Z-Image Turbo API — frequently asked questions
How do I use the Z-Image Turbo API?
Install the official Node.js (npm install getimg-ai) or Python (pip install getimg) SDK, or call the endpoint directly over HTTP from any client.
Make a POST request to /v2/images/generations with your API key and a JSON body containing the model ID (z-image-turbo) and a prompt. The response includes the generated image URL.
See the API documentation for the full parameter reference.
Which SDK should I use?
Use getimg-ai for Node.js and TypeScript projects, and getimg for Python. Both wrap the same REST API with typed inputs, retries, and built-in polling for video generations.
