Ideogram API — Character, V3 & Reframe Image Generation

The Ideogram API hub brings three live image endpoints into one Muapi catalog: Ideogram Character for consistent subjects, Ideogram V3 for text-to-image and typography, and Ideogram V3 Reframe for aspect-ratio expansion. Use one asynchronous submit-and-poll workflow across generation and editing tasks.

What is the Ideogram API?

Ideogram is a three-endpoint image family on Muapi. The catalog includes ideogram-v3-t2i for prompt-based image generation, ideogram-character for creating new scenes around one reference character, and ideogram-v3-reframe for extending an existing image to a new aspect ratio.

The required inputs differ by workflow: Ideogram V3 requires prompt; Ideogram Character requires prompt and image_url; and V3 Reframe requires image_url without a prompt. All three expose Turbo, Balanced, and Quality render speeds, support 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, and 3:4 outputs, and accept num_images from 1 to 4. Character uses Auto, Realistic, or Fiction styles; V3 and Reframe use Auto, General, Realistic, or Design styles.

Muapi lists Ideogram V3 at $0.02 per generated image. Ideogram Character and V3 Reframe are $0.15 per generated image. When num_images is greater than one, each output is charged separately, so the endpoint's displayed price is a per-image rate rather than a flat batch fee.

Ideogram API capabilities

Typography-focused generation

Create posters, branded artwork, concept art, and photorealistic scenes from text with Ideogram V3's strong text-rendering workflow.

Character reference

Give Ideogram Character one clear reference image and a prompt to place the same subject into new outfits, poses, styles, and settings.

Prompt-free reframing

Use Ideogram V3 Reframe with an image_url and target aspect_ratio to outpaint a canvas without writing a new generation prompt.

Flexible controls and batching

Select render speed, style, and one of five aspect ratios, then request 1–4 images with per-image billing.

Ideogram workflows

Brand and editorial design

Use Ideogram V3 for legible poster copy, campaign concepts, packaging mockups, and typography-led social assets.

Consistent characters

Use Ideogram Character to carry a recognizable person or illustrated character through a comic, storyboard, children's book, or game concept.

Multi-format production

Use V3 Reframe to adapt an image for landscape, portrait, square, or print-oriented placements while extending the surrounding canvas.

Quick start — Ideogram API code examples

Submit an Ideogram V3 text-to-image task with your Muapi key, receive a request ID, and poll the shared predictions endpoint for the generated image URL.

1. Submit an Ideogram V3 job

curl -X POST https://api.muapi.ai/api/v1/ideogram-v3-t2i \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"prompt":"A hand-painted travel poster with the words 'MUAPI AI' in bold cream lettering, a red tram crossing a rainy European street","render_speed":"Balanced","style":"Design","aspect_ratio":"4:3","num_images":1}'

# Response: {"request_id":"REQUEST_ID"}

The example uses the live Ideogram V3 text-to-image endpoint with a design style and one output. Switch to ideogram-character or ideogram-v3-reframe and provide the required image_url for those workflows.

2. Poll the result

curl https://api.muapi.ai/api/v1/predictions/REQUEST_ID/result \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Poll until the task completes, then read the generated image URL or URLs from the result response.

Ideogram API FAQ

Which Ideogram endpoints are available on Muapi?

Muapi lists three live endpoints: ideogram-v3-t2i for text-to-image generation, ideogram-character for reference-driven character generation, and ideogram-v3-reframe for image outpainting and reframing.

What inputs does each Ideogram endpoint require?

Ideogram V3 requires prompt. Ideogram Character requires prompt and image_url. Ideogram V3 Reframe requires image_url and does not require a prompt. Each endpoint also exposes render_speed, style, aspect_ratio, and num_images according to its schema.

How does Ideogram Character keep a subject consistent?

Provide one clear reference image with a detailed prompt describing the new scene. Character is designed to preserve the subject's recognizable identity while changing its pose, outfit, setting, or visual narrative.

Does Ideogram V3 Reframe need a prompt?

No. Pass image_url and choose an aspect_ratio. The Reframe endpoint extends the existing canvas through outpainting, with optional render speed, style, and output count controls.

How much does the Ideogram API cost?

Ideogram V3 costs $0.02 per generated image. Ideogram Character and Ideogram V3 Reframe cost $0.15 per generated image. A request for up to four outputs is charged once for every image returned.

Which styles and aspect ratios are supported?

All three endpoints support Turbo, Balanced, and Quality render speeds plus 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, and 3:4 aspect ratios. Character offers Auto, Realistic, and Fiction styles; V3 and Reframe offer Auto, General, Realistic, and Design.
