

family_name: str

Name of the matched font family

style: Literal["normal", "italic"]

Style of the matched face

One of the following:

"normal"

"italic"

weight: int

CSS font weight of the matched face, e.g. 400 or 700

usage: Optional[GenerationUsage]

What one generation actually cost, as billing settled it

credits_charged: int

Credits actually charged for this generation. Null until billing has settled it; a confirmed no-charge outcome is 0. Stays null for a generation whose charge could not be confirmed, including ones settled before this field existed. Never an estimate or the reserved amount.
