AI commentary
「If you're a developer working on AI integrations, this tutorial is worth a quick look. OpenRouter turns image generation into a unified API, so you don't need to integrate separately with multiple vendors. That said, the tutorial is fairly basic; if you're already familiar with OpenAI's Images API, you'll pick it up quickly.」
Quick overview
OpenRouter released a comprehensive tutorial for its dedicated Image API, enabling developers to generate images by sending a prompt to POST /api/v1/images, decoding the base64 response, saving it locally, and optionally passing a reference image for variations. Runnable Python and JavaScript examples are included, simplifying integration with multiple image generation models.
- Generate images via OpenRouter's dedicated Image API at POST /api/v1/images
- Response is base64-encoded; decode and save locally
- Pass a reference image for variations
- Runnable Python and JavaScript examples included
