Images

Generate Images (OpenAI Compatible API)

Generate an image based on input parameters using an OpenAI compatible endpoint. This endpoint does not support the full feature set of the Venice Image Generation endpoint, but is compatible with the existing OpenAI endpoint.

Authentication: This endpoint accepts either a Bearer API key or a SIGN-IN-WITH-X header for x402 wallet-based authentication. The legacy X-Sign-In-With-X header is also accepted during migration. When using x402, a 402 Payment Required response indicates insufficient balance and includes top-up instructions.
