Put Ideogram 4.5 in your workflow.

A short API map for developers. Choose the provider, then use its own schema and authentication.

Two jobs, two endpoints

The official API exposes generation at /v2/image/generate/ideogram-4-5 and precise editing at /v2/image/precise-edit/ideogram-4-5. Generation starts with a prompt; precise editing also requires a source image.

On fal, the corresponding model IDs are ideogram/v4.5 and ideogram/v4.5/edit. For the edit model, set edit_precision to high when you need precise editing. Provider field names differ.

Queue work and return later

Submit once and retain the returned request ID. Check that request’s status until it completes, then retrieve the image. A browser refresh or transient network error should check the same job, rather than submit another paid generation.

// Run this on your server. FAL_KEY stays server-side.
const job = await fetch(
  'https://queue.fal.run/ideogram/v4.5',
  {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      Authorization: 'Key ' + process.env.FAL_KEY,
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      prompt: 'A cobalt ceramic cup in soft studio light',
      quality: 'low',
      image_size: 'square_hd',
      num_images: 1,
    }),
  }
).then(response => response.json());
// Store job.request_id, job.status_url and job.response_url.

Before putting it in production

• Keep API credentials on the server, outside the client bundle.
• Validate prompt lengths, upload types, sizes and requested model IDs.
• Scope each request to its user and protect status and download routes.
• Limit usage before submission and make retries idempotent.
• Download finished outputs you need to keep; hosted links can expire.
