Quick Start

Create an Image Generation Task

curl -X POST https://monet.vision/api/v1/tasks/async \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MONET_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "type": "image",
    "input": {
      "model": "nano-banana-1",
      "prompt": "A cute cat in a garden",
      "aspect_ratio": "16:9"
    },
    "idempotency_key": "unique-key-123"
  }'

⚠️ Important: idempotency_key is required. Use a unique value (e.g., UUID) to prevent duplicate task creation if the request is retried.

Response:

{
  "id": "task_abc123",
  "status": "pending",
  "type": "image",
  "created_at": "2026-02-27T10:00:00Z"
}

Get Task Status and Result

Task processing is asynchronous. You need to poll the task status until it becomes success or failed. Recommended polling interval: 5 seconds.

curl https://monet.vision/api/v1/tasks/task_abc123 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MONET_API_KEY"

Response when completed:

{
  "id": "task_abc123",
  "status": "success",
  "type": "image",
  "outputs": [
    {
      "model": "nano-banana-1",
      "status": "success",
      "progress": 100,
      "url": "https://files.monet.vision/..."
    }
  ],
  "created_at": "2026-02-27T10:00:00Z",
  "updated_at": "2026-02-27T10:01:30Z"
}

Example: Poll until completion

const TASK_ID = "task_abc123";
const MONET_API_KEY = process.env.MONET_API_KEY;

async function pollTask() {
  while (true) {
    const response = await fetch(
      `https://monet.vision/api/v1/tasks/${TASK_ID}`,
      {
        headers: {
          Authorization: `Bearer ${MONET_API_KEY}`,
        },
      },
    );

    const data = await response.json();
    const status = data.status;

    if (status === "success") {
      console.log("Task completed successfully!");
      console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));
      break;
    } else if (status === "failed") {
      console.log("Task failed!");
      console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));
      break;
    } else {
      console.log(`Task status: ${status}, waiting...`);
      await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 5000));
    }
  }
}

pollTask();
