Usage Guide

  • This endpoint creates images based on your text prompt
  • Multiple variations will be generated
  • Supports text-to-image, image-to-image, and image-to-video generation

​
Developer Notes

  • Recommendation for First-Time Users: Start with simple prompts for best results.
  • Generated image files are retained for 15 days before being deleted.
  • Ensure all required fields are provided for optimal generation.

Authorizations

​

​
speed
enum<string>

The speed of the API. It can be 'fast', 'relaxed' or 'turbo', which corresponds to different speed of Midjourney.

  • This parameter is not required when taskType is mj_video, mj_video_hd or mj_omni_reference
Available options:

fast,
turbo
Example:

"relaxed"

​
fileUrl
string

Input image URL (required for image-to-image and image-to-video generation).

  • Use either fileUrl or fileUrls field

  • Image must be accessible to the API server
  • Leave empty for text-to-image generation
Example:

"https://example.com/image.jpg"

​
fileUrls
string[]

Input image URL array (required for image-to-image and image-to-video generation).

  • Use either fileUrl or fileUrls field
  • For backward compatibility, fileUrl field is currently retained
  • When generating videos, fileUrls can only have one image link
  • Recommended to use fileUrls field going forward
  • Must be valid image URLs
  • Images must be accessible to the API server
  • Leave empty for text-to-image generation
Example:
["https://example.com/image.jpg"]
​

​
version
enum<string>

Midjourney model version to use.

Midjourney routinely releases new model versions to improve efficiency, coherency, and quality. The latest model is the default, but each model excels at producing different types of images.

Available options:
7,
6.1,
6,
5.2,
5.1,
niji6
Example:

"7"

​
variety
integer

Controls the diversity of generated images.

  • Increment by 5 each time, such as (0, 5, 10, 15...)
  • Higher values create more diverse results
  • Lower values create more consistent results
Required range: 0 <= x <= 100
Example:

10

​
stylization
integer

Stylization level (0-1000).

  • Controls the artistic style intensity
  • Higher values create more stylized results
  • Lower values create more realistic results
  • Suggested to be a multiple of 50
Required range: 0 <= x <= 1000
Example:

1

​
weirdness
integer

Weirdness level (0-3000).

  • Controls the creativity and uniqueness
  • Higher values create more unusual results
  • Lower values create more conventional results
  • Suggested to be a multiple of 100
Required range: 0 <= x <= 3000
Example:

1

​
ow
integer

Omni intensity parameter. Controls the strength of the omni reference effect. Range: 1-1000, increments of 1 (e.g. 1, 2, 3).

  • Only used when taskType is 'mj_omni_reference'
  • Using an Omni Reference allows you to put characters, objects, vehicles, or non-human creatures from a reference image into your Midjourney creations
  • Higher values result in stronger reference influence
  • Lower values allow for more creative interpretation
Required range: 1 <= x <= 1000
Example:

500

​
waterMark
string

Watermark identifier.

  • Optional parameter
  • If provided, a watermark will be added to the generated content
Example:

"my_watermark"

​
enableTranslation
boolean
default:false

Whether to enable automatic translation.

  • Since prompt only supports English, when this parameter is true, the system will automatically translate non-English prompts to English
  • If your prompt is already in English, you can set this to false
  • Default: false
Example:

false

​
callBackUrl
string<uri>

Callback URL to receive task completion updates.

  • Optional but recommended for production use
  • System will POST task completion status to this URL
  • Alternatively, use the Get Midjourney Task Details endpoint to check status

📖 Detailed Callback Mechanism: See Midjourney Image Generation Callbacks for callback format, status codes, best practices, and troubleshooting.

Example:

"https://api.example.com/callback"
